“Professor Voorn hit the brakes hard atop Quarzite Ridge and stared in shock at the valley below. Overnight, the entire testing range had grown into a dense forest of silicon spires, shimmering dizzyingly under the Nevadan sun. An alien world—crystalline, lifeless, yet constantly evolving, endlessly multiplying. At this rate, the anomaly would reach Las Vegas within two days. In the distance, Voorn could already hear the roar of the approaching bombers.” +++ ​ There's no denying Orlando Voorn's outsized influence on techno music: Fix - Flash and Format - Solid Session rank among the most beloved techno tracks of all time. He's worked with Detroit greats such as Juan Atkins, Blake Baxter, and Mad Mike, and Submerge published his excellent Ignitor label for many years. ​ Somewhat lesser known is Orlando's prowess in electro music, yet tracks like Slam or Tank - Bite Before U Bark are long-standing favorites among those in the know. His first TRUST EP, Outerworld from 2023, showcased his distinctive electro style. Now Wicked System follows it up with three more raw, booming cuts, and, like last time around, an added trap excursion that's bound to blow a hole in your speaker. +++
