Dutch electronic producer Joris Voorn momentarily moves away from peak-time dancefloor productions on his newly announced album “Melatonin,” a downtempo and ambient focused release shaped around immersive detail.
Melatonin arrives as the companion piece to 2025’s “Serotonin” his fifth studio album and a record rooted in the dance floor. Where Serotonin looked outward to clubs and movement, Melatonin turns inward, exploring the artists relationship with sound design and melodic clarity.
Across the new record, Voorn leans into longer form textures and expansive sonic environments, shaping a quieter more widescreen listening experience.
Over the past two decades, Joris Voorn has built one of electronic music’s most respected catalogues, moving between club-focused techno precision and more expansive, melodic composition. His full-length studio albums include “Future History” (2004), “From a Deep Place” (2007), “Nobody Knows” (2014), “Four” (2019) and “Serotonin” (2025). Alongside his own releases, he has contributed to the DJ mix canon with Balance 014 (2009), Fabric 83 (2015), and Global Underground 043: Rotterdam (2020), reinforcing his role as both a producer and curator within contemporary dance music culture.
Melatonin is released March 13, aligning with World Sleep Day the annual global moment that draws attention to the significance of sleep and the conditions that shape it, nodding to the wider themes of rest, rhythm, and the quieter hours the record is designed to inhabit.
To mark the album’s arrival, Voorn will present a special one-off performance in Amsterdam’s ARTIS Planetarium.
The event will feature a 360-degree audio visual show, with Voorn performing the album live to an intimate seated audience of 320, surrounded by a celestial projection unfolding across the dome. The full length performance will be broadcast live via YouTube on March 13th release day.
