format aka orlando voorn

another classic reissue by back to life !!! orlando voorn aka format

classic techno , part 1 of 2

dutch master orlando voorn with a two-track release containing some of his pioneering material as format. rightly recognised as one of a handful of artists who built the early, crucial bridges between europe and detroit in the late-eighties and early nineties via collaborations with juan atkins and output for kms, voorn’s legacy is unquestionable. winning hollands dmc championships in 1986 and 1987 was the real career catalyst and there seems to be no let up in quality since then, either as a dj or a multifaceted, multi-genre producer. these two tracks are produced in 1993 and still didnt loose their magic!damn right and jam session have that the raw charm, edge and vibe sounds so current. energetic, melodic and broken, both tracks touch on a myriad of styles but what shines through is how modern electronic styles can be traced back to this sort of fantastic, unique output. format remastered could be sitting snuggly alongside modern house, techno, uk garage, uk funky and many more contemporary styles. this is a rare chance to grab beautifully treated versions of classic voorn material.

the classic solid session needs no introduction. one of the biggest 90s house hits from amsterdam. this release comes with fresh new remixes vince watson, legowelt & orlando himself. plus of course the original version from 1991. essential to have in your collection!!!

excellent detroit tech tracks !!

solid session was originally released in 1991 on esp by format (orlando voorn) on #1 ep. this project includes a new remix of solid session by leo anibaldi on the a-side and the original mix on the b-side for the music collector.

in 1991 and 1992 he established his position in the emerging techno scene with massiv e hits under his >frequency <, >fix< and >format< aliases. producing with juan atkins and f or kev in saundersons >kms< label, he was one of the few europeans in the original detroit techno producer scene. the story of >planet ultra< ranges back to around 1997, the track was originally to be released on the danish >multiplex< label, but somehow never saw the production status
