Mark Van Hoen at The Vinyl District

Electronic music is often judged on the breakthroughs reliably brought to the turntable by fresh voices. Although focusing on newcomers is surely understandable, the worthwhile contributions of veterans shouldn’t be misplaced, and the latest release from UK born and current Los Angelino Mark Van Hoen is an excellent example. Nightvision finds the longstanding solo artist… Continue reading Mark Van Hoen at The Vinyl District

Remember several weeks ago, when we (the media) alerted you (the consumer) to the fact that chill electro/drone mastermind Mark Van Hoenwould be releasing a new album of trippy, soft-neon, late-nite-snackage calledNightvision on November 13?

The new song from this L.A.-based artist is almost perfectly prepped for the less intense moments of ‘80s horror movies. The track is perfect for the lead up to Halloween—the electronic landscape only permeated… Continue reading Mark Van Hoen at Magnet

The way Nightvision (Saint Marie) begins, one would expect for the electronic music of Mark Van Hoen to be on the past of electronic music from the 1970’s and early 80’s, where it may appear to fans of elegant soundtracks. It’s relaxing. WHen it gets to song #2 (“Froese Requiem I”), the sound of sampled… Continue reading Mark Van Hoen at This is Books Music
