Oath

Full Campaign Report : Canada by Placid Angles / John Beltran.

Pitchfork : “The Ann Arbor producer dusts off an alias he used on a 1996 ambient-techno classic and gives his jazzy, atmospheric dance music a jolt of fresh energy”

Herb Sundays : “The oeuvre of John Beltran is miles wide, though he takes up precious little space on the usual lists or amongst the Techno gossip mill. Or, better put by Shawn Reynaldo: “The history of Midwestern dance music is littered with unheralded figures and under-celebrated heroes, and while John Beltran hasn’t exactly toiled in obscurity during the past 30 years, it does seem bizarre that his music continues to be something of a niche concern.”

Tone Glow : “Beltran might be one of Michigan’s most overlooked producers, but Canada is another essential entry in his archive.“

Ban Ban Ton Ton : “John Beltran’s latest long-player as Placid Angles was promo’d last year with the title track Canada. This seemed to be a very respectful nod toward 90s “ambient” Aphex Twin, and in the press release Beltran stated that the album was intentionally a nostalgic “peak” into his own pioneering back catalogue, and those of his contemporaries. This statement is borne out by the rest of the record.”
