Release Info:

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 part 2’ has the techno & 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 us 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. Somehow, he found the time to work on his follow up ep on Heist and managed to completely blow us away with the music.

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. Orlando moves into freak mode with a trippy lead and dubbed-out keys to add some playfulness to an already outstanding track.

‘High’ is Orlando’s take on what could easily be an old Andrés track. Here, he samples a female vocal (I get high, I get high, I get high), 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.

On the flip, there’s ‘Day by day’: 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. The b-side 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 -yes with the 909- 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. This is the first artist release in our 10 years of Heist anniversary year and this EP perfectly encapsulates the Heist Sound: varied, deep, soulful, and banging.

Yours sincerely,
Maarten & Lars More

Tracklist:: A1: Chronophone ft Mike Anderson - In The Sunset (Werner Niedermeier remix) B1: Chronophone ft Mike Anderson - In The Sunset B2: JMII - leo
info:
Subwax Excurssions, the trippiest arm of the multifaceted label family pivoting around Barcelona's via-Sweden most active electronic agitators, has a fifth record on the pipeline. After some brilliant efforts -including the comeback of long forgotten Jordan Fields and a brand new album from Rush Hour's new totem Orlando Voorn- the label presents a split record meant to highlight the work of two middle class workers of the club scene whose works are screaming for some recognition.
On the first side, Chronophone teams up with Detroit's vocalist Mike Anderson on a Motor City House affair called 'In The Sunset'. The original track goes straightforward to the dance floor employing pounding rhythms and a catchy bleepy bass that serve as the perfect grounding for Anderson's dark vocal intonations. On the other side, Barcelona's JMII -of the duo Aster- show us what he's learnt after signing releases on 100% Silk, Hivern Discs and Mathematics and hits us with 'Leo', an uplifting mix of off-kilter Juno sounds, 707 drum hits and vocal samples extracted from a well known Soul song sampled two decades ago by Rave enthusiasts Altern-8.
Germany's House veteran Werner Niedermeier rounds up the release with an atmospheric remix of 'In The Sunset', adding some dramatic strings and round pads and taking Chronophone's original into deeper territory.

Track list: A1: Among The Kloudz B1: Keepin' It Together
Old-Skool Acid House Alert! These tracks were recorded by Jordan Fields in Chicago during the late 80's. Just recently re-discovered on reel to reel tapes and as soon as we heard these beauties, we knew the world needs to have these on vinyl! Starting off with "Among The Kloudz" which is a very raw & mental analog groovin' acid-house track. On the flipside you'll find "Keepin' It Together", a warm soulful but yet club friendly Mr Fingers, Virgo Four alike track. This EP is for all the true Chicago heads, enjoy!
