Getting Something for Nothing with Joeri Pronk's New Album

Joeri Pronk is a multi-talented Dutch producer and musician based in London who brings a unique and organic sound to the world of electronic music. His music incorporates sounds from nature, such as running water and crunching stones, and combines them with synthesizers, drum computers, and other sound sources. He records his own drum sounds and incorporates samples from everyday life into his tracks.

Influenced by jazz greats like Pat Metheny and Jaco Pastorius, as well as modern artists like Four Tet and Radiohead, Pronk's music is both cerebral and playful, fitting in both a club setting and at home. He has worked with artists such as Matt Bianco and Blaudzun, and has been called to substitute for musicians who’ve played with Adele and Yussef Kamaal. Currently, he splits his time between London and the Netherlands, where he leads the Tante Joke Karaoke Band. Originally started as a joke, the band has grown into a club and festival phenomenon with audience participation and fun at the forefront.

Joeri Pronk's album "Music for Nothing" is his first release, published by London label Goeie Records. The opening track "Moltien" is a jazzy electronic composition featuring Pronk's soulful bass playing set against a backdrop of subtle pads and an arepeggiated groove. The tracks proceed naturally as Joeri treats the listener to the sonic fruits of his labor with music sitting loosely within a variety of genres such as downtempo, lofi and electronica. The album, recorded in a week, showcases Pronk’s unique ability to make music that is both infectiously simple and indelibly personal.
