Joris Voorn Unleashes Long-Awaited Fifth Studio Album, Serotonin

Joris Voorn

Acclaimed Dutch artist and electronic music mainstay Joris Voorn releases his long-awaited fifth studio album, ‘Serotonin,’ via his label Spectrum in partnership with Armada Music.

Spanning 14 tracks, ‘Serotonin‘ is the culmination of years of personal evolution and musical exploration. Written over several years in his studio, on tour, and at his childhood home in the Netherlands, the album’s creation spanned a period in Joris‘s life that possessed significant emotional challenges, but as the title suggests, is firmly fixed on a strong sense of positivity and euphoria for the path ahead.

Featuring brand-new tracks like ‘Utopia‘ with Goodboys, alongside acclaimed singles including ‘Burn‘ with Tom Walker, ‘Seventeen‘ with YOTTO & White Lies, and ‘You & I‘ with Nathan Nicholson, ‘Serotonin‘ spans a broad emotional and sonic spectrum, capturing an artist in full bloom.

From ambient soundscapes to melodic house and immersive techno, the album remains unmistakably Joris Voorn—always warm, organic, and unmistakably Joris Voorn.

Much of the album took shape during a powerful moment of return: in 2024, following the passing of both his parents, Voorn spent time in the family home for one final visit. There, at the piano his father—renowned composer Joop Voorn—once played, Joris recorded the album’s powerful opening track ‘Session One.’

“That time was raw and emotional,” Voorn shares. “I reconnected with the piano I grew up playing, which shaped the soul of this album. Despite the circumstances, the music that came out was instinctively joyful.”

“This album really reflects how I’ve grown into my own sound,” he adds. “I’m not chasing trends—just making something honest, hopefully timeless, and able to move people on the dance floor.”

In celebration of the release, Voorn recently performed a sold-out set atop The Shard in London, and continues his global album tour.

Listen to the album below.

Juan Hansen returns to Watergate Records with two-track EP, “Hundred Secrets”

The world-renowned DJ and Producer Juan Hansen returns to Watergate Records with his brand new two-track EP, “Hundred Secrets”.

Marking his first solo outing on the Berlin-based imprint, the Argentinian producer and outstanding live act continues to evolve his unique blend of live electronics, emotive songwriting and dancefloor drive.

The title track, “Hundred Secrets“, is a striking collaboration with French maestro Damon Jee, fusing Juan‘s atmospheric touch and vocal depth with Damon‘s gritty, slow-burning tension. The result is a cinematic, late-night anthem with a dark romantic edge.

On the B-side, “Lost” sees Juan stepping into more introspective territory, layering haunting melodies and analog textures into a hypnotic solo piece that showcases his singular sonic identity.

With Hundred Secrets, Juan Hansen once again proves his ability to blur the lines between electronic storytelling and club energy.

For Lara, this release marks more than just the music itself. It’s a step towards reclaiming her artistic voice and the chance to celebrate her journey and path ahead.

Here’s what she had to say about the release:

“I feel a mixture of nervous and excited to be releasing ‘Love Me Right’ again in 2025. It’s the same recognizable vocal but with a totally new vibe, and we’ve already had such great feedback on it, with some even saying they prefer it to the original. This time around, I get to be the artist that I authentically want to be.”

The rework preserves the uplifting essence of the original while enhancing its club appeal, delivering a polished sound that feels tuned for 2025.

Pairing crisp, expressive vocals with a dynamic production that blends nostalgia with modern energy, Angel City’s vocals steer the track with clarity and warmth as shimmering synth lines, energetic bass grooves, and rhythmic layers create a powerful foundation for her melodic phrasing to carry through.

It’s a track that honors Angel City’s roots while making a bold statement about the direction of her artistry today. With a video on the horizon, Lara is embracing the chance to pair the track’s vibrant energy with a visual that matches:

“I feel really passionately about putting out music that makes people feel good, and this track is one that gets you up and dancing no matter what you are feeling like! I can’t wait to release the video for this one. I’ve been really enjoying working with the dancers on something unapologetically theatrical, colourful and fun.”

As she hints towards an upcoming video, as well as new collaborations and further releases to follow, Angel City is stepping confidently into this next chapter, driven by purpose, dedication, and a clear creative vision.
