Mark Van Hoen has always defined and stayed true to his own sound, and as a result, has amassed a timeless discography that manages to remain unique due to the fact that he creates his own exquisite production techniques, never copying what's currently out there or replaying what has already been done. His music isn't easily categorizable, a marker of true artistry in my book.

For the past 10+ years, followers of Van Hoen have learned to be a patient group - there's been 2 6-year gaps between albums (as Mark Van Hoen), owing to his other production projects as well as numerous life/career interruptions (getting dropped from his label, getting his house demolished, starting a family, and most recently, moving to the states). His own patience, along with his ability to cast the right collaborators to work with has allowed him to grow as an artist while continuing to shape his own sonic legacy. Fans will be very eager to hear his latest opus (out now on City Centre Offices), knowing that what Mark has crafted, has been honed over the last few years, until he felt he arrived at something close to the truth.

Here's my own mix of MVH for your listening pleasure:
