Hi everyone,

Here's what we have on tap this week:

Friday's Inside Track brings you a different kind of dance music with Tomaga's The Shape of Dance, the fourth album from this London-based duo of percussionist Valentina Magaletti and bass player/ electronic musician Tom Relleen. Together, they step away from typically structured music to explore experimental improvising on various percussion, bass, organ, modular synths and many other sounds. A smattering of industrial noise and psyched out jams, many of the tracks have a percussive grooves to the give the Dance some Shape.

Monday's Outside Track is a subtle debut of cold-weather music from Berlin-based musician Carla dal Forno titled You Know What It's Like. It's plain-speaking art pop over simple drum machines and ambient whirring and rustling that's got an atmosphere appropriate for "in-between days" (as dal Forno herself claims) or evoking an "ominous cathedral vibe." Tune in to contemplate existence with some music perfect for a dark December night.
