A DJ competition in Enschede started Voorn's music career. In 2002 he released an EP, "Muted Trax". This release, as well as support from Carl Craig, Derrick May and Laurent Garnier[1] made him decide to focus on his DJing career. In 2003 his "Lost Memories" EP became another underground hit. In the same year Voorn was crowned Talent of the Year at the Dutch DJ Awards.[citation needed]
In 2005 he founded the ‘Green’ which is one of the two labels which he runs with long-time collaborator Edwin Oosterwal.
