Many consider Amsterdam to be the global capital of techno and few artists embody that notion more than Joris Voorn. He sits at the epicentre of the Dutch electronic music scene and is a perfectionist and an immaculate purveyor of high quality techno and forward-thinking house.  

A futuristic modern-art-meets-tech touring artist whose feet are firmly planted in the world of underground techno, Joris is also embedded in the worlds of contemporary art, photography and architecture. His attention to detail in the studio, on stage or in design are unsurpassed. 

Many consider Amsterdam to be the global capital of techno and few artists embody that notion more than Joris Voorn. He sits at the epicentre of the Dutch electronic music scene as an immaculate purveyor of high quality techno and forward-thinking house. Joris is also embedded in the worlds of contemporary art, photography and architecture. His attention to detail in the studio, on stage or in design are unsurpassed. 

Joris gained international recognition with his debut ‘Muted Trax’ EP on Keynote, and since then has gone on to release four highly acclaimed artist albums, ‘Future History’, ‘From A Deep Place’, ‘Nobody Knows’ (voted electronic album of the year 2014 by Billboard Magazine in the US) and the most recent ‘\\\\’ in 2019. He has backed these up with dearly loved mix compilations. 

Joris’s celebrated abilities and skills in the studio have also led to many high profile remix requests. The list is diverse from global superstar Dua Lipa to cult indie songwriter White Cliffs. All have called on Joris Voorn to interpret their works. 

In 2005 he founded ‘Green’ the first of three labels he runs with long-time collaborator Edwin Oosterwal. ‘Green’ provided a platform for Joris to release two albums, plus some of his biggest hits including 2013’s ‘Ringo’ and his 2016’s ‘Looks Fake Obviously’. His second label ‘Rejected’ offered an additional outlet – but this time for more straight-up house music aimed purely at the dancefloor. 

These two labels represent the opposing ends of the ‘Spectrum’ of underground music Joris is proud to champion. In fact, this word is so synonymous with his wide range of underground styles and sounds that it inspired him to launch his 3rd label project, brand, weekly globally syndicated radio show an event series - ‘Spectrum’. Since its inception ‘Spectrum’ has gathered a myriad of fans from not only the dancefloor and radio airwaves but industry alike. In a post-pandemic landscape Joris recently hosted a sold out 4,000 strong gathering of Spectrum acolytes in Amsterdam.  

During the pandemic, Joris found an incredible outlet for his creative drive. He found himself entrenched in composing soundtracks for movies, working on new album material and even developing a new live alias – VIRSION – which will formally launch in January 2022 with singles, an album and a series of headline festival live appearances. A live concept – the VIRSION tour will be a fully immersive show with mind bending visuals from Rebel Overlay.  

Joris is also far into his next artist album for BMG / Spectrum which looks set to be another masterpiece of rich sonic dexterity. It is aimed for a 2023 release. 

Never sitting still, Joris Voorn is a sophisticated composer and performer of precise and emotional electronic music. An immaculate artist who stands alone in his unique ability to weave underground sounds with carefully placed moments of melody – he lives behind the decks – but never forgets the education he gladly received on the dancefloor.
