Back once again with 5 of the ‘Best’ and this month we are plunging head first into the electrifying waters of Techno ! These are 5 of the top Techno DJ’s and Producers in the world and between them have literally redefined the boundaries of what a great Techno set should include. Lots to get your ears around here so we hope you enjoy this selection !
Joris Voorn - Slam Tent - T In The Park
First up we have the Legend that is Joris Voorn. Like many musicians, Voorn had a strong affiliation with music at a young age, growing up in the city of Schiedam where he learned how to play the guitar and violin. (His father was a composer of music.) However, once the radio opened his mind to newer influences, Voorn became hooked on techno. During his education he won a DJ competition in Enschede which kick-started Joris' music career. Since 1997 Joris has been regularly booked for gigs and had a residency at the ATAK. However his first production was not until 2002 when he released his "Muted Trax" EP. This release, as well as support from Carl Craig, Derrick May and Laurent Garnier made him decide to (temporarily) give up interior architecture and focus on his DJing career. In 2003 his "Lost Memories" EP became another hit. In the same year Joris was crowned Talent of the Year at the Dutch DJ Awards. Besides doing his 'high energy' live sets Joris loves dj'ing as well, playing a wide range of techno and house with his own remark. Never boring and always innovating because that's his nature. In this mix we can hear Joris’s trademark high-energy sound absolutely destroying the Slam tent at T- InThePark – Not to be missed!
