Joris Voorn is a producer, a DJ, a live act and a visual artist. Like many Dutchmen, he makes techno with a nod to Detroit, first pricking up ears in 2004 with the release of the ‘The Lost Memories’ EPs which included the big dancefloor cuts ‘Missing’ and ‘Incident’, the latter of which became one of the most hammered anthems of the year. Since then Voorn has released two full lengths albums, ‘Future History’ and this year’s ‘From a Deep Place’, both of which fused together deep house, old skool Detroit and even some ambient landscapes.Aside from his own bleeps and bloops, Voorn also spins records. Last year his debut mix compilation for Belgian club Fuse headed in a more minimal direction, fusing together Detroit classics from Robert Hood, Carl Craig and Jeff Mills with newer outings from Sleeparchive, Marc Houle and Matthew Dear. Those who’ve heard ‘Fuse’ or one of Voorn’s high energy live shows might be surprised by his RA podcast though: This one is fifty-four minutes of deep house meets ambient with an emphasis on silky synths and even silkier vocals.

How many times his gig to istanbul canceled? Good question.These days minimal star Luciano is living the quiet life in rural Switzerland.His lifestyle change happened approximately a year ago, when Luciano moved from Berlin to Bossey, a small Swiss village near the French border.Luciano: “My philosophy is that a DJ should always try to transport emotions onto the dancefloor. To dig deep and bring everything up that mattered emotionally in their life, that made them laugh, everything that caused sensations. To try to transport that from their childhood to the now. You know, I’m very influenced by melodies I heard in my childhood. I never studied music. All my skills came from my own ear.” An Introduction Minimal just got messier.Minimal techno has always been about stripping things down to their essence.The series is a riff on the old idea of “DJ tools” offering stripped-down tracks meant to be mixed in performance.Now, with Cadenza’s Split Composition series, the opposite approach comes into play: building a new sound, and a new tradition, from the beats up.Each edition will consist of four sides of vinyl broken out into several skeletal rhythm tracks and a handful of supplementary parts: ambient fantasias, shimmering drones, treated vocals, electro-acoustic collages. The series is a riff on the old idea of “DJ tools” offering stripped-down tracks meant to be mixed in performance. So thats the idea, but is it worth spending over a tenner on as Luciano shares some original tools crafted only for those who dare to dive into creative waters ie these are tools and not tracks. Saying that, lead track “Keridos” is a shimmering techno surface that evolves over 10 minutes. “Saulitude” has an amazing bassline that is perfect for afterhours but its the ambient tools that, whilst not gonna encourage a DJ to buy it, could be both.
Tracks:
1 Keridos
2 Saulitude
3 Toneites
4 Afghan Birds
5 Alternated Tones
6 Somewhere Near His Heart
7 Le Chant
8 Inner Sirens
