Slasher Orlando Voorn

Orlando Voorn's ear for energy is hugely celebrated across Detroit dance music. Reaching legendary status working with the likes of Juan Atkins and Blake Baxter, Orlando continues to invigorate with his playful styles of house and techno.

In his latest ‘Slasher EP’ on p-ertönen, Voorn sets the scene for night-dipped cruises and mesmeric subterranean clubs. Acid-infused basslines and thunderous drums rocket through the three tracks, beginning with ‘Funky Bastard’, a tasteful blend of arps and shuffling percussion. Classic sounding rises and falls populate the track, playing to Voorn’s strengths of pure Detroit rhythm.

‘Slasher’ is a violent counterpart. Wobbles of synth battle the violent drum beats in a hyper-dense match-up, showing Voorn is not afraid to experiment. The beautifully chaotic track feels intimate, while maintaining a distinct other-worldly quality.

Voorn rounds off the EP with a witty fusion of vocal chops and piano trills, welcoming play into his sonic palette. Echoed horns skip around the hard-hitting kicks with clinical precision and masterful composition. Unavoidably groovy, ‘Da Music _Remix’ is a dance track for the people.

Limited vinyl copies will start selling in early June, alongside availability on major digital platforms. One copy per customer.
