The first of four conversations recorded at ADE last week.
Joris Voorn is a key figure in Dutch house and techno, and actually the genre as a whole.
Releasing albums since 2004, he's been a fixture on the biggest stages for basically the entirety of the intervening period, and carved out a distinctive sound without ever pandering to the fashions of the day.
He's also thoroughly nice chap who talks very well about the music and culture that surrounds it.
Stay tuned for the other three conversations coming over the course of the next couple of weeks.
