Joris Voorn – The Navigator [Spectrum]

Navigating us through these topsy turvy times, Joris Voorn whisks us back to a 92 state of mind with this powerful update of a stone cold Dutch techno classic.

Originally produced by The Tellurians (AKA Robert Smit, Ferry Corsten, John Matze and Rene de Ruyter) the original ‘Navigator‘ was a humungous hit across Europe and helped to define the exciting European sound that was emerging in house and techno at the time. Now, 29 years later, the Spectrum boss closes the loop with sincerity, clarity and some seriously heavy bass.

Lowering the tempo, fattening the groove, bringing that demonic one-word vocal to life and adding weaves and weaves of little production details, ‘Navigator’ has been modernised with subtlety and dark nocturnal soul. Already a key track in Joris’ ‘Global Underground 43’ mix album last year, this marks a whole new lease of life for a track that’s older than many of us DJs and ravers alike. Released as the entire scene enjoys a whole new lease of post lockdown life.
