About Me

Hello,I'm JÃ¥k. 'JÃ¥k' is West-Flemish for 'Yes I do', and is also a reference to Scandinavian music. Since 1989, I'm a dj. I played music that was at that time considered as alternative: gothic, grunge, rock... After going to several folkfestivals as Dranouter and Labadoux (and ending almost every saterdaynight at 5 o'clock in the morning in the folkpub 'De Fagot' in Ingelmunster), I got into folk. From 1999 on, I tried to promote myself as a 'folk-dj'. At that time, I made a website: dj-jak.be . Unfortunately, nobody went to that website... That's why I began to put cd-reviews and concertpics on this site. Result: so many visitors that I was forced to make a second website: Folkroddels.be (translation: 'folky talkies'). Today, Folkroddels.be has 4000 visitors a day, and has about 30 volunteers (journalists, photographers, programmers, moderators, calendarists... who help me to make folkroddels a wonderfull place on the internet...I'm still folk-dj. The music you're hearing is a remix I made of a song of the group Tantra. And he're some pics from me in action (with thanks to Lieve, Bart, Jan, Roland & Martijn for the wonderfull pics):..
