This year’s Amsterdam Dance Event (ADE) will open with ‘Jameszoo & Metropole Orkest – Fool’, a collaboration between Dutch DJ/producer Jameszoo and the world’s leading non-classical orchestra Metropole Orkest. The event will take place in the Melkweg on October 18. Tickets are now on sale.

Following up on last year’s successful collaboration with Henrik Schwarz the Grammy-award winning Metropole Orkest returns to the Melkweg on Wednesday October 18, for an evening with Dutch artist Jameszoo. During the opening night of the Amsterdam Dance Event (ADE), an initiative of Buma, the Metropole Orkest wants to take on the challenge to translate the ‘uninhabited computer jazz’, as Jameszoo likes to call his work, to an acoustic setting, resulting in a live experience of unique sounding experimental electronic music.

Metropole Orkest chief conductor Jules Buckley explains: “This collaboration between Jameszoo and Metropole Orkest for ADE just feels right. Jameszoo is an incredible artist, making a fresh statement right now internationally and I feel the combination of his compositions from Fool, reworked and presented uniquely with Metropole this autumn, is sure to lay down a marker or two”.

Jameszoo, real name Mitchel van Dinther, adds: ”When ADE and Metropole Orkest approached me I was flattered to say the least. I’m excited to see how ‘Fool’ will blossom. The Metropole is a very special and dynamic Orchestra extremely capable when in mr Buckley’s hands. I’ve never found peace in thinking the album was finished, so I’m very lucky to transform it once more.”
