Global Underground Joris Voorn
- Edited
To those that don’t like what they have heard so far, give the last hour and a half a listen. There is some cracking techno and euphoric moments in there. He’s trying to achieve something different and it often succeeds, particularly in the transitions.
Baumel’s GU imentioned earlier is a more orthodox mix but the second half is much better than the pedestrian first (it often is), although unlike Voorn’s, I already knew half of the tracks on it.
I’ve collected the GUs since the start. At £55 the collectors editions are silly prices but it’s a little luxury and I spend only a fraction of music that I used to. I’ve always appreciated the photos and sleeve notes - makes it a bit more than just a listening experience.
Voorn’s mix is a bit bland until the last 20 mins and although CD2 takes it up a notch unless you’re into the techno sound it’s a lot of cash for a cd that will get a couple of plays.
After Baumel it would have been good to take a different sound on other than Techno.
Voorns mix is technically superb with all the tracks is doesn’t sound messy or disjointed, rather a bit bland for non techno lovers.
Are the two fat lads back in control of GU? Didn’t they sell the label to MOS ages ago?
Itunes version is fucked with it being the single tracks only? Anyone confirm? Ta
mono-stereo Think it was more MOS picked it up from administration but may be wrong.
Wally Yeah, that rings a bell.
Voorns multi track wankathons have always been budget. S to the werve
I wan’t even a massive fan of his Balance.

Still wanking over Oakenfold’s NY though?
Good to hear from you Derm!
And Sasha Ibiza 013
Cd1, obvs.
Enjoying this so far - wouldn’t say I’m a techno lover tbh - appreciate he’s tried something a bit different and I think it works.
Saw the deluxe / collectors edition, serious bit of kit. I’m assuming this is in the same vein to his Balance mix? Lots of minimal tracks that work together?
Balance on roids.
