Joris Voorn's professional career began around 2003, though music had been his world since 1996, when he started DJing in Rotterdam. He bought his first synthesiser, started working on tracks on his computer, and one or two years later released his first records. His debut EP, Muted Trax Pt.1 (2000), was a statement. Incident, from Lost Memories Pt.2 in 2003, was the track that changed everything.
In 2005 he launched his Green imprint, starting with the critically acclaimed A Dedicated Mind EP. That same year he delivered a masterclass in DJing with his Fuse Presents mix: a 40-track odyssey assembled with Ableton Live. By 2008 he had created Balance 014, weaving together Radiohead, Aphex Twin, Ricardo Villalobos, Carl Craig, and Todd Terje into a double-CD mix that remains one of the most emotionally expansive compilations in electronic music history.
He remains at the forefront of electronic music, bridging underground credibility and broader appeal. Headlining Berghain. Wire Festival in Yokohama. Time Warp. His influence on the shape of techno is undeniable.
