Artist:	VOORN, ORLANDO
Title:	Power Of Beauty
Label:	DIVINE
Format:	12"
Price:	$8.50
Catalog #:	DR 001EP

"Orlando needs no introduction when it comes to his past and recent work in the world of electronic dance music. With over 100 releases on his belt and including classic recordings still played today. He pushes boundaries time after time. Divine is his new imprint and this first single Power of Beauty is a tribute to the founders of house music. This is not one of those records attempting to keep it real and not pulling it off, this is a masterpiece and Orlando steps it up a couple of notches on this EP. A serious Chicago like house affair here and already getting great response. The title 'Power of Beauty' represents exactly what you hear, beautiful lush strings combined with slick drum programming and a guitar-like solo over the top. Taking it to the next level. 'Love Break,' which was originally produced in the early nineties with long time friend Blake Baxter is also featured on this EP along with the original and is nicely reprogrammed and chopped up. Also considered a classic in both techno and house environment. As a bonus track there is 'Beat It Up,' a track he made years ago with My Shorty One, which is Orlando's wife. This is a sexy track with whispering vocals on top of a house groove and erupts in a big orgasm at the end. This EP is a must have for every true house fanatic!"

He strives to imprint his own identity and influences to take the music one step further."

Title:	Basic Bastard Vol. 1
Label:	IGNITOR
Format:	12"
Price:	$7.00
Catalog #:	IGNTR 1006EP

"Ignitor debuts the Archives series, long lost and unreleased tracks that have stood the test of time, from the archives of Orlando Voorn. Originally released in 1993, Basic Bastard Volume 1 shows off Orlando's ability to switch up styles. Minimal Soul is a house funk track, featuring jackin' Todd Terry style drum beats and vocal samples with minimal keys and bassline. 'Moments in Measures' is a quirky techno piece, filled with analog squelches, electronic melody and militant drums. 'Take Me Away' rounds out the EP with a homage to the lush Detroit Techno that fuels Orlando's work; full strings and syncopated bass and percussion lay the bed before flutes and effects send this track soaring."

Title:	Basic Bastard Vol. 3
Label:	IGNITOR
Format:	12"
Price:	$7.00
Catalog #:	IGNTR 1008EP

"The second release in Ignitor's Archives series takes us back to 1994. Basic Bastard Vol.3 is unrelenting in it's drive and melodic soundscapes. Bounce features rhythmic chords over a rolling bassline with driving drums and sparkling melody, an absolute monster for the dancefloor. 'Deep City', takes you there, into the gray area between melodic techno and house, a must for fans of Red Planet and Stacey Pullen's Cosmic Messenger work. 'Signals' features a growling hook of a bassline and eerie strings led by swinging hi-hats -- sinister techno reminiscent of Suburban Knight on Transmat."

Title:	Ignitor
Label:	SUBMERGE
Format:	CD
Price:	$15.00
Catalog #:	SUB 3026CD

"Orlando Voorn has proven through time to be one of the most prolific electronic music producers of all time. Orlando has produced electronic music over the years over at least 30 different monikers on too many record labels to count, but despite the great volume of work, it has always remained at a quality level that few can attain while remaining surprising and quirky, Every track has its own personality. Orlando is not the type of artist that will think up one good approach to making a record and then crank out 20 more in that style till everybody is sick of it. He chooses to innovate and experiment with new sounds and beats every time he steps in the studio. When Orlando Voorn came to Submerge Recordings everybody was excited to see what he did next. On his own label, Ignitor, Orlando came forth with a flood of great and innovative tracks. This compilation represents what we think are some of the premier musical moments in the Ignitor catalog as well as some tracks made for Electrofunk Records. This compilation we believe is one of the finest and most compelling albums we have ever released at Submerge Recordings. If you don't know who Orlando Voorn is by now you will definitely remember him after taking a listen to this."
