Biography

A DJ competition in Enschede started Voorn's music career. In 2002 he released an EP, "Muted Trax". This release, as well as support from Carl Craig, Derrick May and Laurent Garnier[1] made him decide to focus on his DJing career. In 2003 his "Lost Memories" EP became another underground hit. In the same year Voorn was crowned Talent of the Year at the Dutch DJ Awards.[citation needed]

In 2005 he founded the ‘Green’ which is one of the two labels which he runs with long-time collaborator Edwin Oosterwal.

In 2009 he released the "Balance014" compilation, which mixed 100 songs into a double CD, morphing them into a collective mix.[citation needed]

Voorn also released the "Dusty House Room" EPs and reached 10th place in the Resident Advisor's DJ top 100.[2]

In 2014, he released his third studio album "Nobody Knows," which features collaborations with Matthew Dear, Kid A and his father. The album is not all electronic and features live instruments such as guitar and bass.[3] In 2019, he released his forth studio album Four.[citation needed]

In April 2020, Orbital, an EDM artist Voorn grow up listening to, released a rework of Voorn's "Never."[4]

In October 2020, Global Underground released GU43 featuring Joris Voorn..[5] The record features some of his own tracks and has been described as melodic tech-house.[6]
