#52 - Jordan Mafi

<p>Transitioning from a longtime fan to an industry figure, Jordan Mafi has given a voice to notable and up-and-coming artists alike and provided her own through a number of outlets. Serving as the former executive editor of NEST HQ and a host for Insomniac Radio, Jordan’s original goal of becoming a music journalist has evolved to moving the needle in electronic music. She’s currently a curator for Beatport, acting as a community manager for genres including dubstep, electro house, hard dance, and more. She’s also a curator in her own right, launching her monthly hardcore playlist series Serious Damage in 2019. As a graduate with a bachelor's degree in journalism from San Diego State University, Jordan continues to find new methods of storytelling for the electronic music community; Jordan is currently pursuing a master's degree in music industry business from Berklee College of Music.</p> <p>For your chance to hear the XO Podcast ad-free, become a XO Patreon Producer, and more please visit: <a href="https://www.youtube.com/redirect?event=video_description&amp;redir_token=QUFFLUhqbTVDdEdpRkgySDZXMW9xVVJ3VmZ6d3dFd1FKQXxBQ3Jtc0tscldXX01icTItcGo2M1VOaHVZV1l0ckkwSWVvTDNud2h2bUZFZDU3T3V2R2VDOER6alZjcFdOelZiZnpvaHdfNjBzZm1lSENvbk5mYkExQU90QktXX19JZ1N2LWdGYVpsWFdUODlzMGdwS240NGN6QQ&amp;q=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.patreon.com%2Fthisislizzyjane" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://www.patreon.com/thisislizzyjane</a></p> <p>New XO RADIO out this week ft.
