Placid Angles

Placid Angles is the alias of John Beltran, a talented electronic music producer hailing from Lansing, Michigan. Known for his dreamy, ambient-infused techno and IDM vibes, Beltran has been crafting atmospheric soundscapes since the early '90s, with Placid Angles serving as one of his key creative outlets. Under this moniker, he's dropped gems like the 1997 album "The Cry" on Peacefrog Records and more recent works such as "Touch The Earth" in 2021 on AD93, blending lush melodies with subtle rhythms that feel both nostalgic and forward-thinking.

Over the years, Placid Angles has become synonymous with Beltran's exploratory side, remixing tracks and collaborating in ways that push electronic music boundaries. If you're into chill, introspective beats that evoke wide-open spaces or late-night drives, his discography—including releases like "Cold Sun" and various remixes—is a perfect entry point into his world.
