This summer belonged to Joris Voorn’s fifth artist album, Serotonin, a release that reminded us how electronic music can be more than peak-time firepower. Twenty years after his debut, Voorn set aside the big-room drama to give us something more personal, more delicate, and ultimately more lasting: a melodic experience filled with intimacy, strong vocal touches, and heartfelt emotions.
Serotonin stood out because it wasn’t just another collection of club weapons. It was storytelling through sound, a record that flowed between tender reflections and dancefloor-ready moments, all tied together with Voorn’s unmistakable craftsmanship. Across its thirteen tracks, he built a narrative that touched on memory, connection, and even loss, paying an emotional tribute to his father while still delivering the lightness and groove fans love.
Tracks like Session One and Moon carried a reflective, almost nostalgic weight, while the lead single You & I became one of the summer’s most emotive dance anthems. Much like the chemical it’s named after, Serotonin gave us sparkles of happiness, but also the comfort to process life’s more difficult emotions.
Whether you played it on a packed dancefloor or streamed it during a quiet night at home, Serotonin proved to be the soundtrack of the season, a perfect balance between the heartfelt and the hedonistic.
One of the most moving parts of the album is its origin story. Joris shared:
“I recorded this video on March 14, 2022, at my parental home in Moergestel, The Netherlands, in my father’s study where he used to compose his music. I stationed myself in the house for a few days, to write and record some music in memory of my father. Soon after, the house was sold. This is the first piece of music I wrote and performed in this space. It later became the opening track of my Serotonin album.”
With its deeply personal roots, Serotonin transcends the dancefloor and proves that music can take you on an incredible journey of emotions.
