Raised in a musical family, music naturally became an intrinsic part of Voorn's life from an early age. Electronic music first caught his attention in the mid-90's, and he started DJ'ing in 1997. <br /><br />By the end of 2000 Joris began building a small studio to produce his own music, which led to his first release<br />called 'muted trax pt.1' on Keynote. His first EP was massive success, filling the record boxes of Carl Craig,<br />Laurent Garnier, DJ Rush and Technasia. In 2003 'Lost memories Pt.1' was released on Technasia's SINO label<br />and was followed by 'Lost memories Pt.2' containing the anthem 'Incident' which was heard on dancefloors<br />around the world.<br /><br />After the success of 'Incident', Voorn released his debut cd album called 'Future History' on the Sino label.<br />Encompassing 3 years of ideas and inspiration, the cd contains 20 diverse tracks, a seamless soundscape that<br />represents his arrival as one of the most relevant techno producers of this time.<br /><br />In the summer of 2005 Joris Voorn's new personal outlet called 'green' saw the light of day. 'A dedicated mind'<br />was released as the first EP, which garnered success globally. He also completed his debut DJ mix CD for the<br />Fuse club in Belgium. After Dave Clarke, DJ Hell and Technasia, Fuse presented Joris Voorn to mix part 4 of their<br />international resident's dj mix albums. The mix contained over 40 tracks of timeless techno music mixed with the<br />help of Ableton Live for its endless mixing and editing possibilities.<br /><br />In 2006 the sophomore release under Voorn's Green label, named 'MPX_309', was a crossover techno work that<br />was played out by techno, minimal, house and trance DJs. During the same year Voorn created his second<br />album, released worldwide in June 2007. This new piece of work called 'From a deep place' featured many<br />different styles of electronic music, ranging from atmospheric interludes to broken beats, house and deep soulful<br />techno.<br /><br />The focus point of the 'From a deep place' CD has been the listener rather than the dancer and was received<br />enthusiastically by the electronic music community. Some of the works were edited to more dj friendly tracks for<br />the vinyl release of the album. During the summer of 2007 Joris has been touring with his new live performance in<br />support of his album release.<br /><br />More recently, Joris has been focusing on collaborative efforts producing remixes for respected and diverse artists<br />such as Robert Babicz, Nic Fanciulli, Slam, Steve Angello, Sebo K and Jerome Sydenham. The 'Dark Flower<br />Magnolia Mix' for Robert Babicz turned out to be another summer anthem in electronic dance music, and was a<br />favourite of DJ's like Sven Vath, Dubfire, Pete Tong and John Digweed among many others.<br /><br />In 2008, following the success of his resident advisor podcast, Joris was invited to produce episode 14 of the<br />Balance DJ mix CD series from Australia. Following in the footsteps of James Holden and Lee Burridge, Joris<br />constructed a layered and seamless mix of electronic dance music on a double CD. An epic mix in the very best<br />sense of the word, Balance 014 achieves the rare feat of combining variety and consistency, making it perfect for<br />trainspotters and dancers alike. The tracks change quickly and quietly, but the groove stays. An accompanying<br />world tour will follow where Joris will bring the essence of this studio project to the stage, using all different<br />elements of the mix into a full range club experience.<br /><br />Having established himself as a leading producer and DJ, Joris will be embarking on a new project called 'A green<br />night'. Inspired by his surroundings, which is never limited to the dancefloor, Joris and his team will be creating a<br />night in several festivals and clubs, exploring the possibilities of combining music and visual arts. This year the<br />project will be developed, tested and finetuned in selected clubs.<br /><br />As a DJ and live performer Joris Voorn has joined an elite group of international DJ's whose musical talent has<br />acquired global appeal. He has performed across Europe, Japan, Hong Kong, China, Singapore, Austsralia,<br />Russia, Brazil, Colombia, Israel, Detroit, Chicago and New York.<br /><br />Website: http://www.djmag.com<br />Top 100 DJs: http://www.djmag.com/top100djs<br />Facebook: http://on.fb.me/1tr9sNh<br />Twitter: http://bit.ly/1AxeMR6<br />Google+: http://bit.ly/1k6xlq5<br />SoundCloud: http://bit.ly/1pE3QIU<br />Mixcloud: http://bit.ly/UK6i8
