Metropolis Ensemble

Providing orchestral accompaniment for Questo's drumming, Jeremy Ellis' DJ sets and Deerhoof's art-rock, Metropolis Ensemble lived up to the lesson of Fritz Lang's 'Metropolis.': "The mediator between head and hands must be the heart!"

Questlove remained silent and imperturbable throughout the evening, occasionally nodding his head along with the music of his strings, beats and guitar licks of his Shuffle Culture. Except, of course, when he'd spring to life on the drums.
