Los Angeles DJ and producer Tejada (born in Vienna, Austria on April 21, 1974) has been releasing techno since the early '90s, often finding himself lumped alongside Detroit techno maverick Matthew Dear. These days, expanding on his formidable resume, Tejada creates ethereal electronic jangle and harmonies (think Depeche Mode dream pop and the classic songwriting of Johnny Marr) that complement each other and offer a good reason for living. California-based John Tejada is easily one of the most productive DJ/producers in modern dance music.
