John Tejada & Josh Humphrey  - Marooned

Palette's newest collaboration between John Tejada and Josh Humphrey. The trio of songs reveal three sides to the duos' work. The title track, ''Marooned,'' joins Humphrey's modular synth work with Tejada's beats and soothing pads, the result being a slice of beat-driven melodic techno created in a city where such sounds are rarely heard. ''Melodiac'' continues from there with a lighter mood, with Humphrey's modular melodies and Tejada's signature stabs and rhythms. Rounding out the three is ''Concrete Safari,'' which largely focuses on Humphrey's modular fm synth work that slowly evolves into a cluster of tribal sounds, modular birds and grainy goodness. Nice mixture between modern forward thinking techno and electro.
