Orlando's Bio:
As one of the first Dutch musicians to establish a vital connection between Detroit and Amsterdam in the early 90’s. Orlando Voorn has long been recognized as one of the Netherland’s most original and ingenious producers in the world of electronic dance music.
Voorn began DJing at the early age of 12 years old and later went on to win his first scratch competition at Amsterdam “Club Flora Palace”. Amazingly Voorn did this by borrowing records from his competitor.
After winning that competition he continued to practice every day and was discovered by a Dutch Radio host named “Robin Albers” who was in charge of the Dutch DMC DJ Championship 1986. Surprisingly Voorn placed 1st in the Dutch competitions 1986 & 1987 for Holland which placed him in the world championships of DMC twice in the United Kingdom where he came in 3rd place 86 and 5th place 87 spinning with his own characteristic blend of hip hop, and electro music.
His first releases came in 1988 as Fix-O-Matic and Xit; two years later, in 1990, he returned as Trigger and Oscare before releasing several tracks as Frequency for Lower East Side Records. These Frequency productions were his taste of success, leading to a relationship with several Detroit techno artists: he collaborated with Juan Atkins and Blake Baxter, and Derrick May and Kevin Saunderson released some of his records on their records labels, Fragile and KMS Records.
The early '90s were a productive time for Voorn. He released tracks under an array of monikers on an array of labels, and found more success with a series of 12"s as Nighttripper and Format for ESP Records. These productions were some of the most sought-after techno productions of the era, and Voorn became a well-known producer, recognized as much for his music as for his prolific output. Furthering his career Orlando is known to have aliases to heighten his music vision and creativity.
2003 Orlando moved to Detroit to join forces with Submerge Managed by Mike Banks and Ade Mainor. He started another imprint Ignitor with Detroit sounding material but always with his own signature sound!
