Max HeyraudThis week’s Local Selection comes from burgeoning young artist JOR, who weaves potent strains of trance, techno and bounce into a high-energy package that nods to the past while looking towards where the sound can go next.
JOR has been making his mark on Ireland’s rapidly evolving club landscape, with a growing presence across the country and a sound that brings together techno, trance and hard bounce into something built for high-intensity moments. His productions channel a pacey, euphoric and physical energy, leaning into the tension-and-release dynamics that sit at the heart of a great dancefloor record.
With millions of streams across platforms and growing support from DJs across the world, JOR is quickly establishing himself as a producer with a sharp understanding of what makes a dancefloor move. His rise has been matched by an increasingly recognisable approach behind the decks: fast, forceful and unrelenting.
For his Local Selection mix, JOR brings together nostalgic trance influences with the raw energy of modern hard dance, moving through euphoric melodies, driving rhythms and high-impact bursts. Fast-paced and dynamic, the mix captures the tenacity that has become a defining feature of JOR’s sound, both in the studio and behind the decks.
