New York City’s Adhyâropa Records celebrates Bandcamp Friday today. The now ubiquitous campaign by Bandcamp (going on at least its third year) waves all normal processing fees and everything in the Adhyâropa catalog (LPs, CDs, merch, downloads) is offered at a discounted rate and all proceeds benefit the artists.

But Bandcamp Friday is just the start. Adhyâropa is also providing a subscription for $100 a year (less than $12 a month) to receive a digital download of everything in their catalog, and a 30 percent discount on physical media and march. With most subscriptions, there are various tiers. As of this writing, Adhyâropa has 150 albums in their roster.

Their highlighted release is Holding Pattern, a new album from Luba Dvorak, a descendant of the famed classical music composer. Luba is Czech-born, Vancouver-raised, Brooklyn-honed and now Houston based. Her new album contemplates the American perspective as a refugee, an immigrant and the darkening path ahead for America and world politics. As relevant as ever, Holding Pattern is a winning collection of country-folk and Americana and one of our most anticipated releases of the month. Holding Pattern is released to the world today.

Adhyâropa’s featured pre-order is It’s Never Too Late For Blues, a new album by Italian bass virtuoso and composer Salvatore Maltana. The album’s first single “Joan” is streaming everywhere.

Other featured release can be found below:

Just in time for Christmas, the label recently released the latest album from the string quartet Mr. Sun. Their album Mr. Sun Plays Duke Ellington’s Nutcracker Suite draws on Ellington’s masterful re-interpretation of Tchaikovsky’s suite.

Banjo dynamo Wes Corbett‘s new album Drift is also available via the Adhyaropa Bandcamp page. His ten-track album explores the dynamics of bluegrass music and features the likes of Sam Bush, Sierra Hull, Bryan Sutton, Chris Eldridge and Darol Anger among others.

Diary of a Fiddler #2: The Empty Nest is the new album by violinist Darol Anger. For those unfamiliar, Anger was a member of the highly influential David Grisman Quintet, which celebrates their 50th anniversary this year.

Chamber ensemble 9 Horses‘ latest release Strum features Grammy-nominated violinist Sara Caswell and is a 67-minute instrumental epic that explores eight songs and 25 instrumentalists performing at their best.

Speaking in Tongues is the self-titled debut that features Grammy-nominated musicians Rachel Eckroth (St. Vincent) and John Hadfield (Silk Road Ensemble). The album navigates electronica, jazz and synth soundscapes to create something dazzling, kinetic and highly memorable.

Joe K. Walsh‘s Trust and Love is an inspired collection of instrumental music that employs a minimalist approach to string band music. In an era of maximalism, it’s a striking release from an artist who deserves a far bigger audience.

Heard By Others II is the latest release from Saturday Night Live music director and saxophonist Lenny Pickett, who partners with dynamo drummer John Hadfield. Pickett was an early member of Tower of Power and has collaborated with some of the biggest names in popular music. Heard by Others II does not disappoint and is well worth the investment.

Mirror Image is the latest album from jazz guitarist and composer Tal Yahalom who has been likened to a young Bill Frissell. Already a perennial favorite in New York City, he remains an artist who is wide-ranging, near virtuosic and well worth the listen.

British composer and pianist Claire Cope‘s new album Every Journey (her sophomore release) under the moniker Ensemble C tackles hope, audacity and courage in a work that is equal parts stirring, kaleidoscopic and deeply affecting.

Instrumentals, Vol. 2: Mandolin Mysteries is the recent release by Jacob Joliff, a masterful bluegrass artist who looks to raise the bar for instrumental music with his 11-track near-masterpiece.

In an era where AI is attempting to thrust itself onto charts and most popular music sounds machinated and overwhelming, the roster of Adhyâropa is a reminder that good music abounds and is worth both exploration and attention.

As the holiday season is now upon us, here’s to celebrating Adhyâropa and its amazing roster of talent.
