Booting up where he left off with SOMEWHERE (KOMPAKT 264), Kompakt gearhead and modular wizard JOHN TEJADA continues to woo away contemporary crowds on WE CAN PRETEND, a somnambulistic two-tracker that delivers more bang for the buck, but also knows its way around the pressure-sensitive areas of the dance floor. The LA-based producer and DJ is well-known for his particular flavor of subtle, but muscular techno delivered in a exceptionally polished manner, but it was his last album THE PREDICTING MACHINE (KOMPAKT 267 CD 102) where we saw him delve deeper into analogue modulars than ever before. The result was a certain rawness that translated quite well into JOHN TEJADA's intricate arrangements and gave the producer the necessary edge for reaching a new level in his work. That can be clearly heard on the title track of WE CAN PRETEND, where springy percussion and simple, yet masterfully sequenced synths prepare the runway lights for KIMI RECOR's sweeping voice. It's a timeless cut overflowing with classic pop appeal - and as such one of the most accomplished songs in JOHN TEJADA's armoury. He follows the opener's catchy bliss with NOW WE'RE HERE, a direct sequel to outstanding spoken word cracker SOMEWHERE. That same urge for an assessment can be found on this one, accurately portrayed by crackling diatribes from MORGAN ALEXANDER and embedded in deliciously pumping beats.

John Tejada - We Can Pretend

Energy 52's Café Del Mar is one of the most iconic tracks in dance music. Released in 1993, this instrumental trance anthem was named after the famous beach bar on the Balearic island, becoming synonymous with the euphoric, sun-soaked vibe of Ibiza's dance culture. Crafted by German DJs Kid Paul and Cosmic Baby, the track's mesmerizing melodies and uplifting harmonies encapsulate the quintessential sunset moment, making it a staple in the sets of DJs worldwide.

Its enduring appeal is reflected in its impressive chart performance and numerous re-releases and remixes by leading artists, ensuring its presence in dance music culture across decades. Over the years, Café Del Mar has achieved legendary status, regularly featuring in lists of the greatest dance tracks of all time. Notably, it was voted No. 1 in Mixmag's 2001 list of the "Top 100 Tunes of All Time," highlighting its almost unparalleled impact on the dance music landscape. To put it simply, Café Del Mar is a cultural phenomenon, encapsulating the spirit of an era and influencing generations of artists and fans alike.

Now this iconic track is being remixed by two of the most revered acts in electronic music, Orbital and Michael Mayer.

A key figure in Cologne's electronic scene, Michael Mayer co-founded the influential Kompakt label, contributing significantly to its direction and success. His discography includes seminal albums such as "Neuhouse" (1998), "Immer" (2002), and more recent works like "Higher" (2020) and "Connecting the Dots" (2021). Known for his meticulous remixes and collaborations with artists like Superpitcher and Kölsch, Mayer's work spans genres, touching on microhouse, experimental, and ambient techno. Beyond producing, Mayer's mix CDs, including contributions to the Fabric and DJ-Kicks series, highlight his broad musical taste and ability to curate pioneering sounds.

For his interpretation, Mayer leans into head spinning, hypnotic rhythms, with tribal drums and the patiently evolving lead line building towards a climax that is more subtle but no less effective. A near-perfect sunrise track for the payoff to all-night, al fresco summer raves.
