Hi all,
 
Here's what we have planned this week:
 
Tonight's Inside Track is Evidence From A Good Source, the debut album from Doms & Deykers, a collaboration between Dutch producers Steffi and Martyn. Having produced two EPs together in the past, this duo’s unique sound draws from each of their backgrounds. Steffi’s roots in electronica and Martyn’s UK/Detroit house sounds complement each other nicely, with different songs leaning perhaps more to one genre or the other. The record is marked by its punchy basslines, electro riffs, and some distorted vocals sprinkled in and around, which all comes together in a blend of hynoptic, melancholy, and peaceful jams.
 
Monday's Outside Track comes courtesy composer, singer, and harmoniumist Amirtha Kidambi and her group Elder Ones. The record's Holy Science, a jazz suite in four parts that aspires to an Alice Coltrane style universalism in her music. In her own words: “[Alice] was, in a way, a universalist in her music, blending her influences of Stravinsky, gospel, free jazz, the avant-garde, world music, and her spiritual practice into a totally individual sound. I really relate to that way of thinking about music and the universe.” Kidambi is currently Director of Ops at ISSUE Project Room, and has worked with Darius Jones, Catherine Christer-Hennix, and Robert Ashley. Elder Ones features Brandon Lopez on bass; Matt Nelson on sax; and Max Jaffe on drums.
