Review: Although best known for his forays into futurist techno and body-popping electrofunk, Orlando Voorn is well capable of making seriously good deep house, as this four-track missive emphatically proves. The Dutchman is in prime form on 'Sometimes', a leisurely and loopy slab of tactile deep house warmth built around soft-touch instrumental samples and classic soul vocal snippets. Voorn then pushes up the tempo on jazzy, chunky sample-house loop jam 'The Same Girl', before combining squelchy electronics and hushed house beats with more vintage soul loops on 'In My Soul'. A rock-solid EP is drawn to a close by 'Reality', a much jazzier and bluesy chunk of head-nodding deep house perfection.
Review: Dutch techno veteran Orlando Voorn is back on Soul Stage Records, which Voorn has taken over from the late Morgan Anson at the blessing of his family. Yet more lush house, disco and soul infusions that the label describes as "pushing boundaries to make something uncompromising that we can be proud of". From the infectious machine funk of "Never Knew" in its original format, followed by another deep and sensual vocal house remix by the man himself. More reworks come from the late label boss Anson with Blackpool's Luke Neptune, and Paul Donton (of Bombis Records) with a sensual and hypnotic afterhours mix which reaches near tribal moments.
