Coming from ': ,: different worlds, but sharing a passion for the rich history of :, : electronic music, beat-boxer/comedian/musician Watts and : :' electronic music artist/DJ/producer Tejada bring out the best ': ,: in each otherÆs formidable skill sets. Where the duoÆs debut :, : album ôCasual High Technologyö hinted at the broad stylistic : :' possibilities inherent in the marriage of WattsÆ elastic, ': ,: soul-stirring vocals and TejadaÆs layered, melodically inventive :, : productions, ôDonÆt Let Get You Downö makes good on that : :' promise. ': ,: :, : The first single from new 11-song LP, released today, is the : :' infectious title track. With its brightly pulsing synths and ': ,: whistling hook, æDonÆt Let Get You DownÆ is, in the words of :, : Reggie Watts, ôthe poppiest song weÆve ever done.ö : :' ': ,: Wajatta (pronounced wa-HA-ta) is a mash-up of the artistsÆ last :, : names. Having grown up with similar musical influences, : :' Austrian-born Tejada and German-born Watts draw from their love ': ,: of electronic music. Exploring the intersection between :, : influences and innovation, the two describe Wajatta's music as : :' ôelectronic dance music with its roots in Detroit techno, ': ,: Chicago house, '70s funk and New York hip hop.ö ItÆs a sound :, : that is both familiar and wholly original ù and, like all great : :' dance music, ultimately life-affirming, as Watts vocalizes, ': ,: sometimes without words, the joyful energy of his and TejadaÆs :, : funky, shape-shifting productions. ôThatÆs the great thing about : :' working with John,ö Watts says with an infectious grin. ôHeÆs ': ,: so steeped in the history of this music. I just pick up on that :, : and run with it.ö : :' ': ,: Wajatta builds most tracks from scratch, bouncing ideas off one :, : another from initial spark to finished product. ItÆs all done : :' face-to-face: ôWe never just share files,ö Tejada notes. They ': ,: also try to keep their sessions as spontaneous as possible, in a :, : never-ending quest to, as Watts puts it, ôcapture the : :' freshness.ö As a result, the 11 tracks on ôDonÆt Let Get You ': ,: Downö crackle with the energy of fresh ideas captured at the :, : moment of inspiration. ItÆs electronic music made organically, : :' from two masters at the top of their respective games. ': ,: :, : Their organic approach extends to their live shows, at which : :' Tejada rebuilds the duoÆs tracks on his samplers and synths, ': ,: while the multi-octave Watts conjures vocal symphonies out of :, : little more than a loop station and a delay pedal. TheyÆve : :' performed at Movement in Detroit, MUTEK in Montreal, CRSSD ': ,: Festival in San Diego, two Dirtybird shows (BBQ in 2018 and :, : Campout in 2019), in addition to a live studio session for : :' KCRWÆs Morning Becomes Eclectic. The duoÆs live energy is ': ,: captured on the final track of the album æAll I Need Is YouÆ, a :, : fully improvised song that was part of a spontaneously created : :' 90-minute performance for Club Something at The Sweat Spot, an ': ,: L.A. dance studio run by choreographer Ryan Heffington. ItÆs a :, : six-minute snapshot of the improvisational brilliance that lies : :' at the heart of everything Wajatta does ù an approach summed up ': ,: in WattsÆ off-the-cuff one-liner near the trackÆs end: ôWeÆre :, : making everything here for you from scratch ù just to ensure : :' maximum freshness.ö ': : ' '.. ..' .. . :........... . . . . ............: . . ______________ ______________ \ / \ / \ / Shout out to all our homies from: \ / \ / \ / \ / iPC BOSS HiT2000 1way UKi i8 RNS \ / \ / RAGEMP3 MANDY DV8 pLAN9 BUTT \ / \ / \ / \/ ____ ____ \/ \ / F A N G \ / \/ 2 0 2 0 \/
