Orlando Voorn - Sometimes

Although best known for his forays into futurist techno and body-popping electrofunk, Orlando Voorn is well capable of making seriously good deep house, as this four-track missive emphatically proves. The Dutchman is in prime form on ‘Sometimes’, a leisurely and loopy slab of tactile deep house warmth built around soft-touch instrumental samples and classic soul vocal snippets. Voorn then pushes up the tempo on jazzy, chunky sample-house loop jam ‘The Same Girl’, before combining squelchy electronics and hushed house beats with more vintage soul loops on ‘In My Soul’. A rock-solid EP is drawn to a close by ‘Reality’, a much jazzier and bluesy chunk of head-nodding deep house perfection.
