GR 030EP

Joris Voorn returns on his Green label. "Iran The Zoo" is a lesson in stripped-back contrast and subtlety, with an acidic groove bleeping away over driving percussion and delicate atmospherics in the "Digital Version". A dizzying breakdown raises the bar with snare rolls and dramatic pads, with the wide-open space therein soon sucked back into the void when the beat drops back in. The "Analog Version" harks back more to Joris's techno sound of old. The throbbing kick and bass and acid blips are set against rising, white-noise drenched synth swells and simple percussion to create something moody and tough.

Joris Voorn returns home to Green Records with his second solo release of 2016 with The Great Esquape. "Esquape" finds that perfect sweet spot between house and techno. Dreamy, delayed techy stabs slowly pull into focus over punchy kicks as shimmering hi-hat patterns rise into the mix, before a nagging re-sampled vocal hook and warm bass drop. "Orange" is a deeper but equally stunning composition, centering around a sparkling synth arpeggio that filters up and down to provide moments of intensity and calm. Deft percussion drives the track along as melancholic pads are drafted in atop a succinct bassline.

Joris Voorn presents This Story Until Now for his GREEN imprint. Voorn on the release: "'Looks Fake Obviously' is a dark haunting track with a sweet melody that slowly drags you into the light. 'Dawn (Green Mix)' brings new life to a sound that I was once so familiar with, Detroit techno. Although this mix is more house than techno, it features characteristic melodies of the '90s Detroit sound that I loved. For me it's like things went full circle, coming back to a sound where chord stabs, pads and warm bass are very present."

Jamie Irrepressible's lullaby-infused whispering voice sits atop Dutch producer Joris Voorn's signature rhythmic framework, with layered emotion of textured synths and acoustic subtleties as soft and supple as they are comforting. With an ever-increasing discography reaching from atmospheric interludes to broken beats, Voorn puts his remixing skills to Norwegian electronic music duo Röyksopp's poignant single "I Had This Thing" and Audion's "Dem Howl (feat. Troels Abrahamsen)."

Joris Voorn's chart-topping Nobody Knows (GR 106CD, 2014) receives a fresh club treatment from the Dutchman, who now looks to bring his stunning album to world's dancefloors. The triple vinyl release opens with the thrillingly visceral and captivating "The Wild," followed by a new version of the original beatless opener "The Monk" and the beautiful number "A House," featuring vocals by Kid A. Voorn also treats the listener to a new version of the hugely popular "Homeland," featuring Matthew Dear, alongside the originals of "MoMo" and "Sweets for Piano." The wonderfully uplifting "Fall" precedes the bouncing melodic synth of "Mugged" and the original album version of "So Long," with its haunting vocal from Kid A. A final brace of goosebump-inducing tracks, "Left" and "Dust" (feat. Bram Stadhouders), closes this incredible triple LP.

Edwin Oosterwal and Joris Voorn's GREEN imprint is a platform free of boundaries and restrictions, as comfortable with ambient beauty as with sweat-inducing techno. For its latest release, GREEN welcomes Reggy van Oers. As Oosterwal explains, "Joris and I are fans of Reggy's music and we asked if he'd consider working on some music for GREEN. We like his approach to making music and his unique style, so we gave him a blank canvas and complete control. We're excited to be unveiling these new tracks." "Mavie" and "Loctivity" follow van Oers's trademark sound: deep, dark, and with a bewitching dub-touch.
