Logic Memory Center:John Tejada

Title: Logic Memory Center

Label: Plug Research

Genre: analog-sounding techno

Rating: 6 of 7

Some people have a tough time accepting techno as a respectable genre… my question is, what if an artist is trained in classical piano and drums, not to mention the son of a composer and opera singer, but decides that his calling is in techno; is he respectable then? Well that is up to you, but John Tejada, artist, producer and owner of Palette Records, creates moody techno that doesn’t rely on annoying bloops and bleeps, but analog-sounding clicks and natural bass lines. Logic Memory Center is as dance-y as it is emotional, but innately organic… which is rare in this genre. Tejada shapes each song around upbeat yet subtle drum patterns, and overlays them with soft melodies care of synth snippets and the occasional dark voice. This is definitely an interesting album that helps progress the techno genre.
