• Peter Van Hoesen - RA Podcast 168 • 17 Aug 2009

Brussels in the house! Belgian techno man Peter Van Hoesen mixes it up on this week's RA podcast.



Buzzing, blurting and bleeping techno. It's what makes the world go round for Peter Van Hoesen. The Brussels-based DJ/producer has been listening to the stuff for years in the city, in and among stints as the bass player for a band and a fan of the New Beat records that defined the city's clubbing landscapes in the late '80s and early '90s. Van Hoesen takes influence from those experiences, as well as his current work as a sound design for theater, and plugs into his passion for techno and has come away with some of the most vital work in the genre over the past few years.

Eschewing the minimal sound for something a bit funkier, and a bit closer to what he calls "mental body music," Van Hoesen's tunes have seen the light of day on his Time To Express imprint, Berlin's Lan Muzic, Morse and Komisch. We have no doubt there'll be plenty more to add to that list in the future—if Van Hoesen wants it to be so. But today we're more interested in his DJing. PVH has put together a podcast for RA which is a perfectly example of his ethos behind the decks, pushing the BPMs faster and faster as the mix goes along, leading up to a sublime climax and denouement.
