Brainfeeder is a record label that is run by Flying Lotus. It is manufactured, marketed, and distributed by Ninja Tune outside of the U.S.A.

Since its inception, Brainfeeder has been at the forefront of pushing boundaries in electronic music. With Flying Lotus at the helm, the label has become synonymous with innovation and experimentation.

Brainfeeder's roster boasts an impressive lineup of talented artists who have carved their own unique paths in the industry. From Thundercat's soulful basslines to Kamasi Washington's jazz-infused compositions, each artist brings their own distinct flavor to the label.

Jameszoo is an innovative and boundary-pushing artist who has made a name for himself in the music industry. With a unique blend of electronic, jazz, and experimental sounds, he captivates audiences with his mesmerizing compositions. Drawing inspiration from artists like Dorian Concept and Daedelus, Jameszoo creates intricate sonic landscapes that transport listeners to another world.

His music is characterized by its complex rhythms, unconventional melodies, and unexpected twists. Jameszoo's ability to seamlessly blend genres and create a sound that is uniquely his own sets him apart from other musicians in the industry. His live performances are nothing short of captivating, as he effortlessly combines live instrumentation with electronic elements.

Collaborating with talented performers such as Taylor McFerrin and Brandon Coleman further showcases Jameszoo's versatility as an artist. His collaborations result in dynamic tracks that push the boundaries of what is possible within the realm of music.

For Mitchel Van Dinther, the Dutch producer known as Jameszoo, a childlike innocence and wonder is the quality that lies at the heart of his debut album, 'Fool', which he calls "naive, computer jazz." Van Dinther emerged from the small town of Den Bosch in the southern Netherlands in the late 2000s. First as a DJ - with wideranging crates of avant-garde jazz, prog and Krautrock, electronic experiments and beat oddities - and then as a producer capable of impressive sonic and rhythmic incongruities. Now Van Dinther joins Brainfeeder with an album that fits right into the label's expanding take on the modern evolution of jazz music. 'Fool' began life as just a simple debut album but soon grew into something more audacious. The primary inspiration behind the album was human limitation and our struggles to achieve which, while depressing on the surface, provided Van Dinther with the necessary burst of inspiration to create work that is both personal and relatable. During the recording process Van Dinther became obsessed with classic early 1970's albums by Steve Kuhn, Arthur Verocai and Robert Wyatt. The melodies, compositions and idiosyncrasies of these works made the young Dutch producer reconsider his approach, moving him away from the colourful, electronic productions he was known for. Across its 11 tracks, 'Fool' plays out Van Dinther's journey to find a musical voice he can be proud of and which can also inspire others. Alongside Verocai, Dafé, and Kuhn, the album features a stellar cast of classical and jazz musicians including pianist Niels Broos, drummers Julian Sartorius and Richard Spaven, bass guitarists Raphael Vanoli and Stephen Bruner (aka Thundercat) and saxophonist John Dikeman. All of these different contributions and approaches are weaved together into a whole by Van Dinther, armed with electronics and naivety. At times coherent, at times seemingly haphazard, the album is always joyful.LP - 180 Gram White Vinyl.
