Joris Voorn a dedicated mind
February 11, 2010
Following a year in which he put out a celebrated double mix CD, earned accolades for his live sets and released one of Ibiza’s biggest anthems, Resident Advisor’s Todd L. Burns sat down with the Dutch DJ/producer to take stock.
There’s a lot of words to describe Joris Voorn. But let’s go with unpretentious. From his humble beginnings in a small Dutch town, Voorn’s rise to superstar DJ status has been a measured process. A big remix here, a quality single there, a beloved mix CD, a fantastic live gig: His is not so much the stuff of legend as it is the stuff of hard work and dedication. Nonetheless, 2009 seemed to be the year when it all exploded. His Balance 014 mix has already gone down as one of the finest in the series, “Sweep the Floor” swept Ibiza and he garnered enough of your votes to hit the top 10 in both our live act and DJ poll at the end of the year. We caught up with him in January to speak about the accolades, his start as a DJ and why Ibiza has become credible again.
