 Profile:
For more than two decades
Orlando Voorn has been one of the
major contributors to the electronic music scene.
Being one of Europe's most original and innovative
producers, he was one of the first Dutch musicians to try
and establish a vital connection between Detroit and
Amsterdam. Orlando undoubtedly has an ear for melody
and always succeeds in combining it with an innate
understanding of the importance of atmosphere and tension in
music. Orlando can now look back at a solid career with
about 80 releases and a number of remixes and productions
for numerous Artists. Still going on strong, with
release after release Orlando explores many different styles
of music.
After his departure with Submerge, Orlando joined a new
label; TriangleRecords distributed by TripleVision. He is
finally elaborating on the Detroit roots of the original
music, bringing up a remix with great buildup, perfectly
timed breaks and wonderful hints to a magnificent musical
heritage. Orlando has an impressive career as pioneer of the
Dutch/Detroit techno scene and made numerous recordings
under various monikers.
Voorn began DJing at the tender age of 12 and went on to win
the Dutch DMC DJ Championships in 1986 with his own
characteristic blend of hiphop and electro. Towards the end
of the eighties he acquired his first sequencer, packed away
his turntables and turned his hand to producing. Following a
series of dance floor tracks recorded for the now defunct
Lower East Side Records under the moniker of Frequency in
the early nineties (Where Is Your Evidence, Kiss The Sky…),
he was introduced to Juan Atkins (Industrial Metal, Game
One) and went on to work with both Derrick May and Blake
Baxter (as one half of the Ghetto Brothers).
Voorn was also recording as Nighttripper (Tone
Exploitation), Format (Solid Session - one of the most
sought after classic techno records until its re-release in
1998), Basic Bastard, The Living Room, Baruka, Fix (Flash on
Kevin Saunderson’s legendary KMS label), Dope Dog, Boy (Paco
Di Bango’s World) and Stalker (The Stalker/The Riderman)…
Many of these tracks can be heard on the double cd "Best of
Nightvision". He has made his mark producing his own vision
of techno, ambient and hiphop and adamantly sidestepping
genre limitations thus far.
Nightvision originally started in 1993 and consisted of
quality uncut techno music mainly set up for Orlando's own
creations like "The living room 'Baruka' Defence" Progress
"FIX Frequency vs Atkins" Infiniti. He is producing
Exclusive Game one remixes of Infiniti, originally released
in 1994, on Metroplex imprint of Juan Atkins & Orlando's
