Tosca

I foreshadowed this week's spotlight on my Kruder & Dorfmeister post from last week which ended with, "Dorfmeister also works on a side project that is also played on my radio show, Jazz Essentials called Tosca." 

Richard Dorfmeister and Ruper Huber met in school and would experiment with tape machines, Indian Music and poetry under the name Dehli9. The duo would separate and then regroup in 1994 under the name Tosca (Tosca(band)).

Tosca is generally categorized in the electronic subgenre called: downtempo. Downtempo music is generally chilled electronic music that in Tosca's case has a jazz aesthetic (Downtempo). 

To date, Tosca has released 6 highly critically acclaimed albums (Tosca(band)).
