Behind the Techno (Raw / Deep / Hypnotic) : Release Notes

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 artists 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 PVHs 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.
