Joris Voorn, the renowned Dutch electronic music producer, is set to captivate listeners with his upcoming album, “Melatonin”. This release marks a departure from his usual peak-time dancefloor productions, embracing a more ambient and downtempo sound that focuses on immersive detail.
Melatonin serves as a complementary piece to his previous album, “Serotonin”, released in 2025. While Serotonin tapped into the energy of club environments, Melatonin invites listeners to embark on an introspective journey, highlighting Voorn’s intricate relationship with sound design and melodic composition.
Diving deeper into the album, listeners can expect a rich tapestry of sound characterized by longer-form textures and expansive sonic landscapes. Voorn’s approach here intends to provide a more tranquil, widescreen listening experience, contrasting greatly with his high-energy dancefloor hits.
Over his two-decade career, Joris Voorn has established himself as one of the most influential figures in electronic music. His discography reflects a unique blend of club-focused techno and expansive melodic creations. His studio albums include notable titles such as “Future History” (2004), “From a Deep Place” (2007), “Nobody Knows” (2014), “Four” (2019), and “Serotonin” (2025).
Voorn’s influence extends beyond just studio albums; he has also made significant contributions to the DJ mix genre with releases like Balance 014 (2009), Fabric 83 (2015), and Global Underground 043: Rotterdam (2020). These compilations showcase his skills as both a producer and a curator within the contemporary dance music landscape.
Melatonin is scheduled for release on March 13, strategically coinciding with World Sleep Day. This annual observance serves to highlight the importance of sleep, thus aligning perfectly with the album’s themes of rest, rhythm, and the quieter moments life has to offer.
In celebration of the album’s release, Voorn is hosting a unique performance at Amsterdam’s ARTIS Planetarium. This exceptional event will feature a 360-degree audiovisual experience where he will perform the album live for an intimate audience of just 320 guests, enveloped by a stunning celestial projection across the planetarium dome.
This full-length performance will also be available for streaming live on YouTube on the release day, allowing fans around the world to partake in this one-of-a-kind experience.
