Joris Voorn is the next DJ to undertake a mix for the Balance series, and has crammed 102 tunes into the double-disc compilation.

Most of the tracks used have been heavily edited, and according to Voorn, sometimes he "only used the break or the intro." Speaking about the mix on his MySpace, Voorn said that "the process of making this mix has been more like painting with sound rather than mixing the end of one track with the beginning of another. Working this way has been very interesting for me and made the project into something very different than a conventional DJ mix CD."

Long-term fans of Voorn won't be surprised by his approach to the mix, as his FUSE compilation from 2005 saw him use a similar methodology. This time around, however, he's using a higher frequency of smaller loops to create a sound collage that relies less on the individual tracks themselves. Continuing on his MySpace blog, he added that he "won't be pleasing everyone with these mixes, some listeners will be happily or uneasily surprised, but at least it's pushing my own boundaries in a technical, but even more so, in a musical and artistic way."

The sound sources for the mix come from a wide-ranging bunch of artists, with cuts from Basic Channel, Quiet Village, Goldie, Tantra, Flying Lotus and Cobblestone Jazz all featuring. Those wanting to strain their eyes by looking at the full tracklisting can do so below.

Tue, 21 Dec 2010Disc one is great, but disc two kind of loses its way for me (poni hoax? not part of my evening, thanks).

Sat, 28 Aug 2010I LOVE these discs, especially disc one, the 'Mizuno Mix'. It's rare that a modern dj can take the listener on a seamless music journey. Yes, there are many modern comps that contain good songs, but not only has Joris taken us on a musical escapade with moments, deep, transcendent, funky, dirty, melodic, creepy, dark, and blissful, but he has managed to do it in the course of the first disc alone (albeit using 52 tracks to create 16 songs). He pulls off a similar feat on the 'Midori Mix', the... More
