Review: After the huge remix package of Dutch legend Joris Voorn's acclaimed 2019 LP \\\\ (Four) last year which included big names such as Orbital and Olivier Giacamotto, in addition to hometown heroes such as Steve Rachmad and Rejected co-head Edwin Oosterval - we have a couple more on Part 6! Frank Maurel has previously appeared on Josh Wink's Ovum Recordings and appears here with a cerebral, trance-inducing remix of "Polydub", while the anthemic "This City" (feat Lazarusman) has already had its fair share of reworks, but the uplifting and euphoric energy on the VIRSION take is a step up - vaguely reminiscent of '90s hi-NRG.
Review: Legend of the scene Joris Voorn brings a fourth instalment to the remix series taking on his 2019 album Four. With the likes of Orbital and J Majik contributing to previous editions, version four sees German duo Monkey Safari - who released the Safe single on Spectrum earlier this year - relive the breathy and melodic tones of "Ryo" in a sweetly deep, instrumental and housey remix of refined production prowess. Next to that is a more bassline influenced, aparegio driven and trance pumping remake of "Dark" by Steyoyoke boss Soul Button. Four to the floor you can be sure.
Review: Dutch veteran Joris Voorn is back with some top tier remixes from his fourth long player entitled 'Four' released on personal imprint Spectrum late last year. The two sections presented for reworks are: "Antigone" first up, that receives an Extended Mix by Finnish producer Yotto (Anjunadeep/This Never Happened) recreating the track in deeper, more evocative and strongly melodic fashion. This is the first time since 2017 that he's worked with Vorrn, when he presented a release on his sister label Green. Secondly we have another Extended Mix, this time of "Never" by mysterious new producer Colyn. They recently debuted on Italian label Afterlife and this is an ethereal and mesmerising cut that is accentuated by some gorgeous pan pipe textures for added dramatic effect.
Review: The fifth set of remixes of tracks from Joris Voorn's Four album features a stellar cast of underground names. Skudge's take on "Shallow" features the kind of hollowed-out drums, tight percussion and dubbed out chords that the Swedish act has become synonymous with, and is a lesson in lean but soulful techno. Edwin Oosterwal, who collaborates with Voorn as Rejected, goes deeper but harder for his version of the same track; set to tougher kicks and billowing synths, it's a reminder that it's possible to keep dance-floor friendly tracks musical. The same philosophy underpins Steve Rachmad's take on "This City", where ominous Red 2 -style stabs unfold over an upfront, jacking rhythm.
