Backstage Intro: Meet Jordi

[Richard]

Hello Jordi (Community Rock Star), nice to meet you. Tell us a little about yourself.

Hey! I’m Jordi Kroon, I live in the Netherlands and I'm 19 years old. Currently studying media development (Web programming), but I will graduate in a few months. In my spare time I like to travel (mostly by car). Whenever we go to a city it is either I drive or nobody is driving.

So, what kind of music are you into?

I always listen to EDM mostly to my own HiTech Dance playlist. At home, at work and even when I am driving.  A few months ago I went to the Amsterdam Music Festival where the top 100 DJs in the world of 2014 were announced. The best of EDM in just 1 night! 

This week, The Flaming Lips released a full cover album of Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band. If you could have any album covered by any band, what would you choose?

Hmm hard question.. I would probably choose Imagine Dragons to cover Rivals by Kensington, but any album covered by Imagine Dragons would be great as they are one of my favorites alternative bands.

What's your favourite sound?

That's Dimitri Vegas – Find Tomorrow (Ocarina) for sure. I have waited for over 2 years before this great song was available on Spotify. And it still makes me go crazy.

Thanks for taking the time to chat with us. Before we go, what joke always makes you laugh?

I guess all programmers know this joke, but I still want to tell it.

How many programmers does it take to change a light bulb?

None, that's a hardware problem.
