'From a Deep Place' is Joris Voorn's second artist album, the follow up to 2004's acclaimed 'Future History'. Taking in a more listening perspective than his debut breakthrough, 'From a Deep Place' is steeped in lush atmospheres and subtle master strokes that combine to add a sense of depth to Joris's dancefloor moves. Joris Voorn is a producer and DJ from Rotterdam, Netherlands. Being raised in a musical family, music became a big part of his life and around 1995 electronic music caught his attention. Getting deeper into this music when he started DJing in 1997, Joris developed an interest in techno and house and bought himself the versatile MC-303 groovebox to experiment with synth soundsand drumloops. Towards the end of 2000 Joris started building up a small studioto produce his own music, which led to his first release - 'Muted Trax pt.1' on Keynote. His first release was quite a success - played by Carl Craig, Laurent Garnier, DJ Rush, Technasia and many more and since then Joris ha sreleased EP's on different labels like Keynote, Sound architecture, Line and Wolfskuil. In 2003 'Lost Memories Pt.1' was released on Technasia's SINO label, and was followed up by 'Lost memories Pt.2' containing a track called 'Incident' which gained huge success and was licensed the world over. In October 2004 Joris' debut album 'Future History' was released on Sino, containing 20 diverse tracks that were made over his first few years of making electronic music and broke him into the upper echelons of the techno vanguard. In the summer of 2005 Joris' new personal outlet 'Green' saw the light of day. 'A dedicated mind' was released just as his debut DJ mix CD for the Fuse club in Belgium showed his DJ and production skills to even greater effect whereby each track was an amalgamation of two different tracks spliced in the mix using Ableton live. As a DJ and live performer Joris has travelled the globe. He has performed around all of Europe, Japan, Taiwan, Hong Kong, China, Singapore, Indonesia, Malaysia, Russia, Brazil, Colombia, Israel and the USA. Together with his friend Edwin Oosterwal the 'Rejected' record label was established at the end of 2006. Their first EP as Rejected featuring the two tracks 'SL3' and 'Cliché' became an instant success and was played out by almost every self-respecting DJ around the globe.
Early in 2006 a track called MPX_309 was released on Green 02, a crossover techno work that appealed to almost every DJ around, whether playing techno, minimal, house or trance. During the same year Joris began working on his second album which brings us to summer 2007. This new piece of work features many different styles of electronic music, ranging from atmospheric interludes to broken beats, house and deep soulful techno. The focus point of the new album is the listener rather than the dancer, therefore some of the works have been edited to more DJ friendly tracks for the vinyl release of the album.
