    Joris voorn biog

    Joris Voorn is a record producer and Dj from Rotterdam, Netherlands.
    Raised in a musical family, music naturally became an intrinsic part
    of Voorn?s life from an early age. Electronic music first caught his
    attention in the mid- 90?s, and he started DJ?ing in 1997. After
    developing a more focused interest in house and techno, Joris invested
    in the versatile MC-303 Groovebox and began to experiment with synth
    sounds and drumloops.

    By the end of 2000 Joris began building a small studio to produce his
    own music, which led to his first release called ?muted trax pt.1? on
    Keynote. His first EP was massive success, filling the record boxes of
    Carl Craig, Laurent Garnier, DJ Rush and Technasia. In 2003 ?Lost
    memories Pt.1? was released on Technasia?s SINO label and was followed
    by ?Lost memories Pt.2? containing the anthem ?Incident? which was
    heard on dancefloorsaround the world.

    After the success of ?Incident?, Voorn released his debut cd album
    called ?Future History? on the Sino label. Encompassing 3 years of
    ideas and inspiration, the cd contains 20 diverse tracks, a seamless
    soundscape that
    represents his arrival as one of the most relevant techno producers of
    this time.

    In the summer of 2005 Joris Voorn?s new personal outlet called ?green?
    saw the light of day. ?A dedicated mind? was released as the first EP,
    which garnered success globally. He also completed his debut DJ mix CD
    for the Fuse club in Belgium. After Dave Clarke, DJ Hell and
    Technasia, Fuse presented Joris Voorn to mix part 4 of their
    international resident?s dj mix albums. The mix contained over 40
    tracks of timeless techno music mixed with thehelp of Ableton Live for
    its endless mixing and editing possibilities.

    In 2006 the sophomore release under Voorn?s Green label, named
    ?MPX_309?, was a crossover techno work that was played out by techno,
    minimal, house and trance DJs. During the same year Voorn created his
    second album, released worldwide in June 2007. This new piece of work
    called ?From a deep place? featured many
    different styles of electronic music, ranging from atmospheric
    interludes to broken beats, house and deep soulful techno.

    The focus point of the ?From a deep place? CD has been the listener
    rather than the dancer and was received
    enthusiastically by the electronic music community. Some of the works
    were edited to more dj friendly tracks for
    the vinyl release of the album. During the summer of 2007 Joris has
    been touring with his new live performance in support of his album
    release.

    More recently, Joris has been focusing on collaborative efforts
    producing remixes for respected and diverse artists such as Robert
    Babicz, Nic Fanciulli, Slam, Steve Angello, Sebo K and Jerome
    Sydenham. The ?Dark Flower Magnolia Mix? for Robert Babicz turned out
    to be another summer anthem in electronic dance music, and was a
    favourite of DJ?s like Sven Vath, Dubfire, Pete Tong and John Digweed
    among many others.

    In 2008, following the success of his resident advisor podcast, Joris
    was invited to produce episode 14 of the Balance DJ mix CD series from
    Australia. Following in the footsteps of James Holden and Lee
    Burridge, Joris constructed a layered and seamless mix of electronic
    dance music on a double CD. An epic mix in the very bestm sense of the
    word, Balance 014 achieves the rare feat of combining variety and
    consistency, making it perfect for trainspotters and dancers alike.
    The tracks change quickly and quietly, but the groove stays. An
    accompanying world tour will follow where Joris will bring the essence
    of this studio project to the stage, using all different elements of
    the mix into a full range club experience.

    Having established himself as a leading producer and DJ, Joris will be
    embarking on a new project called ?A green night?. Inspired by his
    surroundings, which is never limited to the dancefloor, Joris and his
    team will be creating a night in several festivals and clubs,
    exploring the possibilities of combining music and visual arts. This
    year theproject will be developed, tested and finetuned in selected
    clubs.

    As a DJ and live performer Joris Voorn has joined an elite group of
    international DJ?s whose musical talent has acquired global appeal. He
    has performed across Europe, Japan, Hong Kong, China, Singapore,
    Austsralia,
    Russia, Brazil, Colombia, Israel, Detroit, Chicago and New York.

    Technasia biog

    For thirteen years Technasia has created a unique east/west fusion
    that moves seamlessly from the Paris club scene, to the streets of
    Hong Kong, to the hippest techno venues in Europe. Founded by Charles
    Siegling and Amil Khan in 1996, Technasia thrived as a duo for almost
    a dozen years. Now, Charles has gone solo, taking Technasia into 2010
    as a one-man project. Unlike a Hollywood divorce, the parting between
    Siegling and Khan is truly amicable. Hong Kong-based Khan retired from
    Technasia to spend time with his young family. ?You have to live this
    scene every single day,? says Siegling, ?It?s very consuming, Amil
    didn?t want that anymore.?

    Despite the change, Siegling has always been the ?front man? in terms
    of DJing and performing live, so Technasia is as thrilling and
    full-bodied a live experience as ever. If anything, Siegling is even
    more determined to infuse every aspect of Technasia with his utter
    absorption in sound, the passion born of 25 years engrossed in
    electronic music. Born in Paris and raised in an 11th century chateau,
    Charles grew up listening to everything from Depeche Mode, Jimi
    Hendrix to Legendary Pink Dots and Einstuerzende Neubauten. His
    music-loving dad even introduced him to early British rave tunes. As a
    university student he continued his musical education the clubs of
    Paris listening to the likes of Derrick May and Robert Owens; and
    taking note of the records Laurent Garnier and DJ Deep played on their
    radio shows.

    In the mid-90s Siegling, who did a degree in film studies, went to
    check out the Hong Kong cinema scene. There, a mutual friend
    introduced him to Amil Khan and after they discovered a shared taste
    in electronic music, Technasia was born. They chose to base Technasia
    and their record label Sino in Hong Kong because there was no scene
    there, no record shops, no underground, no infrastructure. It was
    initially a battle for survival, but the location is vital to the
    Technasia ethos of music as communication. ?Language is THE ultimate
    barrier,? says Siegling. He strives to overcome the barrier in his own
    life by picking up languages wherever he goes ? he speaks Mandarin,
    Cantonese, Spanish and Italian, among others ? but ultimately he
    chooses to communicate through sound. ?Electronic music is the
    greatest language of all. No words, just the vibration, the emotion
    and the beat.?

    Charles has a burning ambition to create music that transcends
    cultural barriers, and to captivate every audience. The proof of his
    success is in the list of clubs and festivals Technasia has played.
    Fans around the globe, from China, to Colombia, to the Czech Republic,
    know Technasia?s classic anthems including ?Force?, ?Oxide? and
    ?Evergreen?. And they know that every Technasia show takes the music
    to new heights. When DJing, Charles always plays on three decks,
    showcasing the old-fashioned arts of cutting and scratching. Live,
    Technasia takes audiences on an unforgettable ride. Charles literally
    becomes a one-man band, playing keyboards, percussion and acoustic
    instruments. He even sings. Anything to create irresistible energy and
    atmosphere. ?I want my audience having fun,? explains Siegling. ?Not
    falling asleep, or going off to the bar for a beer.?

    The performance aspect of Technasia is complemented by artist albums
    ?Future Mix? and ?Popsoda? ? which are modern classics. Siegling is
    also an outspoken promoter of young talent, using the Sino imprint as
    a launch pad for talent including Joris Voorn, Renato Cohen, Steve
    Rachmad and young Catalan producer Dosem. He has straightforward
    criteria for what makes a Sino artist: talent and individuality.
    Charles is refreshingly direct ? he has no patience for industry
    politics ? and he seeks out musicians who have a similar strength of
    character and clarity of purpose. ?I share my knowledge with artists
    who deserve a push,? says Siegling. ?So when they are ready to fly,
    they can do it on their own.?
    2010 is a red-letter year for Technasia fans, thanks to the release of
    third artist album ?Central?. Technasia?s first ?solo? LP, ?Central?
    marks the evolution of their trademark sophisticated, intelligent
    techno. ?It represents a continuity of all the albums, it builds from
    them,? Siegling explains. ?It grew out of new ways of combining
    melodies emotions and energetic beats.? Technasia is undertaking an
    extensive tour to promote ?Central? and remix support comes from the
    likes of Marc Romboy, Mauro Picotto, Dosem and Renato Cohen. No wonder
    Siegling is bubbling with delight: ?This is my legacy,? he says
    proudly. ?This is what people will remember me for.?
