Jesse Voorn
Jesse was born in 1975 in the south of Holland and from an early age he was introduced to music by Both his parents, who were classically trained musicians, and he followed up on that by taking piano lessons.
As a teenager however, he picked up on hip hop and rock music in the late 80’s and went on for a different kind of music.
In the early 90,s, when he started to party he discovered dance music, and realized that dancing wasn’t enough; he wanted to make people to dance . He started to buy records from early hip hop to old school acid, techno and drum ‘n bass and started spinning, mainly on small parties from friends. In 1994, just for the fun of it, he produced a couple of house tracks with two friends, which were received well but never released. After a time of wandering around, Jesse Voorn ended up in Amsterdam, where his career as a Dj started.
And now his name is buzzing around everywhere. The Dj rocks all dance floors of Holland’s most renowned clubs and dance events, like Dance Valley and also outside Holland his name is gaining. His unique blend of jackin’ house, tech-house, electro and techno and his an excellent choice of records gets it going on everywhere. His trashy house beats have one thing in common: they are funky as hell. No nonsense, just good music.
His first record Get It Done (Deal Records/Armada) was released worldwide in April 2007. The track created a huge buzz and the response is very good. British dance magazine DJMag rated the track 4 out of 5 stars. ‘Get It Done uses enamel-hard synths, fuzz-distortion and an almost health-jeopardizing amount of squelch. Good stuff indeed.’ Or as British DJ Dave Pearce already said: “This one really hits the spot. Dark and dirty.” Moreover the track has been spinned on Pete Tong’s show on BBC Radio 1 and there is support from Dj’s such as Marco V, Tom craft, Sasha and Mason. Jesse did a unique release party in Second Life and was therefore the first Dutch DJ in Second Life. He also was nominated Best Talent in 2006.
The new single Miki was released on the 18th of August 2008 on Abzolut/Spinnin. This track includes some nice minimal house beats, mixed up with a catchy guitar line and a big synth riff. It comes with a remix by Koen Groeneveld. There’s support from Pete Tong, Bob Sinclar, Eddie Halliwell, Tony Senghore, Style Of Eye, Judge Jules, Tiësto, Kaiserdisco and many more.
Besides all this, Jesse is an ambassador for Dance4Life, an globaly operating organisation that makes people aware of the problems around aids and hiv. He also was nominated Best Talent 2006. And Jesse started to do some producing again and right now he is working on some new tracks.
Jesse shared the decks with renowned artists such as Don Diablo, Laidback Luke, Kevin Saunderson, James Zabiela, Mylo, Derrick May, Futureshock, Stanton Warriors and 16 Bit Lolita’s.
