I didn't notice until I started trawling Bandcamp for Tejada that he has an
album out this year.

>From the title it makes me think this is his pandemic album.  It definitely
has more 'home listening' style tracks, like "Eidolon" which stitches
together a dizzyingly varied set of electronic sounds.  The beat is closer
to hip hop or dubstep than techno, but the groove is so sharp it draws
blood. "Spectral Progressions" has a similar feel half-stepper feel..
People on the IDM list would have lost their minds over this in the 1990s.

"Abbot of Burton" sounds superficially like techno but things get really
wonky. I love the low-fi drum break sample that comes in on the turnaround
precisely once.  "Panacea" is a classic Tejada techno track with a jigsaw
groove. "Anchorites" closes out with a two-step beat and a haze of synth
chord filthy with digital aliasing.
