Archaic Podcast 400.4 - Orlando Voorn

As one of the first Dutch musicians to establish a vital connection between Detroit and Amsterdam, Orlando Voorn has long been recognized as one of the Netherland’s most original and inventive producers in the world of electronic dance music. Voorn began djing at the tender age of 12 and went on to win the Dutch DMC DJ Championships in 1986 with his own characteristic blend of hiphop and electro. Towards the end of the eighties he acquired his first sequencer, packed away his turntables and turned his hand to producing. Following a series of dancefloor tracks recorded for the now defunct Lower East Side Records under the monniker of Frequency in the early nineties (Where Is Your Evidence, Kiss The Sky…), he was introduced to Juan Atkins (Industrial Metal, Game One) and went on to work with both Derrick May and Blake Baxter (as one half of the Ghetto Brothers). Voorn was also recording as Nighttripper (Tone Exploitation), Format (Solid Session - one of the most sought after classic techno records until its re-release in 1998), Basic Bastard, The Living Room, Baruka, Fix (Flash on Kevin Saunderson’s legendary KMS label), Dope Dog, Boy (Paco Di Bango’s World) and Stalker (The Stalker/The Riderman)… Many of these tracks can be heard on the double cd Best of Nightvision. Having made his mark producing his own vision of techno, ambient and hiphop and adamantly sidestepping genre limitations thus far, Voorn’s announcement that his "Redeye" album would see a foray into drum’n’bass territory aroused both anticipation and curiosity. While Voorn undoubtedly has an ear for melody, this has always been combined with an innate understanding of the importance of atmosphere and tension in music. Like Squarepusher, Amon Tobin, and Photek, he uses drum’n’bass rhythms to create something beyond pure dance music. https://www.facebook.com/orlandofixvoorn https://www.facebook.com/orlando.voorn https://www.facebook.com/nightvisionrecord https://twitter.com/orlandovoorn https://soundcloud.com/orlando-voorn https://www.discogs.com/es/artist/4347-Orlando-Voorn Tracklist: 1_Infinity_ G+me One_Qu+ntec Remix_Nightvision 2_P+ty P+t_ B+sic Sl+ve Rhythm_ Nighttripper Records 3 Infinity _ G+me One _ Origin+l Mix 4 Orl+ndo Voorn_ No Doubt_ Anil Ar+s Remix_ To the Future 5 Underground Resist+nce_Timeline_ UR 6 Christi+n Blog_ P+r+digm 7 Ger+ld Mitchel _Ressurection_ Los Herm+nos 8 Orl+ndo Voorn _ Goon Be+tless_ Rush Hour 9 Orl+ndo Voorn _R+reform_ To The Future 10 Frequency_ P+nic Mode 2020 mix_RRR 11 H+y+tochiri - Purple Line_ Divine 12 k1000_ Judgement D+y _ OV remix_Nightvision 13 Orl+ndo Voorn _ Cloudd+ncing_ E be+ms 32 14Orl+ndo Voorn_ Vertigo_ Deeptr+x 15 DNA _ White l+bel Detroit 16 Anthony Rotner _ Slit Sc+n_ Cybersp+ce Re+lity 17 Sc+n 7 _ Unfinished Business_ Tr+nsient N+ture 18 Orl+ndo Voorn _ Extr+ terestri+l_ Axis
