SYNC. (Peter Van Hoesen & Atom TM) At Technoon, Brussels

Peter Van Hoe­sen is an artist who is always look­ing to refine his craft, broad­en his hori­zons and explore new cre­ative avenues. Aside from launch­ing his new label this year, Cen­ter 91 — see here, Peter also formed SYNC. along­side Ger­man elec­tron­ic musi­cian Atom TM. The project focus­es on extend­ed hybrid sets where the duo walk the line between Dj’ing and per­form­ing live.

SYNC. was pre­sent­ed at some of Europe’s finest club­bing insti­tutes in June of this year. After tick­ing off The Pick­le Fac­to­ry, Con­crete and Berghain the duo had a pin­na­cle per­for­mance left at Tech­noon in Brus­sels. Here, they locked horns for a 6‑hour marathon set which took many dif­fer­ent turns and shifts in ener­gy. While they offered a lot of peak time mad­ness, which Peter Van Hoe­sen and Atom TM are so well-rehearsed in, the pair still sup­plied dif­fer­ent vibran­cies with melod­ic breaks and cin­e­mat­ic tex­tures. The jour­ney slow­ly unfolds, com­menc­ing with invit­ing and seduc­tive rhythms that in time inten­si­fy into flat out dance­floor mania. Peter had the fol­low­ing words about the performance…

“I would like to ded­i­cate this record­ing to every­one in the Tech­noon crew, an incred­i­ble group of friends with clear ded­i­ca­tion and amaz­ing exe­cu­tion towards an idea which turned to be one of the secret jew­els in the tech­no music land­scape. With you forever.”
