The source of this 56 minute excerpt is the recording of my last extended dj set. It was performed on June 23 2023 at Badaboum in Paris. 

The show at Badaboum marked the end of a long series of all-night long sets which I have been performing over many years. As I have focused all my attention on playing live I consider this event and its recording as the last statement in my dj life. A closing chapter, so to speak.

The full recording is 7 hours long and can be downloaded in its entirety via my Patreon page on https://www.patreon.com/posts/85511792

It was posted in two parts on Patreon in June and July 2023. The second post also features a download link to the full recording.

As this set was my last extended dj set it features a mix of new material and personal favourites which I have enjoyed playing over the past years. This set was a long, intense ride into my music collection. I was fortunate enough to have a supportive crowd which was up for joining me for seven hours straight. It was a fitting way to close off a big part of my musical life. I would like to thank everyone who has come out to hear me dj in the last twenty years or more - your presence and support remains essential. In the future I hope to see you at one of my upcoming live shows. The journey of expression continues, taking a different shape, searching for new forms.

Peter Van Hoesen DJ set at Badaboum Paris - Excerpt

In this difficult time, we need to reach out for goodness and justice. Only love, kindness and help to one's neighbor will save this world, and persistent work will break the cast-iron shackles, the guilty will be punished.

Stepping up with the hypnotic, heavy-duty wares all set at knocking your senses askew, Belgian producer Peter Van Hoesen lands us a monster of a live set. Responsible for some seriously mind-expanding sorties on the likes of Tresor, Vlek and his self-operated outlets Time To Express & Center 91 over the past 15 years, Van Hoesen has established himself as one of the scene’s driving forces when it comes to integrating these cinematic ambiences into an effervescing mesh of pulsating 4x4 rhythms and a millefeuille of layered envelopes acting like quicksands. Recorded on the occasion of his latest live performance at Tresor Berlin on May 10, this particular live harnesses that deep-diving energy elemental to Van Hoesen’s intricate engineering of hi-velocity dynamics and rippling dub interplays, ushering us headlong into a bright, merciless furnace of sound. Checkmate.

STM 109 - Sendai

Continuing his exploration of intricate techno systems, their effect and direct perimeter of action, Peter Van Hoesen turns in his newest four-track piece, ‘Prime Directive’: a fascinating dive into the artist’s shape-shifting headspace and inner creative chaos.

Fuelled on a furnace-hot mix of abstract-leaning immersion and hi-octane rhythmic thrust, ‘Prime Directive’ looks at contemporary techno from the angle of experimentation and intuitive abandon. The result comes in the form of four distinct movements, each carving out their own logic and associated behaviour out an endless pool of potentialities. Here comes chaology unfolding in all its unadulterated, visceral glory.

‘Definition by Absence’ breaks the trip in to the sound of a faux-random symphony: its train-like swing and fiery bass seesaw coalesce through an elliptic fluttering of sorts, iterative and not, patterns moving in and out of synchronicity as Van Hoesen applies more or less pressure on both ends. All in gusty in-your-face-ness, ‘Variables Edit 1’ whirls and swirls like an ominous vengeance of nature; Its puncturing kicks and whistling menace set against stellar winds and rabid machinery on the prowl for its next victim.

An even more unsettling piece of disjointedly arrhythmic, anti-club music for the dance floor, ‘Prime Directive’ will have you zoning out like a bad dream, flush with metronome-faced monsters and molten clocks hanging from dead trees. ‘Morphology’ could be PVH’s attempt at giving his concepts a carnal carcass to hold onto. Here, rhythm becomes somewhat less erratic, offering his 360-degree vision more melodic surface and actual room for dispersion. One to keep the boundaries pushed and status-quo challenged, this is techno at its most entrancingly bold and fearless.

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

RYCL023 - Peter Van Hoesen - Definition by Absence

Digital: https://reclaimyourcity.bandcamp.com/
Vinyl: https://clone.nl/item78768.html

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 Atom™ 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. 
Peter Van Hoesen ‘Prime Directive’ lands on Reclaim Your City 14th April

It took me a while to start writing electronic music. It all started back in hairy 2004, when my friend and I were recording a guitar on a cassette recorder and singing all sorts of nonsense. I began to realize that I feel music and rhythm well, and closer to 2005 we created a team where I worked exclusively on vocals. At the same time, I started getting interested in Chemical Brothers and Prodigy, and I was thinking that it would be great to incorporate electronics into our songs. Soon the band fell apart, and I decided to pursue electronic music, bought a piano tutorial, a MIDI keyboard, connected it via the MIDI interface to the FL 5, delved into the sequencer, and began writing tracks.....
....
Now, having more than thirty years of my life behind me, despite my constant work, I continued to do what I always did, I additionally fell in love with techno and its music, and I have accumulated a decent vinyl collection (about 500 records) in this style. Accordingly, more mixes began to appear. Listen to TECHNOPUZZLE and my new tracks.
