The recordings of this momentous collaboration will be released via Brainfeeder on 17 May 2019.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe magic and the chemistry in the room that evening was both exhilarating and heartwarming as Buckley - Chief Conductor of the Metropole Orkest since 2013 - led the 49-piece orchestra, plus Richard Spaven (drums); Niels Broos (organs, synths, Rhodes); Frank Wienk aka Binkbeats (percussion); John Dikeman (saxophone) and Mitchel van Dinther aka Jameszoo (electronics, synths and Wurlitzer) on a truly joyful journey, elevating compositions from van Dinther’s 2016 album “Fool” to transcendental realms.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e“This was as wonderful as it was frightening,” says van Dinther. “I was in great hands being guided by Jules and the orchestra. Because of them I could hear my compositions flower.”\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eJules Buckley describes the collaboration as “a really open and rewarding process. Mitchel’s mind rolls in a different way and so, tapping the orchestra into those avenues - for me - created some really beautiful and unusual results I’m really proud of.”\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eJameszoo released his debut album “Fool” in 2016 via Brainfeeder. A curious, at times downright awkward, but thoroughly enjoyable blend of jazz and off kilter electronics, it was heralded by Pitchfork for its playful hybridity, free spirited character and innovation: “It bursts at the seams with ideas”. The record featured cameos from two outright legends: Brazilian composer Arthur Verocai and pianist Steve Kuhn; bassist Thundercat; keyboardist Niels Broos and drummers Richard Spaven and Julian Sartorius.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Ninja Tune","offers":[{"title":"2xLP","offer_id":62902881714335,"sku":"BF080","price":21.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0493\/8563\/5999\/files\/melkweg-main.jpg?v=1793802201","url":"https:\/\/merch.ninjatune.net\/products\/jameszoo-metropole-orkest-conducted-by-jules-buckley-melkweg","provider":"Ninja Tune","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
