Meet Roderik, a true aficionado of the funk, soul, and jazz realms. His passion for discovering new and groovy tunes knows no bounds, making him one of our main listeners and an integral part of The New Funky community.
​
​Roderik isn’t one for social media or the typical music hype. He’s not interested in how many times a song has been played or how popular it is. For him, it’s all about the feel. If the music grooves and has that special oomph that can’t be explained, that’s all that matters. Whether he’s diving into the depths of our playlists or sharing his latest funky finds, Roderik embodies the spirit of musical exploration that we cherish. Always in it for the music, not the noise.

TIM DEN HEIJER
Tim keeps a close eye on the funk scene when he's not working on his guitar funkadelica for The Funkstamatics; one of the hardest rockin’ jazzed-up funk groups in The Netherlands. From down and dirty hammond jams to tight grooves with a Minneapolis flavour.
