CD, Album

Detroit composer John Beltran returns to Delsin with The Season Series. A collection of subtle and colorful compositions of beautiful synth melodies creating heavenly atmospheres. A blissful walk through breezy spring fields where the gentle sunrays thaw frosty winter scenes.

John Beltran continues his relationship with Delsin Records with the release of a new ambient album, Espais in summer 2015. Beltran has long been a master of his art, turning out seminal LPs and EPs on labels like Peacefrog, Millions of Moments and Text Records. Back in 2013 he released the well received Amazing Things following a wide ranging compilation on the label, and in the near future he is to release another full length project, but first comes this. Espais is an absorbing soundtrack featuring 17 pieces of immersive, sonically lush and rich music. As he has throughout his career, Beltran makes use of modern techniques and classical composition to craft a wide range of blissfully soul soothing moods and supple, subtle grooves. Tracks like ‘Espais’ are uplifting and heavenly with their sombre chords, ‘Přestávka’ is angelic and crystal clear, where ‘Ruimten’ is rather more meaning and forbidding. Its textures are frazzled and almost industrial. Elsewhere efforts like ‘Dream Tangle’ blend synthetic machine made sounds with more organic strings and the results are truly moving throughout. Unfolding like a proper journey with a carefully threaded narrative, this album is yet another testament to Beltran’s ability to sculpt sound in intricate and compelling ways Record Label: Delsin Records Style: Ambient

John Beltran will release his ninth solo album, Amazing Things, in March on Dutch imprint Delsin. The album comes two years after Delsin compiled Ambient Selections, a career-spanning retrospective of Beltran's experimental work. Amazing Things will consist of all new material, making it his first new album since 2006's Human Engine. The Michigan producer is best known for his extensive '90s output on labels like R&S, Peacefrog and Carl Craig's Retroactive (in recent times he's also developed a new sideline writing "all kinds of house" music for the Oprah Winfrey show). "There was no real plan [for Amazing Things]," Beltran says. "Some of these songs are over two years old. This album is truly an accumulation of music inspired by my life as a new father but I didn't write these songs for an album per se. I guess it was just written with a lot of love." He added: "I'm using all new gear and virtual synths that I didn't have when writing Human Engine so it sounds different for sure. And let's just say that this album still wouldn't be finished had a friend not turned me on to the software Omnisphere." Record Label: Rush Hour (Consignment) Style: Electronic
