Bali Bandits (Jordi & Jan)

DJs, musicians in the duo Bali Bandits

Jordi de Fluiter and Jan Postma have been actively playing instruments since they were in primary school. Back then Jordi started playing the guitar and Jan started playing the drums. They met in high school where they played in several bands learning the ins and outs of musical composition and performance. When they were 18 they found out about electronic music and switched their interest to this booming musical scene. In the spare time of their business and psychology studies they taught themselves the skill of (electronic) music production. After they finished their studies, they completely focused on their music project Bali Bandits and signed a publishing deal at one of the leading dance music publishers. Because of the attention and buzz record labels were gaining more and more interest in releasing their music, which resulted in releases on major dance labels such as Revealed (by Hardwell) and WOLV (by Dyro).
