Bleep

Californian melodic house veteran John Tejada follows up his last release for Kompakt, the poppy electronica 12” ‘Somewhere’, with another mix of 4/4 beats, crisp Berlin electro and luscious guest vocals. ‘We Can Pretend’ takes a scissoring synth loop, gently revs up the bass and then lets Kimi Recor groan “This is the place/Life is on the outside/You can still feel alive” in her best Sade impression. B-side ‘Now We’re Here’ features Morgan Alexandre and his ominous spoken word freakouts set to Tejada’s acid techno - picture John Carpenter getting it on with Orbital and you get the idea.
