Buy here : https://phutureshockmusik.bandcamp.com/album/coquito Taking charge of the first solo release of 2026 on Phuture Shock Musik is iconic Detroit producer John Beltran, serving up an exquisite double shot of summery, percussion-laced jams entitled - ‘Coquito’ b/w ‘Piragua’ - both of which are rooted in deep house, Afro-Latin and hip hop influences. Having risen to prominence back in the early 90’s with his debut release (‘Aquatic’) on Carl Craig’s seminal Retroactive imprint, Beltran has spent the last thirty-plus years, via multiple guises, crafting and exploring everything from techno, ambient and IDM to D&B, Latin jazz fusion and balearic downtempo. Noted for his melodic and emotive-rich signature style, his prolific and incredibly diverse output remains to be of a consistent quality, and has featured among the esteemed catalogues of Delsin, Peacefrog, R&S, Ubiquity, and Good Looking records, to name just a few. Here the Michigan native shores up on Phuture Shock, helming the eleventh missive in the Bristol label’s ‘DUBZ’ series, with two masterfully-crafted productions that exemplify his highly versatile approach to creativity. Leaning towards familiar Balearic territory and sun-splashed with global influences, Beltran’s latest effort is built for dancefloor settings and headphone listening alike, whilst also keeping with the genre-bending spirit of both artist and label. Side A of the record hosts the cowbell-laden rhythms of ‘Coquito’, a breezy slab of Detroit house beaming with soulful warmth and feel-good vibes; combining flickering keys, dubby low end and warm lingering synths, over lively percussive patterns and 4/4 kicks with a carefree bop that’ll transport you straight to the balmy heights of summer. On the flipside is the summer night bliss of ‘Piragua’, an altogether downtempo affair with a sprinkling of Afro-Latin meets West coast flavours, where samba-tinged percussion shuffles beside low-slung hip hop beats, complete with jazzy piano chords, emotive strings and atmospheric ocean waves, evoking a smooth mix of Brazilian saudade feels, balearic relaxation and Motor City swagger.
