Super Culture launches new label with Orlando Voorn’s ‘Everyday Desires’
featuring Remixes from Terry Francis and Will B
Esteemed techno and deep house producer, Orlando Voorn launches the new Super Culture label with ‘Everyday Desires’, a raw slice of high end deepness with 2 remixes from Fabric’s legendary in-house DJ & Producer, Terry Francis on November 26th on Bandcamp with full release on December 10th.
Fusing a classic disco vocal sample over chunky grooves, Orlando’s opening 2pm mix bathes the floor in a lightness of funk. His 1pm mix adds killer keys and lush organ stabs, reminiscent of Kerri Chandler’s raw dance floor forays and is guaranteed to get things working. Adding a new drum sound Terry Francis infuses the track with even more energy as he hypnotises further with his
forthcoming Solo & hard jackin’ Dirty Frog remixes. Rounding this debut set off is Will B’s jazzy deep house excursion ensuring this hits all bases.
Known for quality releases fired off at a dizzying pace, Orlando Voorn’s recent highlights include the ‘Star Travel’ LP on Jeff Mill’s Axis Record; the ‘Internal Destination EP’ on Kompakt Records; ‘Soul Society EP’ on Burek Records; ‘In Deep Thought’ on Alex Attias’ Visions Recordings as well as launching his own new imprint Soul Stage. He’s also and behind a series of dope bootlegs
Originally a scratch DJ and Winner of The Netherlands’ DMC Championships in ’86 & 87, Orlando is recognised as an original and ingenious producer of electronic dance music. From his early DJ successes, he started producing bombastic hardcore as Frequency, trance before the genre even existed as Format, and acres of vividly colourful techno as Frequency racking up tracks such as ‘Where is Your Evidence’, ‘Kiss the Sky’ and ‘Industrial Metal’ for Lower East Side Records.
One of the first to forge early links with Detroit’s techno originators, Orlando was first Introduced to Juan Atkins (Cybotron). They joined forces on seminal cut ‘Game One’, a classic on Juan’s Metroplex label. Orlando worked with Blake Baxter under the alias ‘The Ghetto Brothers’ going on to produce 2 EPs featuring timeless classics such as ‘Ghetto Disco’ and ‘Ghetto Blues’. One of his biggest tracks is ‘Flash’ on KMS Records, which set the techno world alight with its gritty industrial funk attitude. Orlando also produced ‘Midi Merge’ under the Complex alias for Derrick May’s Fragile label.
“I first came across Orlando in the early 90’s when he released ‘Flash’ under the name Fix on Kevin Saunderson’s KMS Records. At the time, it shook our world – like a slap in the face. It was p-funk, straight from George Clinton but melded in techno like it was beaten out on the production line. From then on I was hooked and always had a couple of Orlando releases in my box. He’s got a style that’s so free, fresh and so deep. He’s a unique artist on the scene, especially in the way he cuts a swathe right across the electronic music spectrum’
