Tadeo joins Jon Hester on Participation 003 for a propulsive launch into sci-fi sonics. ‘Cycling Taps’ kicks things off with fast-paced, shimmering mechanical textures, punctuated by insistent percussive hits that ricochet through space. Swirling pads, marching snares, and whooshing builds elevate into climactic moments. Up next is ‘Matching Claps’, a driving groove leading the way into rushing clap sequences that will drive dancefloors into a heady frenzy.
Midwest American Jon Hester started his Participation label for solo work and collaborations with fellow underground talents. His own works have been released on the likes of Rekids, Klockworks, and Tresor, to name a few, establishing his signature sound with warmth, groove, and soul. Tadeo has crafted an arc of quality over an impressive range of forward-leaning cosmic techno. Making a name for himself in Madrid, he has founded and developed several labels (Cyclical Tracks, NET28, Another Intelligence, Madrid Techno), and was called upon by Jeff Mills to contribute early installments of the iconic Escape Velocity series.
