Jameszoo kicked off his career as a DJ opening for luminaries like Kode9 and Modeselektor in Holland. A committed crate-digger and cognoscente of avant-garde jazz, he moved into production work on the acclaimed Kindred Spirits label and Rwina Records. His releases join the dots between influences like Hermeto Pascoal, Sun Ra, and the leftfield beat music of the LA and Amsterdam scenes, creating a sound that’s as colorful and forward-thinking as it is chaotic and experimental. He has remixed artists like Shlohmo and Soosh, collaborated with St. Louis singer Coultrain, convinced legendary Brazilian guitarist Arthur Verocai to hit the studio for a few sessions, and recently released his debut LP *Fool*, a jazz-infused hybrid effort, via Flying Lotus’ Brainfeeder imprint. With ancient-to-future power moves like these under his belt, it’s safe to say that this zookeeper is a unique breed of astral animal.
