Belgian producer Peter Van Hoesen heads up the latest installment of Mariana (see: Mariana Trench) as the long-running techno event moves to house temple Eleven. Created by onetime Tokyo resident, UK producer and promoter Dave Twomey, aka Tr nch, Mariana celebrates its fourth birthday and the debut of Twomey’s new label of the same name. Known for techno at once deep and spacy but bright and uplifting, Van Hoesen is a hot draw with Japan’s minimal crowd. His latest long-player is last fall’s well-received Perceiver.
