Mudo In The Mood
So here we are! Got this message from Argentina... This DJ found my new album on the new Spotify releases and he's gonna play something from it on his radio program "Mudo In The Mood".
So Wednesday I'll have to understand what he says. A turbo course in Spanish then? Help!
Here's the podcast (downloadable) Mudo In The Mood
Eventually a song will be added to his Spotifylist link

U want Spotify playlists!?
Promotion. Fame. Money. Not my thing. Just want to create. I have this urge that's developed into a steady workflow. I'm a lucky guy! I've got the most advanced tools to bring a song alive, working eight days a week in my studio, happy to bring the vibe. My toy garden.
But if you want someone to hear your precious songs, it's unavoidable. The music market is saturated with the daily trends and bored listeners, so it's not easy to get discovered.
How to spread these all over the place these days....? I don't do concerts. I like the intensity of playing together. It has been fun for a while, but I don't miss the stage, no. Well if you do and you do it with conviction, people would love to buy a signed cd afterwards (! )
I guess everyone streams these days. It's the most comfortable and fastest way to experience a new vibe. Mostly I get in touch with curators of playlists. Let them hear some tunes. On twitter. Of course twitzkrieg is around the corner. I spread those links on facebook groups too. A lot of fakers (promoters) over there though..... You can get a lot of listeners and followers if you want...to pay for it. All I offer them are a few cents.
I think it's all about reaching your own audience and I sort of got the hang of it. I'm patient.
Quality over quantity.
Here are a few playlists with JoosTVD on it, mostly smooth vibes, some uptempo, upbeat, never dissonant. Yeah, easy on the ears, but hitting deep into the gut. So let's find out and share them!
Songs I usely offer are:
Fly Talk, Don't Do It Again, Not Now, Chameleon Girlfriend, Crest Of A Wave, Cosmopolitan Circus.

Sent Away, the digital way: Q&A
Ok, here's a Q&A with me and myself.
Gimme proof!
As you can see, you'll be able to stream my new album officially 30 April 2019. Check Spotify regularly, it takes often only three weeks over there.
AMAdea, who again handles the distribution, notes:
"It takes from 3 weeks minimum, to 7 weeks maximum to get it up and selling, once you've given us ALL the info we need. (Usually 4 weeks) Once we send it to them, it's out of our hands and they do what they can to get it imported and active in their service. We push them to get it added as soon as possible, and they always do it as soon as they can."
I was wondering, how many years...?
Ah yes! This is my 40th (!) year in the, ahum, "business" as songwriter, I guess you'd be expecting a "Greatest Hits" or another sort of a celebration box by now, do ya? Well, all of my works have been the "Greatest Kicks" I've had in my life anyway, so I don't need to be that nostalgic. I'm just glad to release more new stuff. Prolific guy!
What can we expect?
Tunes. 12 songs (two instrumental) with my stamp of typical energetic flavor of melodic pop songs with grooves, influenced by jazz, funk, R&B, latin, cabaret and humour.
When will you be famous?
When I'm dead and done of course. Legend in my own time. I'm happy with that, haha.
How do you write?
Mostly with a pen; everything that widens my eyes and opens my mouth I'll write down. I often start with the music, mostly late in the afternoon/ evening. The best songs come, when I've got a positive energy. Explosive jamming. I play around on acoustic guitar or bang on the piano. Combine a few funny or heartfellt sentences, words that fit the vowels. Sometimes it takes 5 minutes, sometimes 2 years to get to the end result.
Tell us about the recording process
Guts, sweat and beers. And a monk's patience.
When can we see that promo?
Ah, I've got two promo's for ya, they'll be up on Youtube in no time. All to watch before bedtime, before the official release, 30th april.
What are the covers and title?
I'll show them all in my next blog.
Well, anything else to declare?
Um, well, yeah, no, um....CU.
Next: Show Us The New Stuff!

Sent away to the shops!
Yep! As you can see, officially 9 may 2018. AMAdea, who handles the distribution, notes:
"It takes from 3 weeks minimum, to 7 weeks maximum to get it up and selling, once you've given us ALL the info we need. (Usually 4 weeks) Once we send it to them, it's out of our hands and they do what they can to get it imported and active in their service. We push them to get it added as soon as possible, and they always do it as soon as they can."
I'm glad. At first I was worried that something wasn't right. OMG western problems.
Done it again. Worked like a dog. I've finally decided to send my fresh babies away. Why? Because I like them too much!
Yes, I've got a good, strong feeling about these songs. More than ever I took special care to every aspect of the production process (inspiration, songwriting, playing, recording, mixing, mastering).
I think these tunes are a upbeat, sinister, melancholic, desperate but overall fun and groovy bunch, just like me. Ok, sometimes.
After a long, long ping-pong process (the details) of mixing and mastering that is. That was a very intense 3 months period, but I'm glad I didn't overrush things. These songs needed some breathing and I needed some distance from them once in a while. But now it's time I let you enjoy my new grooves.
Well on the distribution side, that will be taken care of by AMAdea (after approval) and it will take about 3 or 4 weeks to hear the album on Spotify and the like. There are so many streaming sites today, so take your pick.
I'll send a few free download links (Bandcamp) to a few of my supporters too, so maybe a few reviews will come up before the official release in may.
Watch this site for more details, news about the design, covers, promo and tell me..what about a title and.... Soon, stay stuned. Promo coming at ya!

I want my Spotify!
Hello there, just a little update for those who can't get enough news. Too much information gets in the way in the end, but hey, don't shoot the messenger!
In between that process of getting my new music together (yes it's getting there, just some finetuning to do and I'll send them babies away), I'm always roaming around the web for new possibilities, curious as a cat as I am. Some of you spotify listeners will surely have noticed a few added changes when one looks for an artist/ band, genre, mood or playlist. Like pictures, a bio and concert information. For the musician there are more tools available to promote yourself. It's all just for fun you know. One in particular is the Spotify Line-In where you can add some functional and personal info to the artist, album or song. More information leads to a better search result in the end. So why don't you try it out? Pick your favourite artist/ band/ musician (me of course), add all the tags that fit, so when we search for a certain mood, style, we always pick the best. Get comfortable.

Ok, I did it again!
Once in a while I add one of my songs to a playlist on Spotify and sometimes someone opens his ears for it. This time it was a playlist from Kahsay, a swedish musician, who wrote a few nice words for this song from my 2015 album "Lightning Dutchman". Thank U Kahsay from a fellow musician.
Have a nice weekend every1. Stay humble.....
"I have an collaborative playlist and been promoting that on different occasions and when I scrolled that playlist
a song popped out and hit my ears. It' s a dutch songwriter that
creates fantastic soundscapes in the area of funk, jazz and soul. I was
blown away by the fantastic groove in the song "Don't Do It Again". Give him a listen. He's about to release an album in 2018. I'm looking forward to hear that album."
