Afterย โRingoโ,ย Joris Voornโs beautiful dedication to his firstborn son, became his most successful production (over 20 million Spotify streams to date), the Dutch producer now reveals its follow-up.ย โRyoโ is his new single, made in honour of his youngest son, Ryoma โ and itโs equally stunning.
โThe optimistic and positive nature of the melodies suit him very wellโย explainsย Joris.ย โI created the melodies when playing around with my new Prophet-6 synthesiser. The quick 1.5 minute stereo recording of the synthesiser became the basis of the song. I tried replaying the synth pattern many times afterwards but wasnโt able to recreate the same feeling, so I had to use that very first recording to make the final version of the song.โ
Dreamy chimes breathe life into the track as a time-stretched percussive loop slowly emerges. A hazy synth arpeggio rises amidst delicate pads, building to a restrained crescendo to introduce the succinct beats. Graceful string sounds continue the chord progression as delicate acoustic guitar plucks add to the heavenly feel. The understated bass compliments rather than dominating, and the sweet breakdown lets the guitars shine even more with soft acid licks rising to the drop. An additional arpeggiated line and deft chords greet us at the drop to complete the euphoric feel.
Bonus trackย โNoaโย is another mesmerising journey. Its beatless, ambient vibe makes it a perfect home listening experience, or a tool for layering during sets. A hypnotic synth arpeggio with gorgeous delays morphs throughout the track with uplifting vocal samples, warm pads and gentle bass tones completing the mood.
โSince the day I played โRyoโ in my sets, a bit less than two years ago, many people have asked me about the songโย saysย Joris.ย So Iโm happy itโs finally out there!โย This glorious EP will be released on his new Spectrum imprint, which is the name chosen to tie together with his well-established syndicated radio show and event series.
