CLICK HERE TO BUY ON BEATPORT | PREVIEW ON SOUNDCLOUD
If you’ve been to a Rejected event within the last year, chances are you will have heard either label master Joris Voorn or commander in chief Edwin Oosterwal mixing in Poze’s uplifting remix of Ruben de Ronde’s ‘Stoer’. It has been their secret weapon for some time now, always provoking an immediate reaction from the crowd who sink into its deep, relaxing rhythm and swirling grooves.
Stepping up the pace is German DJ and producer duo Kruse & Nuernberg who add their own interpretation of the track. With their straightforward and modern approach to creating house music, we can trust them to bring the party vibe to everything they touch. Their deep and percussive remix breathes a piece of summer into the motion with lush tones and crisp breaks. Finishing off with a dub version, the guys strip things down for one final, ass-shaking strut.. ooo yeah!
Joris Voorn – Dusty House | Room 6 – Out Now
BUY NOW ON Beatport | PREVIEW ON Soundcloud
Ahhh we remember it well… The summer of 2009. Each and every year theres one record thats universally tagged as the ‘Soundtrack of the Summer’. These, more often than not, party anthems have their seed steadily sown. From the producer to his close group of friends. A fizz of excitement. Then the lucky ‘Tastemakers,’ who play it each and every set. The buzz grows as the track soon takes hold of every dancefloor in every party destination. Whilst the timescale of this exciting air of mystery and suspense has shortened over the years, each year there will always be that one track that defines the summer party season. Some seasons debate may rage over the awarding of the title, but in 2009 there was never any question…
That summer saw the first release from Rejected’s ‘Dusty House’ series as label chief Joris Voorn dropped ‘Room 1′, a two tracker that was set to not only become the biggest club release of the year, but one that also instigated a filtered house revival. Whilst ‘Empty Trash” occupied the unenviable B Side and garnered great support, it was the lead cut “Sweep The Floor” that really stole the show and set the scene alight. The cheeky filtered stabbing number with its huge party-starting drops became the DJ’s ‘go to’ record and even found itself soundtracking feature trailers on BBC Radio 1.
With other artists commandeering the rooms of Rejected’s Dusty House, including fellow label owner Edwin Oosterwal, its been a while since the label boss Voorn has been in residence. Now he’s back and ready to drop his next brace of hits. “Spank The Maid” finds the Dutchman in a mischievous mood as he builds and drops with an organ riff and cut up vocal. On the flip Joris brings the 80′s hollywood synths and rattling snares to create yet another essential club cut.
“Spank The Maid” is set to feature in Nic Fanciulli’s upcoming Balance mix and we’re bringing it to you… Right now. Enter the Dusty House and check out Room 6 now!

Toronto’s Daniel Dubb makes a return to Rejected for the first time since his 2010 release “Bring The Heat.” This time, not only is he joined by fellow Canadian Adam K on the lead cut of his new EP, but he is also given the honour of hosting Room 5 of the Dutch label’s successful series of ‘Dusty House’ releases.
The Dusty House series was kicked off back in 2009 with label boss Joris Voorn’s now legendary “Sweep The Floor” heading up Room 1. The filtered house styling of the release ruled the summer season and the series gained a huge following as Joris was joined by Nic Fanciulli and fellow label boss Edwin Oosterwal, who both took control of their own rooms in the house.
Heiko Laux & Teo Schulte – “Polyrhythm” out now
BUY NOW ON BEATPORT
Heiko Laux was one of the very first artists to grace the Rejected catalogue with his double-header “Mirabella / Zeitluke” back in 2008. Renowned for his emotional and powerful productions, Heiko is also the owner and driving force behind the legendary German imprint, Kanzleramt.
The success of Heiko and his label is the result of an incredible level of musical consistency and it is this quality that has kept both at the forefront of modern electronic music since 1994. 2011 has seen Laux in imperiously productive form and whilst his techno persona has shone on the likes of Soma, Truesoul and of course Kanzleramt, we have also seen him heading into deeper and slower territory on releases such as “Can’t Unspill The Milk” his co-production with Teo Schulte on Suol.
Teaming up with Teo once again and returning to Rejected for the first time since 004, Heiko presents a stunning trio of mixes of, “Polyrhythm.”
Joris Voorn vs Moby – “After The After” out now
BUY NOW ON BEATPORT | PREVIEW ON SOUNDCLOUD
Amsterdam label, Rejected are proud to announce a special remix of techno pioneer Moby from their very own head honcho, Joris Voorn. The on-fire producer has delivered a brand new re-work of ‘After’ taken from the American stalwart’s tenth studio album, Destroyed which has since seen a series of remix packages through the Little Idiot label. Now, Joris’ remix will be made available through Rejected’s usual digital platforms in addition to a limited edition 12″ vinyl. Taking Moby’s original, Joris injects a club sensibility with rolling bass and punchy beats. Instilling his unique feel for dancefloor-funk, the Dutchman adds plenty of soul to remix, leading the original away from its darkened edge and into the light. Subtle melodies and progressive keys build purposefully throughout the track to deliver yet more party fodder from Joris Voorn and Rejected. This will keep you dancing After the After!!

Rejected look to round out the summer and call in the autumn with a track that has been igniting floors all season for label chiefs Edwin Oosterwal and Joris Voorn. “Mike Loves The Horn” also sees a Rejected debut for two artists who individually have rapidly risen to the top of their game.
Canadian producer and Rawthentic label boss Carlo Lio has enjoyed a whirlwind couple of years. As an artist his sound sits proud within the far reaching realms of Techno and Tech-House. Having spent the summer enjoying the delights of his Barcelona base, he also found time to step into the studio with friends, one of which being, Coyu. Spanish producer Coyu has followed a similar musical trajectory to become one of the most in demand young producers of today. As a label owner he has also seen his Suara imprint go from strength to strength and become a home to many an established name.
“Mike Loves The Horn” finds the pair in full party mode. Borrowing heavily from the legendary Jon Cutler, we are treated to a funky guitar riff, which is soon overpowered by the aforementioned ‘Horn’. Both underpinned by the strongest of kickdrums. Edwin Oosterwal steps up on the remix and takes the original on a twisted run. A blunted filtered bass pulses throughout, backing a fearsome kick drum as the original’s guitar is fed through the wah wah. Fine performances from all involved…It’s yours!
Rejected at Fuel Grand Closing!
Next to their 15 years on stage celebration at Trouw Amsterdam this Saturday. You can also catch Joris Voorn and Edwin Oosterwal together with Eva Maria at the Grand Closing of Beach Club Fuel this Sunday September 18 in Bloemendaal aan Zee. We’re already looking forward to the weekend and we hope to see you there! 
Deetron – “Starblazer” on Rejected!
Whilst we are used to finding the lush anthemic techno of Deetron on our sister label Green. We couldn’t be more excited to be welcoming the Swiss artist today with two fresh cuts and a debut, for Rejected.
More suited a Rejected double-header you will struggle to find, as Deetron delivers in outstanding peak time fashion. “Starblazer” growls and grooves from the off. The snare rolls announce the piano, and we are treated to an escalating riff, culminating in a classic ‘hands in the air’ moment. Bass and piano lead the way on the flip too, as “Solar Surge” certainly brings the heat as its oldskool dubby bassline rolls along and its piercing key riff stab throughout.
Both tracks are set to have a major impact on the summer’s floor, as of course one would expect from Deetron productions.
