Review: Bass Agenda Recordings have struck gold with this latest mission as they welcome the explosive production skill sets of Orlando Voorn inside for three hard hitting breaksy originals, jam-packed with originality from start to finish. We begin with the slumberous rhythmic twists and packed out sub sections of 'Hunting Season', a technophone's nightmare, stuffed to the brim with bleeps and crashes. From here, 'Quick Thinking' then delivers something a little more industrial, focussing on pacey bass bumps and skippy drum sweeps, before the emotive melodies and tooting horn lines of 'The Point Of No Return' arrives for a hard hitting finale. Top stuff indeed!
Review: Orlando Voorn has been putting out techno for almost 30 years, but the passage of time has not had an impact on the quality of his output. 2020 saw him release a slew of high-quality Eps and a great artist album; this year looks set to see a similar work rate, and Internal Destination opens his 2021 account in style. It starts with the woozy, deep tones and shuffling drums of "Stuck In My Ways", while on the title track, Voorn drops a melodic, wiry groove, an ode to the Detroit techno influence that looms large on his work. Changing tact again, the veteran producer drops the break beats and tripped out synths of "Ride The Wave".
Review: It's been a while since Orlando Voorn dropped an electro EP, and he's chosen one of the most influential labels to release Outerworld on. Trust has been home to luminaries like Clatterbox, Stingray and The Exaltics over the years, so Voorn is in good company. Of course, this four-tracker can also stand on its own merits. It moves from the moody, acid-soaked "Shockwave", into the title track, where he melds dramatic stabs with robust 808s. In contrast, "Reverse Psychology" is more abstract, resounding to a stop-start rhythm, while he ventures to the outer limits on "Space Trap". Underpinned by spaced out tones and loose drums, it's an atmospheric, distinctive jam.
