What’s a DJ in 2009? We ask Joris Voorn

Wednesday, June 24th, 2009

DJs were confined to the turntable for a quarter of a century. They were slaves to the music. Rhythmically matching two records together was all they could do to help people dance. Then technology set them free.

CD players with loop functionality, FX units, and sophisticated mixers all helped DJs to seize control of the music in the 1990s. Software was the next phase and it is changing the very meaning of the word ‘DJ’.

Dutch producer and DJ Joris Voorn has embraced technology. His ‘Balance 14′ mix CD, released in February, saw Voorn mix over 100 tracks across two CDs, with each different track a layered construction of three or four different songs.

With mixing in parts (or molecular mixing) becoming more and more common, Beatportal decided to meet Joris Voorn to find out his opinion about what is the definition of a DJ today.

Africa Got Soul ft. Abavuki – Papa Was a Rolling Stone

Wednesday, June 24th, 2009

Papa Was a Rolling StoneClassic soul with an african beat

From the soul of DJ Stan-ley, the co-founder of Deep London, comes a deep funky house rendition by of the temptations classic, ‘Papa Was a Rolling Stone’. This sun-ripened remix takes a slice of classic soul from South Africa, originally featured on the album ‘Africa Got Soul’ by Abavuki, and adds a touch of sub-tropical bass, making an audio cocktail perfect for this summer’s massive club sound systems.

Papa Was Rolling Stone (DJ Stan-ley Ingroove Vocal Mix) first appeared as a promo on Deep London 2009 Miami WMC sampler, which reached number 10 on Traxsource’s chart.
