SONG OF THE DAY: Peter Van Hoesen - Dystopian Romance (2010)


Belgian producer Peter Van Hoesen slowed things down a bit for his 2010 album "Entropic City", a magnum opus which followed the string of well-received EPs and 12" singles that had already earned the techno artist a lot of attention.  This album takes you places, and as Resident Advisor points out, the techno genre has always lent itself to the shorter 12" format, and not since Shed's 2008 masterpiece "Shedding the Past" has a full-length techno album been so immersive.  "Dystopian Romance" is one of the more conspicuous tracks, one that stands out as energetic amidst the album's more subtle moments of minimal and dub techno.
