Joris Voorn shines brightly as an ever-progressing talent amongst the pantheon of techno’s leading lights. He has forged a sound that’s both identifiable and individual, which shines through on fabric 83. Weaving a sinuous tapestry from the mere strands of a staggering 65 tracks, cutting, chopping and editing together ambient cuts, personal favourites and contemporary melodic techno, it’s impossible to take your ears away from this sumptuous mix for a single second.
Heavy on the techno, it features tracks by Plastikman, Howling, John Tejada, Cobblestone Jazz, Robert Hood and more; plus two new Voorn productions, “Where Have You Gone (Part 1)” and “Looks Fake Obviously.”
Voorn commented on the making of the mix in a press release: “The creative freedom I have when working in Ableton allows me to edit, mix and remix tracks in ways you can’t do with turntables or CD players. Tracks are often used as building blocks in the form of loops and samples in order to create something completely new. Tracks are usually stripped down or minimal sounding to allow for layering and mixing with other tracks. The result is a mix that is more than the sum of its parts.”
