Joris Voorn
Awakenings x Spectrum ADE 2023
Joris Voorn at an Awakenings x Spectrum event is a guarantee of a journey through house and techno's deeper shades, and this ADE 2023 set finds him in masterful selector mode, weaving a tapestry from classic to cutting-edge that keeps us nerds endlessly dissecting. The vibe is sophisticated and immersive, a blend of warm basslines and crisp percussion in a sleek club environment, where the lighting probably syncs a bit too perfectly with the kicks. With an average BPM pushing 139 and a strong presence in the 12A key, Voorn navigates between tech house grooves and tougher techno, his mixing razor-sharp and energetic, building momentum through tracks like Kaltsound's 'Dps28y' before dropping into more atmospheric pockets.
For the diggers, he pulls out minimal bombs like Gianni Di Bernardo's 'Nocive', the raw power of KR!Z's 'Surge' on Token, and even a nod to history with Frankie Bones' 'FOLLOW THE LEADER'—because why not? He opens with an unknown track, builds momentum through the relentless drive of 'Decoder - Emotional Intelligence', and lands the final, heartfelt note with his own classic, 'You & I'—a highlight in a tracklist that showcases a DJ at the top of his game.
