Dream Rider: JDG
With features in Complex, Dancing Astronaut, & Tonspion, and supporters including Anna Lunoe, Martin Garrix, Jauz, Zeds Dead, Knife Party, and Tiesto, headline sets around Australia at Chinese Laundry, The Met Brisbane, The Attic, and HQ Complex, alongside additions on Unearthed Radio, guest spots on Triple J’s Mix-Up and Friday Mix, Melbourne-based producer JDG continues to carve his own niche among Australian electronic artists.
But if you really want to dive deep inside the mind of a touring artist, a good way to find out their desires & needs is to know whats in an artists hospitality rider. For those of you who don’t know a catering or hospitality rider provides information on non-technical requirements to support the artist’s performance, such as meals, transportation, accommodation, and size of the artist’s team.
There has certainly been some ridiculous requests from artists we have toured over the years and we thought it might be good to showcase different artists on their most extravagant hospitality riders.
To celebrate his new release In My Eyes Ft. Kaypo which comes out this Friday we asked JDG what his dream rider was. His very tasteful and frankly amazing idea is down below.
My dream rider would definitely be,
A green room with:
• Point Blank & Street Fighter Arcade Machine
• Pool Table
• Private Bartender
• Candy Bar
• Woodfire Oven with a chef making pizzas
• Footy on the big screen
