Orlando Voorn is back on Heist after his 2022 Heist Mastercuts EP and comes in with a heavy dose of soulful machine funk. Heist Mastercuts Pt. 2 has the techno and house veteran showing his eclectic style with the vocal cut "Soundsystem", Midwest inspired sample jam "High" and his Boo Williams collaborative drum workout "909". On the first Heist Mastercuts, Orlando dove deep into his archives and presented a collection of old and new tracks, showing that his music has aged well and reminding us that he's a producer still on the top of his game. He kept busy in 2022 with releases on our own label Transient Nature, Kompakt, a handful of Bandcamp only tracks, and a self-released album. The EP kicks off with "Soundsystem": a masterclass in simplicity. A steady and minimalistic groove guides you through the track, where silky vocals and woozy chords take you on a trip through Orlando's sonic universe. "High" is Orlando's take on what could easily be an old Andrés track. Here, he samples a female vocal and cleverly adds his own vocals to add depth and originality to the track. The percussion on high grooves in an effortless way and underlines the feel of this track: It's fun, cool and incredibly funky. There's a bit of Dam Swindle sauce on the mix to make sure this track hits the right spot on any dancefloor. "Day By Day" is a classic Orlando Voorn cut with a live bassline, plenty of chopped samples and a Rhodes loop that could have come straight from a B-roll of a "First Choice" recording session. It ends with a collab with Orlando's close friend Emil and legendary Chicago producer Boo Williams. The producers take a monologue from Boo Williams about working the 909 and deliver a drum workout that keeps on building energy, showing exactly what Boo is talking about. The digital package also includes an instrumental mix of Soundsytem and an alternative mix to 909, just for good measure.
