A Swing Is Not A Throw, released on Time To Express, is Peter Van Hoe­sen​’s lat­est EP. The five track release is the indi­rect result of his deci­sion in 2022 to ful­ly focus on live shows. This shift allowed him to cre­ate hours of new mate­r­i­al, which he lat­er refined and shaped into mod­u­lar build­ing blocks. These musi­cal com­po­nents were designed to be com­bined in var­i­ous ways, allow­ing for real-time exper­i­men­ta­tion dur­ing his shows. Fol­low­ing his shows, he began the process of analy­sis. Where­upon he would take notes on suc­cess­es and decide how to enhance the over­all sound. What we know now as A Swing Is Not A Throw is the result of six months of live mate­r­i­al, trans­formed into com­plete tracks.

Oscar’s Blood is Peter Van Hoesen’s tenth solo EP for his own Time To Express label. It features four new tracks, composed and refined in the producer’s Berlin studio and properly tested during several shows in late 2016 and early 2017. Both Oscar’s Blood and Circumference 12 feature Van Hoesen’s take on driving and hypnotic techno. He applies a different approach to Unit Prep and Theoretical Terminal. Both compositions take their cue from subtle yet vibrant percussive patterns, extending into blissful atmospheres.

The last instalment of the ‘Stealth’ vinyls focuses on the productions of the Time To Express founder. Reflecting the themes of the series, Van Hoesen offers his own vision of hypnotic techno on ‘Shadows & Concern’, a powerful and expansive piece. The series is completed in appropriate fashion with ‘Unicorn’, an emotive track that displays Van Hoesen’s more melodic side.

The Call & Response EP features five brand new tracks forged in Van Hoesen’s Berlin studio during June and July 2014. It marks a further development of the Belgian producer’s sound, combining solid dancefloor material with highly personal leftfield techno.
