There are perhaps no better ears for melody in the Detroit techno canon than those belonging to John Beltran. Born just outside the city in nearby Lansing, Michigan, Beltran cut his teeth in the early '90s, releasing on a who's who of impressive '90s dance music stables like R&S, and Damon Booker's shortlived Sinewave Records. 

Beltran's typical sound floats somewhere above the robotic groove of Detroit. The mechanic pulse of drum machines are subdued or forgone entirely in favour of delicate and complex rolling melodies, edging towards new age music in moments - it's no surprise - Beltran is an avid fan of the genre. 

Two hours of placid angles from Detroit's master of melody - selected by NTS.

In a [2011 New York Times article](https://www.nytimes.com/2011/10/23/magazine/the-fierce-imagination-of-haruki-murakami.html?pagewanted=5&ref=baseball), Murakami estimated that he owns 10,000 records, but was too afraid to count. Music is elemental to the atmosphere of the stories he creates, his works filled with quotations, references and inspiration from the music world; even entire novels are structured around musical pieces, as with 1Q84. 

In this Guide, NTS collects just a few of Murakami's classical references found in his novels.

Birthed in the playful amateur experimentalism of New York's 1970s no wave scene, Sonic Youth are potentially the definitive American rock band of the post-punk era. From the creative blossoming of EVOL, to their mammoth art rock masterpiece of "Day Dream Nation" to the surprising commercial victory of "Goo", the band continuously bucked convention, and remained in flux creatively up until their unofficial ceasing in 2011.
