Zoo Or Zen
Hai there! I've got this song "Zoo Or Zen", which features as the last(!) song on my new album "196Tree". Well, the strange thing is that it is the most popular song on Spotify... and I guess elsewhere! On Spanish radio too. Can someone translate this DJ at around 1.31.40?
Well, google translate "helped" a bit:
"Warning for the listeners: we enter 1 of the strangest segments of the program, rare sounds, which fit well with the most traditional music. A song from Joostvd from his new album 196trree. Real madness of the progressive funk in quotation marks. It is an album that I certainly only recommend to the most adventurous, since the songs get crazier and crazier. The album closes with 'Zoo or Zen', the nicest, most traditional song. This is how experimental this project of the seasoned multi-instrumentalist from the Netherlands sounds."
Thanks for listening!
On 10 june it aired on CDS RADIOSHOW (Wurlitzer Records 2x43 Rock y blues)

Music Police
Hai there. Someone has been nice.. don't know who but thanks anyway! They call themselves music police. "Keep The Temperature" has been chosen for this list.
Chart information (dutch)
Free40 puts together the Free40, the Indie Chart and the album Chart together. A number of independent music lovers put together these lists. The goal is to bring new music to the attention of the audience. Free40 is also an ambassador of 3FM and Scout for Musicfromnl.
Free40
How is the Free40 compiled? The list is compiled by the 'Neuzen van Nederland', music lovers who search the internet for releases of (new) bands and artists and/or who send their personal list. The new acquisitions are listened to and assessed.
alternative charts in other countries are also followed. Reviews on the internet or in professional journals are also important. And, last but not least, readers are tipped a lot about striking new singles. The FREE40 is compiled based on these criteria. The Free40 is followed by many DJs and people from the music world because the list has a signal function. Many well -known bands had their first hits in the Free40. Do you still miss singles in this list? Let us know and mail your tip (s) to mail@free40.nl. If you want to be 'Nose' for the Free40, mail us at mail@free40.
Inde Chart
The Indie Chart is a weekly alternative list in which new independent Dutch releases and downloads are arranged. So no Anouk, Golden Earring and Blof, but Dutch artists without a record label or who have a contact with a small label.
The Indie Chart is compiled by a number of independent music lovers who eavesdropping promos and MP3's that we get in or ask for yourself And so every week come to a value judgment in the form of a 'hit list'. We realize that we are a kind of 'music police', but then of 'the good kind'. The songs cannot be voted for consciously, because then we will receive lists of fans, so that the same songs are in the list for weeks. We want diversity in the Indie Chart.
where it once started in 2006 with a top 10 and 2 years later a top 20, the Indie Chart is now a fully -fledged Top40 list. The only chart with pop, rock, electro, singer/songwriter and other genres from the Netherlands that is put together independently. In this way the Indie Chart supports many new Dutch bands and artists and contributes to promoting music from Dutch soil.
The Dutch media unfortunately pays far too little attention to Dutch bands. We think that's a shame. Serious Talent is a good initiative of 3FM, but only a few bands are eligible for this. Bands with fewer 'radio -friendly songs are not covered. And there are many good Dutch bands. It is a shame that they will not receive more attention on the Dutch radio stations. The Indie Chart covers that gap in any case. To info@free40.nl. Or send a promotion to our mailbox; Look for the addressing on our contact page. The song is then eligible for the Indie Advice List, the 'Tipparade' of the Indie Chart. Even a listing in the Free40 is in the offing, so that the single is in the spotlight.

Keep the Temperature Down promo
Hey there! How to promote a new album better than some eye candy. O yeah promotion... As a musician I can't help but feeling a little bit awkward to be featured in a video, posing lip-sync stuff, but on the other hand, a funny, self-mocking one can do no harm that much. Something I'll always strive for is to keep it upbeat and not to be taken too seriously. No pretensions in me, just a DIY attitude understates what you'll get to see (still a lot!) as I've used a lot of Instagram effects to enhance the experience.
Any messages behind the song "Keep The Temperature Down"?
Overall a call to cool things down! Hey, hey Joost!

196Tree
196Tree
Late December 1963. The year I was born. Just after JFK had been brutally killed. And then Bang the Beatles happened.. and the Stones, Who, Kinks followed and...
196Tree
Is the title of the new album (20th digital album) and it will be released on 3 june 2024, again distributed by AMADEA music.
The song ideas came in as huge waves of inspiration and I just happened to be there, grabbing all of those in time! Excitement again. I still play everyday, strumming, singing old covers or smoothtalking piano chords and melodies with eachother. I couldn't wait to nurse these 14 brand new songs and make them happen. A lot of ping-pong playing, trying out and out of the box thinking got me through the days in working out all of the arrangements. More deep delving occured, daring myself, more challenging than before. So the songs are all over the place I guess, eclectic to the core.
Yes, no blood, but a lot of sweat and tears of joy! Hard work? Many, many details, but worth it. No pain, no gain. Mostly it was pure fun.
The covers
Well as the title suggests, it's about a particular year. I've made this album in my sixtieth year around the sun. So what about a photo collage? 3 became tree. A tree of pictures. So a search for a history in family snapshots of myself began. A lot of music connections were added too. Some of you may even recognize yourselves! So if you do and you think it's not appropriate, call the office immediately!
So without further ado....
Next: a movie! Aha. Yes, show me your 196Tree promo video!

JoosTherdin
Back in public. What's up?
A project.
Yes, all instrumental ditties folks for the first time on Spotify. Songs from 2000 till around 2016, some have never been released (!) The idea behind this project was the demand in instrumental music for video makers, background music purposes. A few have been used through the years.
First released in 2014, next to my regular releases.
So another name for this pure instrumental stuff and no, no artist name either:
JoosTherdin (Dinther is my last name so I shuffled with it a bit)
For the new regular release, you don't have to wait that long anymore either, as it will be released in June I hope. A video is in the works. Very excited about it all, of course! Updates will follow.
Here are the links to the first volume of For Your Pleasure (a title I've chosen as a tribute to my favourite Roxy Music's 1973 album):
