LOCAL SPOTLIGHT NYC
Mark Van Hoen has been an integral part of the electro-indie music scene since the early 90s. As a founding member of the British experimental group Seefeel, his influence can be seen in the work of both electronic and guitar-based artists. Originally based in London, he signed to Belgian label R&S in 1993 and began putting out albums under the pseudonym “Locust,” including his much celebrated debut, Weathered Well, in ’94. The acclaim he received landed him slots on the major live show circuit, playing Sonar in Barcelona and Britronica, a festival that toured Europe and featured groundbreaking acts like Aphex Twin and Autechre. Four years later, he joined Massive Attack as the opening act on their European tour, a gig that put Van Hoen in front of thousands every night.
Van Hoen sound remained distinctively tape-machine and synth-driven throughout the 80s and early 90s, until the digital transfer in the mid-90s. As his techniques altered, so did his sound, maturing from early explorations into drone/noise to later fully orchestrated vocal albums. As he honed his own sound, he also kept busy with work in sound engineering and radio. He built up an impressive resume as producer for groups like Mojave 3 and Sing-Sing at the end of the 90s.
Van Hoen relocated to Brooklyn in 2000 and stayed with R&S for one more year, until it was bought out by Sony and Van Hoen was dropped. And he’s remained in Brooklyn ever since.
The past five years have seen little output from Van Hoen, as he has been limited by family obligations. Fortunately, 2009 has been a bit of a resurgence. His DJ gigs have begun to surface and a recently announced performance at experimental Brooklyn venue, Monkeytown, on August 14th should satisfy his local fanbase’s hunger for Mark’s return to the live format that put him on the map.
