PLACID ANGLES — Canada (lp 2x12")

With over 20 albums under his belt, John Beltran returns to his much-loved Placid Angles project with one of his strongest albums to date. Years of experience have brought a deep focus and awareness of textures, space and emotion that reveal a producer at the top of his game.From the sound of slowly moving mountains that is the title track "Canada" to the breakbeat-laden "Hero BK" and collaborations with Sophia Stel, Tom VR, and Yussh, it's easy to hear why this album is special.Beltran notes, "Everything from the scenery to the people just made sense, so I decided to dedicate this record to them and that beautiful country." He adds, "I think you'll hear a little bit of all of the Placid records in this one. I encapsulated what the project has always been and will continue to be moving forward."On "Canada", the past is present in a joyous way, a record full of emotion and ambience connecting nostalgia with the now."That's what Placid Angles is," Beltran says. "A peek back into that wonderful era of music."HouseTechBreaksTechnoIdmBeatsAmbientPopSynth-PopElectronica
