i was just a boy when we first met
i guess i still am
thinking about the men you had before me
i'm selfish, can't help it
i love you so much

"Expect the unexpected," they say, and it should come as a surprise to many as we warmly welcome to the Kompakt family one of America's most celebrated producers in dance music, John Tejada! Born in Austria, he relocated to his current home of Los Angeles at the age of 8 and, following a brief career in hip-hop, found his home in electronic music. If you're even the slightest fan of the genre, you'll be hard-pressed not to have heard his music over his decade+-long career. Whether on his own Palette Recordings, Poker Flat, or Plug Research — plus a Fabric Mix CD under his belt, it's thanks to a steady stream of massive releases (think "Mono On Mono" and "Sweat On The Walls") that he remains a mainstay in the charts of Beatport and uncountable DJs. He is also half of the long-standing City Centre Offices act, I'm Not A Gun (together with Takeshi Nishimoto). "I wanted to experiment with some longer phrases again and to step away from the analog sequencers more and get back to using my hands to create the melodies. I also feel for the first time in quite a while I've made an album of songs for myself without worrying about the usual pressures." – John Tejada Kompakt presents his extraordinary new album "Parabolas". Resident Advisor called Tejada "one of the most notoriously meticulous producers around" — an unmistakable proof lies within these recordings. Genres collide and combine with an unraveling of blissful layers on "Parabolas". The opening track, "Farther &amp; Fainter," offers a musicality today's techno and house often lack — an accomplishment that resonates throughout the album. Tracks such as "Subdivided" and "Unstable Condition" reflect the wondrousness of Aphex Twin's Polygon Window project, something that could only be reanimated and brought to 2011's standards by Tejada. "Parabolas" is a true highlight in John Tejada's deep catalogue. Bold words indeed for a producer who is known for unexpected variation and tremendous musical imagination.

Dear dancers,

Ramona is proud to present Fort Romeau's second installment for her Live at Robert Johnson audio enterprise. His take on neo-dance, post-disco and proto-house is as unmistakable as it is dreamlike. Ramona is still in love.

Stay gold, 
Ramona

Mood Hut’s CZ Wang and Neo Image officially release MH006, a 12-inch that features their long-leaked and celebrated west coast party starter Just Off Wave. Originally recorded in 2014, these tracks sat on ice until they finally passed Claudio’s Cadillac-test™.

Side A’s Just Off Wave throws back to a pioneering moment of Pacific Northwest hip-hop mysticism. It first gained sneaky notoriety as a favourite of local DJs, eventually making it around the world thanks to some—in classic Mood Hut fashion—misplaced CDRs. The track is blessed with the hypnotiq call-and-response vocals of the low-key but legendary Separated At Birth crew —an alias of two Canadian rappers born on the same day. Contract restrictions prohibit us from revealing any more. 

Side B features Open Mic Beat, an ecstatic DJ tool centred around an improvised drum machine traffic jam. This tune got its legs at early Mood Hut parties where it became a natural prompt, encouraging microphone-grabbing party guests to step up and freestyle.
