Mitchel van Dinther, better known as Jameszoo, has deftly managed the transition from DJ to producer to artist. Signed to Flying Lotus’ Brainfeeder label, the Dutch experimentalist rose to prominence in 2016, with the release of “The Fool,” an eclectic and provocative album that combined elements of jazz, prog rock, and electronic music, and featured hugely-respected musicians like Arthur Verocai and Steve Kuhn. In 2016, he opened up to us about how the album came together.
“It was pretty nerve-wracking at points, but I think being a DJ helped in creating a vision of where I wanted to go as an artist.”
