KOM 487EP
|
The Dutch-American legend Orlando Voorn is back on the block with a very, very yummy four-tracker that is masterfully channeling his deep love for Detroit techno and Chicago house. "No Cellphones" recalls Green Velvet's classic Relief Records sound, applying a sinister bouncer voice that commands everybody to put their f***ing cellphones away. It's quite a tantalizing idea to drop this tune at an Afterlife party. "Raise The Bar" is a primo minimal heater for prime-time usage, classic Voorn intensity through and through. The flipside harbors two gorgeous, summerly house tracks with plenty of soul for those sun flooded festival floors. Orlando Voorn reigns supreme.

HEIST 068EP
|
Orlando Voorn is back on Heist after his 2022 Heist Mastercuts EP and comes in with a heavy dose of soulful machine funk. Heist Mastercuts Pt. 2 has the techno and house veteran showing his eclectic style with the vocal cut "Soundsystem", Midwest inspired sample jam "High" and his Boo Williams collaborative drum workout "909". On the first Heist Mastercuts, Orlando dove deep into his archives and presented a collection of old and new tracks, showing that his music has aged well and reminding us that he's a producer still on the top of his game. He kept busy in 2022 with releases on our own label Transient Nature, Kompakt, a handful of Bandcamp only tracks, and a self-released album. The EP kicks off with "Soundsystem": a masterclass in simplicity. A steady and minimalistic groove guides you through the track, where silky vocals and woozy chords take you on a trip through Orlando's sonic universe. "High" is Orlando's take on what could easily be an old Andrés track. Here, he samples a female vocal and cleverly adds his own vocals to add depth and originality to the track. The percussion on high grooves in an effortless way and underlines the feel of this track: It's fun, cool and incredibly funky. There's a bit of Dam Swindle sauce on the mix to make sure this track hits the right spot on any dancefloor. "Day By Day" is a classic Orlando Voorn cut with a live bassline, plenty of chopped samples and a Rhodes loop that could have come straight from a B-roll of a "First Choice" recording session. It ends with a collab with Orlando's close friend Emil and legendary Chicago producer Boo Williams. The producers take a monologue from Boo Williams about working the 909 and deliver a drum workout that keeps on building energy, showing exactly what Boo is talking about. The digital package also includes an instrumental mix of Soundsytem and an alternative mix to 909, just for good measure.

KOM 448EP

For over three decades, Orlando Voorn has been a force in dance music like few others. One of the first Dutch producers to establish a connection between Detroit and Amsterdam (check "Game One" his collaboration with Juan Atkins for Metroplex). He has recorded under a trove of alias that include Fix, Frequency, Format, to name a few. He maintains a relentless release schedule, and we are very grateful that he found the time to make his return to Kompakt after his well received 2021 Internal Destination EP. The track "So Deep" lives up to the title. A soulful vocal and sincere house beat simmer through an eerie soundscape loop. "Deeper Shades" keeps the vibe of the A side and makes for a serene and moody deep house journey of epic proportions. Last but not least, "March Of Freedom" brings out the best of Orlando's visionary production. Sweeping synths and sounds cascade into a momentous track that fits the peak time or in those eternal late-night sets.

HEIST 060EP
|
Heist Recordings welcomes late '80s DMC World DJ Championship contender, techno veteran, and house royalty, Orlando Voorn to the label with his Heist Mastercuts EP. Orlando Voorn is a man who needs little introduction. He's played a pivotal role in the development of the electronic music scene in the Netherlands, as well as in the USA where he now lives. With countless aliases, he has released everything from old school hip-hop to sample heavy breaks, to banging Detroit techno to soulful house music. His recent outings as Frequency on Clone, as well as his latest EP on our sublabel Transient Nature, are proof that even after 30+ years, the man is still very much on top of his game. The Heist Mastercuts EP sees Orlando dig deep in his archive for some of his undercover hits from the nineties that have been remastered for this EP. On top of that, he delivers a new track in the form of soulful house bomb "Be With You". "Be With You" starts off with a hazy groove and distant pads. The steady beat and funky electronic chops set a steady foundation for a rush inducing string sample that works together with looping diva vocals for maximum dancefloor excitement. No heavy drumrolls, FX or other tools necessary here: It's clever sampling and Orlando's soulful touch that make this track tick. Next up is the vinyl only track "Love Feelings" -- originally released in '96 on Urban Sounds of Amsterdam. Think 130+ BPM vintage house grooves with hazy pads and you'll get an idea of what's coming. "Love Feelings" is an up-tempo dreamhouse track that, even though it's almost 25 years old, still ticks all the boxes of a contemporary festival groover. On the B-side you'll find two versions of "Tenderness": the original mix and the "Late Night Dub", both originally released on Clubstitute Records back in '95. The original has a '90s garage groove with male vocal chops, old school house keys and strings. The late-night dub is exactly that: a dreamy ethereal deep house groove with warm synth hits, introverted percussion some very on point sax loops. The Heist Mastercuts EP is the first EP of Orlando Voorn on Heist Recordings.

ELY 9612EP
|
Orlando Voorn's musical output goes from strength to strength with each new release showing the Dutch musician flex his producer muscles in new and stronger forms. His trademark sound, a brilliant mixture of Detroit influence and Dutch modernism, is thoughtfully crafted with the dancefloor centrally placed in his musical mind. Mr. Voorn's latest venture arrives in the form of the "Dirty Rules Crew", a collaborative effort for Elypsia Records which is absolutely impossible to resist, and guaranteed to smash the club to pieces. Kicking off the release comes the Christian Bonori remix of "Dirty Rules". The Italian producer/DJ wastes no time getting things going with a tough-as-nails kick drum and sharp, moody synth stabs. The energy grows stronger with each passing phrase, with additional percussion, vocal samples, and textures placed strategically, pushing the tune towards it's boiling point. Orlando Voorn's version of "Dirty Rules" is a captivating cut centered around a relentless and powerful percussive groove which confidently captures Orlando's ability to combine true late-night mayhem with well calibrated patience. The vocal samples flow in and out of consciousness whilst loopy synth melodies construct a hypnotic atmosphere brilliantly. Diving into more submerged territory is the final version of "Dirty Rules", credited as the "Deeptech Mix" for clear reasons. Saturated textures, repetitive vocal samples, and a heavy use of reverb all result in a perfectly murky heads-down dancefloor experience. True afterhours power for those who can handle going below the surface into deeper musical territories.

DR 004EP

Warehouse find of this 2013 EP. This is a taste of what to expect from Orlando Voorn in 2013 as he returns with an incredibly strong EP. "One Day" features soul legend Marvin Gaye on the vocals and is a funky, jazzy, and soulful house track with the perfect groove. "Won't Be Long" is soulful Detroit house at its best. "Takadakadina" is a hypnotic, super-funky house track, sounding something like Derrick Carter just moved to Detroit. "Soul Survivor" is a deep journey into Theo Parrish-territory with mind-blowing elements of soul and Detroit.

"Orlando Voorn has proven through time to be one of the most prolific electronic music producers of all time. Orlando has produced electronic music over the years over at least 30 different monikers on too many record labels to count, but despite the great volume of work, it has always remained at a quality level that few can attain while remaining surprising and quirky, Every track has its own personality. Orlando is not the type of artist that will think up one good approach to making a record and then crank out 20 more in that style till everybody is sick of it. He chooses to innovate and experiment with new sounds and beats every time he steps in the studio. When Orlando Voorn came to Submerge Recordings everybody was excited to see what he did next. On his own label, Ignitor, Orlando came forth with a flood of great and innovative tracks. This compilation represents what we think are some of the premier musical moments in the Ignitor catalog as well as some tracks made for Electrofunk Records. This compilation we believe is one of the finest and most compelling albums we have ever released at Submerge Recordings. If you don't know who Orlando Voorn is by now you will definitely remember him after taking a listen to this."

IGNTR 1006EP

"Ignitor debuts the Archives series, long lost and unreleased tracks that have stood the test of time, from the archives of Orlando Voorn. Originally released in 1993, Basic Bastard Volume 1 shows off Orlando's ability to switch up styles. Minimal Soul is a house funk track, featuring jackin' Todd Terry style drum beats and vocal samples with minimal keys and bassline. 'Moments in Measures' is a quirky techno piece, filled with analog squelches, electronic melody and militant drums. 'Take Me Away' rounds out the EP with a homage to the lush Detroit Techno that fuels Orlando's work; full strings and syncopated bass and percussion lay the bed before flutes and effects send this track soaring."

"The second release in Ignitor's Archives series takes us back to 1994. Basic Bastard Vol.3 is unrelenting in it's drive and melodic soundscapes. Bounce features rhythmic chords over a rolling bassline with driving drums and sparkling melody, an absolute monster for the dancefloor. 'Deep City', takes you there, into the gray area between melodic techno and house, a must for fans of Red Planet and Stacey Pullen's Cosmic Messenger work. 'Signals' features a growling hook of a bassline and eerie strings led by swinging hi-hats -- sinister techno reminiscent of Suburban Knight on Transmat."
