John Tejada - Fabric 44

For his Fabric release, John Tejada leaves his mark indelibly on his selections, carefully and discreetly editing his way through tracks by artists such as Substance (as remixed by Shed), Donnacha Costello, Pigon, and LJ Kruzer, while throwing in a healthy supply of his own productions, both solo and in conjunction with long-term collaborators Arian Leviste and Justin Maxwell. The entire mix seems to uphold a peculiarly high standard of production, with insightful picks like 'Equalized001' by Eq'd revealing a discerning ear. The fact that Tejada's been so thorough in his sequencing and mixing really shines through too, and the whole playlist presents the aesthetic of a single, overarching narrative seamlessly evolving through the likes of Namlook's 'Subharmonic Atoms' and Donnacha Costello's 'Colourseries Olive B', segueing into the low-frequency robustness of WAX's 'WAX10001'. Tejada himself has billed the mix as being akin to an "electronic symphony", and as potentially daft sounding as that is, there's a defined sense of continuity and organisational meticulousness evident throughout.
