About

Metropole Orkest and Melkweg pay homage to one of the most influential producers of modern electronic music during the ADE Opening Concert on ADE Wednesday. This October, the orchestra teams up for a one-off tribute with multi-instrumentalist and composer Miguel Atwood-Ferguson, who has contributed to over six hundred albums, films, and TV-shows. This year marks the year that the late producer J Dilla would have turned fifty years old. Dilla is seen as one of the most influential hip-hop producers of all time and has marked electronic music as we know it like no other. His 'laid-back' style took instrumental hip-hop to new heights, and his use of the MPC sampler was groundbreaking. His style is still very much of an influence on modern-day electronic music. 'Suite For Ma Dukes' This year's collaborator, Miguel Atwood-Ferguson, knows Dilla's work like no other. He and Carlos Nino created 'Suite For Ma Dukes', an album inspired by the late producer. This album grew into a series of live shows around the world. As ADE seeks the crossover between electronic music and other genres, it would only make sense to celebrate the producer's life in Amsterdam. The ADE Opening Concert will be the first time the Metropole Orkest plays the show as a special tribute to J Dilla and his legacy. Dilla's mother, Maureen Yancey, better known as Ma Dukes, is this year's guest of honour at ADE and will open the concert on behalf of Dilla's family.
