 On this week’s Purple Room, I went down a rabbit hole of musical collectives—artists stepping outside their usual circles to push their sound in unexpected directions. Some were side projects that barely lasted a few years, others were full-on moonlighting gigs where studio musicians made magic off the clock. I also threw in a few deep cuts and a remix or two, because what’s The Purple Room without some curveballs? The tracklist is below, and if you missed the show live, you know where to find me next week. This week's tracklistDe La Soul
