-- Joris Voorn

Joris Voorn

He has been producing for a while now, but I only really noticed him when he came out with this:



He was also ranked high on the TA Dj list (apparently extremely credible ), so I am looking for some recommendations.

joris voorn has been getting bigger and bigger over the past 3 years... i saw him 3 times this year and his sets are always on point

i don't like him as a producer at all, that being said...he knows how to play a party. His best sets always lack his tracks, the one thing about joris is that he will play some old track in a context that completely makes you feel that even if the track was produced "x" years ago..it sounds like it was done yesterday.

he does not play forward thinking music, but he sure as hell knows how to play a set that pleases many...and even the chin strokers.


this confuses me sometimes, because his productions and remixes are lazy. I think that he is one of those rare "you have to hear play live to get them" people.

That makes sense, he seems to have gone through some big changes in style in his productions (mind you i have only skimmed through his songs). Does he play in Canada much?

He used to produce much better music in the past. Much better. Now he is only concerned with functionality when producing a new track/remix. Personally I find the vast majority of his newer stuff sounds hollow and cheap.

With that being said, I also saw him 3 times in the past 14 months or so. First was the best, second was second and the third time was decent at best.

i agree although, i think that he was putting out a lot of forward stuff a few years ago...but ever since he got some success the past year, he find a niche..and sorta stuck with it..

Would you see him a fourth?

No. Not for a at least a year or so.

edit: the tracks may be different but the overall experience will be the same more or less.

Thanks, I've only heard many reasons, but that song is class.

when i said i don't like him as a producer at all, it was exaggerated because incident is easily one of my fav tech tracks of all time. (by this i mean top 10). i can't get behing sweep the floor and all of the other stuff personally. HE is a hell of a dj though, and uses layering and live sampling quite well.

he won't educate you, but he will make you dance a lot.



it is a good track, but i admit that the nostalgia factor from a certain techno based nightclub here in the late 90's/early 00's influenced me.

Maybe it depends on the venue, I saw him twice this year, the first time was at a big festival where he dropped "anthems" and dancefloor-oriented stuff (with talent as you said), the second time was in a smaller club in Paris, where he took more time to build his set, he played more forward thinking music. Both were very very enjoyable though.
Oh and his productions sound like "hey, let's put my whole library of high hat and shakers"

i have not seen him for over a year.

the most memorable moment for me, was dropping a loop of mr scruff get a move on during piknic electronik. ninja tune has always been a montreal staple...the fact that he realized this and turned it into a great transition from "ok i'm on now" to "let's give these drunks some party" was pretty amazing. Get a move on is not quite what i would consider to be a big party tune for the tech people. The tech people were in full force and loved it.

gimme a minute, i'll post the set.

[[ LINK REMOVED ]]


maybe it was because of the beautiful sun out, the party outdoors on an island with the city in view...but his set was very good.

.......and it always depends on the venue...certain gigs = certain adjustments. Not every dj knows how to make those.

I can't say I've ever responded favorably to any of his productions, and in terms of DJ'ing, I tend to enjoy him a lot more when the material he plays is of a more downtempo orientation.

Since this is an "Offer your view on..." thread, I'll just say I really liked the Future History album, and assorted other productions, such as She's Worth It with Alexander Kowalski.

listen to the set i posted system...not because i think you would like it...but because you elaborate quite well and would tell me i've lost the plot.

get a move on is at 20 mins...before is just standard tech house, but that move to kick it up a notch makes me jealous. To the point that i actually attempted to use get a move on in one of my own sets with different tracks to get a similar affect.

"good artists borrow, great artists steal" ;p

i've edited this post 4 times...stop drinking, stop posting imo

Incident.

i have 4 different presses of incident...i don't know why i bought them because they are the same tracks with diff album art and labels...but i love it

try cuing up 2 of the same records with the second staring on the first beat at the first break. if you understand my drunk talk, it is win.

beatjuggling = never fail.

which 4? there's only 1 released on Sino.

he is forgiven for all the crap remixes he put out recently for his remix of "dark flower" alone

it gives me shivers, such an emotional track, but still works in a club. dont know many tracks like it

His essential mix from 2009 is a masterpiece.

The Sigur Ros/PJ Harvey sequence at the end was brilliant.
