PLAYTOWN #002
Playtown is a house music concept by Confluencia, bringing together Berlin’s local scene with artists and sounds from other places.
For our second edition, we return to Crack Bellmer on October 23rd with a lineup that connects different sides of the house community.
Representing Berlin, Kat_es, from the 925 collective, joins Mati Amoretti B2B Club Suave, bringing the sound and energy of the Confluencia community.
From Argentina, Franco Strato, Agustin Barbei and Don Bellanton bring three different perspectives shaped by the Argentine house scene and their experiences across Berlin and Ibiza. Franco has been part of Berlin’s scene for several years, Agustin makes his Berlin debut, and Don joins us from Ibiza, where he has been part of the island’s summer circuit while remaining a strong presence in Argentina.
The idea behind Playtown is simple: to create a space around house music where different scenes can meet, new artists can be discovered and people can come together.
But Playtown is also about everything that happens around the music. Expect games, surprises, good energy and a playful atmosphere at Crack Bellmer.
House music, new connections and a night made to be enjoyed.

their own biography
the whole biography
Argentinian DJ and producer currently based in Ibiza, Julián Bellanton moves between the energy of House and the textures of Minimal, blending driving grooves, organic rhythms and an open-minded approach to underground electronic music. Rather than limiting himself to a single genre, he builds dynamic sets that draw from different influences within his sonic universe, always keeping groove at the center of the experience. His approach combines musical selection, crowd reading and creative mixing, allowing him to adapt to different moments while maintaining a clear artistic identity. Known for his ability to connect with the dancefloor, Bellanton views DJing as a constant exchange of energy. His sets evolve naturally through moments of tension, depth and release, creating engaging journeys that keep the crowd connected from start to finish. His musical identity was shaped through years of residency work in Mar del Plata, Argentina, where he developed the MUB concept and gained extensive experience performing for diverse audiences, refining a versatile and personal vision of electronic music. Now active between Ibiza and mainland Europe, he continues to expand his presence with appearances at venues such as Playa Soleil and Les Enfants (Barcelona), while steadily developing his work as a producer through releases on labels including Delik Music, Restless and other like-minded imprints. Driven by groove, energy and creative freedom, Julián Bellanton continues to shape a distinctive voice within the contemporary underground electronic scene.
