daltonists is an experimental trio [genre: leftfield jam], referring by name to color blindness, an inborn defect of vision. The handicap of human nature has become the idée fixe of the lineup, the main inspiration and motivation for creation. The musicians combine the colors of contemporary jazz, Afrobeat, dub, African and club music.

Despite their short existence (June 2021), daltonists have become a revelation on the local scene, playing at several prestigious festivals in Poland, including Jazz Jantar, True Tone Festival and OFF Festival. During the Crossroads Showcase Festival in Ostrava won a special award for the best act chosen by music industry professionals and that ended with invitations to other festivals in 2026/2027. The band’s debut mini album titled “daltonists” was released on May 9, 2024, and its Youtube version proved to be a sensation, garnering a huge number of positive comments from around the world. Their tracks are often played by leading DJs on radio stations in Poland and Europe (Soweto Kinch - BBC 3, Tom Ravenscroft – BBC 6/RinseFM, Marcin Harper – 4th National Polish Radio).

2nd album "gradient" was released in November 2025 with Folded Music, UK based record label and publisher, with support from PR Agency – 7AM Music Promotion (Blockhead, Emancipator, Arms and Sleepers, Asta Hiroki).

A partially sold-out concert tour across Poland and Europe promoting the first album took place in spring 2025, and another tour promoting the second album is planned for spring/summer 2026 in Europe and Canada.

Sounds like: Todd Terje playing BadBadNotGood.
