It's just a case of adding Blend to your shapes:

Start off by creating the base shapes like so



The add a blend between shape 1 and 2 in the image above and you'll be left with thise (after adjusting the steps)

Object > Blend > Make >

Object > Blend > Blend Options

You'll be left with something like this



Then repeat the same steps between shape one and two in this pic

You should then be left with an image that looks like this





All you need to do then is apply the colour to your first and last shape so it blends between them. and repeat for the inner blend and you're done!

That's it for the main effect, anything else will be post effects like noise for the grainy look.

You can use "Blend" from "Object" menu and build the shapes between outer and inner path.
This is how you can do it:


Draw the outer and inner shapes and choose their colors
Select both objects
Go to Object/Blend and click on Make
Again go to Object/Blend and this time select Blend options
In the dialog set "spacing" on "specified steps"
Set the number on something like 20
Select OK
Now you must have what you wanted
