Joris Voorn unveils latest production: GENOVA

A nagging techy beat with a funky undertone drives this infectious track, with monotone synth rhythms subtly rising from the depths to create a tense pressure. Moments of teasing intensity increase the drama, before a beautiful arpeggiated melody unfolds and with it brings a sorrowful chord progression. The bass follows in tandem as we head towards a sparse breakdown which strips things down to the bare minimum. A lengthy snare build recalls classic trance as the synths pulse and swell, with a hooky vocal snippet announcing the drop. After some more of that juicy groove, an extended ambient outro provides an atmospheric, heavenly ending.

Joris Voorn: “This release was created on a flight to the city of Genova. The name was just a working title, but it stuck with me over time, and made me remember playing the track for the first time on my gig that night in this beautiful city, for a few thousand people.

I’ve been working on it a lot since the first mix, and even though the energy level in the final production has gone up a bit, the soul has been left intact and now shines through even better. Inspiration for the track came from the early days of house music, where a solid groove and a strong synth stab can sometimes be all you need in electronic dance music.”
