Jourdan Bordes: A Life in Music and Adventure
Falling in Love with the Beat
In 1997, a young Jourdan Bordes fell in love with the magic of raves and dance music in New Orleans. The infamous Disco Donnie's legendary events introduced him to the euphoric energy and transformative power of electronic music. Those nights under pulsating lights and thundering basslines lit a fire in Jourdan’s soul, sparking a lifelong passion that would define his journey.

The Journey Begins
At the age of 21, in 2003, Jourdan set off on an extraordinary adventure, moving from his roots in the United States to the United Kingdom. His journey as a DJ began in earnest with residencies in Bristol and Swansea, Wales, where he immersed himself in the vibrant European electronic music scene.

After honing his craft overseas, Jourdan returned to the United States. However, his homecoming coincided with Hurricane Katrina, which devastated New Orleans and left Jourdan a refugee. This life-altering event brought him to Los Angeles, where fortune smiled upon him. He landed a job with his idol, the legendary Paul Oakenfold—a pivotal moment that ignited his career in the global music industry.

Touring with Samantha James: A Global Success
From 2007 to 2009, Jourdan toured with Samantha James for her hit album Rise, a journey that took them to Hong Kong, Tokyo, Manila, Taipei, Thailand, Australia, Bulgaria, and Mexico. The duo performed everywhere from the iconic Burning Man festival to beach festivals in Mexico, captivating audiences worldwide. Their collaboration was a global sensation, marking a peak in Jourdan's career.

New Adventures and Residencies
After the Rise tour ended in 2009, Jourdan moved to Austin, Texas, where he worked with Famosa Productions, holding various residencies from 2009 to 2011. Seeking new horizons, he relocated to Australia, where his talent earned him gigs at the legendary Home Nightclub in Sydney.

In Sydney, Jourdan secured residencies at Cargo Bar and other prominent venues, making a name for himself in Australia’s thriving electronic music scene. It was during this time that Jourdan was invited to perform on the island of Koh Phangan, Thailand.

The Koh Phangan Era: A Decade at Jungle Experience
Jourdan’s first gig in Koh Phangan blossomed into a 10-year residency at the renowned Jungle Experience Festival. During his time on the island, Jourdan formed a lasting friendship and collaboration with dance music legend Graham Gold. The duo worked together both in the studio and behind the decks, creating unforgettable music and sharing residencies at various venues over the years.

The Rise of a Producer
In 2012, Jourdan’s remix collaboration with Darren Epsilon caught the attention of Beatport, earning him recognition as one of the hottest up-and-coming producers. Over the years, his original productions have graced esteemed labels like Perfecto, Toolroom, Holystone Proton, Phonetic, Particles, Dynamica, and Black Hole Recordings.

Supported by industry titans such as Graham Gold, Orbital, Armin van Buuren, Faithless, Roger Sanchez, Joris Voorn, and Carl Cox, Jourdan’s tracks have made waves globally, charting over 20 times on Beatport’s Top 100 and earning airplay on major radio stations.

Ambassador for Music and Healing
As an ambassador for the David Lynch Music Foundation, Jourdan joins an elite roster that includes Moby, Maroon 5, and Iggy Pop. His work with the foundation is a testament to his belief in music’s transformative power to heal, inspire, and connect.

2025: Global Performances and New Horizons
In 2025, Jourdan is set to play globally at some of the best festivals and venues around the world. His schedule includes electrifying performances in Goa, India; Koh Phangan, Thailand; London; Wales; Sri Lanka; and many other destinations in between. This year promises to be a landmark chapter in his career, solidifying his position as a globally celebrated artist.

A Legacy in the Making
Now celebrating two decades as a professional DJ, Jourdan reflects on his journey with gratitude. From tearful epiphanies in New Orleans to chart-topping success and performances across the globe, his story is one of resilience, passion, and an unwavering love for electronic music.

Having managed his bookings independently for the past 15 years, Jourdan is now seeking management and an agent to help propel his career to even greater heights.
