Peter Van Hoesen returns to his beloved Time To Express label after a consistent string of releases on Center 91 in 2020. ‘Echoes from Westbrook Bay’ is a six-track EP, showcasing the Belgian producer’s personal take on immersive techno.
The EP contains six tracks, focusing on Van Hoesen’s detailed, narrative sound. They share his trademark intricate sound design, directing the listener’s attention towards multiple layers and events within each composition.
The main body of the EP is focused around four brand new techno tracks, ranging from the light-footed, melodic ‘Allocators’ to the muscular vibes of closing track ‘Block by Block’. ‘Waving not Drowning’ continues to explore Van Hoesen’s breakbeat-oriented output on Batu’s Timedance imprint. It’s an abstract drum’n’bass roller recorded live in one take, combining a tight rhythmic framework with wide, modulated synth sounds. No drops here, it’s all about tension and anticipation.
‘Echoes from Westbrook Bay’ adds another highlight to Van Hoesen’s extensive output on Time To Express.
