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.

Matthew Dear crafts beautifully textured electronic pop, which can be heard on his new album, Asa Breed. With his new arsenal of songs, Matthew creates a completely fresh musical experience that has received an overwhelming amount of feedback from both fans and press worldwide.Asa Breed, out on his home label Ghostly International, is the most accomplished project to date from this prolific artist. It follows his pop-infused debut, ”Leave Luck to Heaven”, which caught mainstream attention, garnering 4 stars in Rolling Stone, and helped him land remix duties for the Postal Service, Chemical Brothers and Hot Chip. He has also reached techno superstardom with his globe-spanning DJ sets and the classic club rocking single “Mouth to Mouth” under his dance floor alias Audion.Upcoming Asa Breed Black Edition, he is happy to release “Don’t Go This Way”.Written during the recording sessions for Asa Breed but previously unreleased, is now available exclusively on our RCRD LBL blog.“Dont Go This Way” is another enigmatic pop gem from Matthew with a hypnotic, almost tribal percussive stance, complete with disembodied falsettos swirling in and out over the deep, neatly compressed kick. Synth stabs pile onto each other building the suspense only to pull back- a sly and calculated anti-climax from an artist for whom tension has always been an instrument of choice.
