Universo Positivo is back in 2025 with their next release from label family Orlando Voorn & Amsterdam Flutist, Han Litz.
Techno icon, Orlando Voorn, has long been a pillar of the Dutch scene forming an essential link with pioneers of the sound in its birthplace of Detroit. He made his mark across the decades hopping between diverse genres and has collaborated with legends like Kevin Saunderson, Juan Atkins, Blake Baxter and Amp Fiddler with his releases gracing labels like Rush Hour, R&S and Housewax.
On this New Year beauty, Voorn collaborates with Flute maestro, composer and arranger, Han Litz. Fluent in a wide range of styles and genres, performing with Jazzanova, Osunlade, Louie Vega, Patrick Forge and DJ Deep, Litz was one of the founders of spiritual jazz ensemble Kindred Spirits.
This EP opens with ‘What I Love (Original Mix)’ - a soulful fusion of house and jazzy swing beats with a laidback timeless vibe. The title cut also gets a ‘Soulfood Mix’ which maintains that languid feel while fattening out the beats and shining a light on Han Litz’s delectable flute flourishes and Orlando’s vox. On the flip we have some classic Orlando Voorn deep house vibrations in the form of ‘Composers’. Deep and driving, this tune will have crowds rocking well into the late-night hours. ‘Composers’ also get a ‘Downtempo’ refix which is equally as heavy.
This is toe tapping, head nodding business from Orlando Voorn, with the mesmerising jazzy funk flute from Han Litz who provides the cherry on top. Lovingly crafted to captivate and elevate the soul, whether you're a DJ, or a dancer, you will appreciate its deadly grooves, percussive layers, jazz energies, and Orlando’s luscious meditative loops. Add in the smooth vocals and gorgeous flute, and we have yet another unique release from the rising label.
