Belgium’s Peter Van Hoesen lands on Reclaim Your City for ‘Prime Directive’, Van Hoesen’s first solo release since 2023 and the successor to his 2024 album, ‘Towards the Center of Time and Surrounded by Spirits’.

Peter Van Hoesen’s ‘Prime Directive’ starts with ‘Definition by Absence’, a furnace-hot mix of abstract, hi-octane rhythm. The track begins a trip that takes us through undulating, fiery synthlines whose patterns coalesce and move in and out of synchronicity. ‘Variables Edit 1’ is next, whirling and swirling like a menacing swarm, its machine-like drums set against stellar winds.

On the B-side, the title track of Peter Van Hoesen’s ‘Prime Directive’ evokes pure dancefloor dystopia. It’s arrhythmic, dark, and teeming with monsters and molten clocks, culminating in a surreal track with metronome-like sound keeping pace. Closing ‘Prime Directive’, Van Hoesen’s innate feel for tweaky sounds over relentless drum-funk remains apparent in ‘Morphology’. Here, fearless robotic creatures communicate through unidentifiable signals and enthral the listener. With ‘Prime Directive’ on the Dutch Reclaim Your City, Van Hoesen continues to push the boundaries of contemporary Techno through cutting-edge experimentalism.

Time To Express and Center 91 label boss Peter Van Hoesen's take on visceral techno has found a home on labels like Tresor, Editions Mego, Archives Intérieures, Konstrukt and Stroboscopic Artefact. The Belgian artist, now based out of Vietnam, operates exclusively as a live act and is also known for his collaborations with AtomTM as SYNC and as Sendai with Yves De Mey.

*This new four-track epic from Peter van Hoesen comes draped in a fine piece of artwork courtesy of Atact and pressed according to our standards in 180g audiophile quality, so you get to experience the Belgian master's chiselled sound design in all its glory.
