Placid Angles (John Beltran) + Diamin

The work of US composer, producer and DJ John Beltran spans more than three decades. With an unmistakable melodic and cinematic sensibility, he has shaped ambient, techno, balearic and world music-influenced soundscapes. Under the alias Placid Angles, Beltran is dedicated to a more introspective, often beatless sonic language with a focus on texture, space and emotional resonance, informed by influences from new age, classical and experimental electronics. Born in Chile and based in Berlin, Diamin is a DJ, record collector and environmental scientist. Her sets are fed by rarely played vinyl finds from Latin American archives as well as European stockpiles. Diamin understands music as something organic and communal—a kind of world-building in real time, in which every record is used with curiosity and care on the dancefloor as well as on the radio.
