Ireesh Lal is a multi-instrumentalist and programmer whose debut solo EP– ETHNOTRONICA – combines original electronic music with exotic East Indian elements alongside the distinctly Western tones of the jazz trumpet, creating a captivating new sound. Currently based in Venice Beach, CA, Lal sites Thievery Corporation, Miles Davis, and Ravi Shankar as three of his influences, and you can hear traces of each artist on his new release.

Built on top of brisk programmed grooves made irresistible with lush Eastern dimensions of tablas, ouds, and guitars, Lal lays down commanding trumpet lines to convey the melody, taking the lead amongst the cool, heady swirl of each tune. The instrumentation is beautiful and fascinating without a dull moment to be found throughout the entire EP.
