About Us
The Slow Music Movement is an independent blog born from many years of music experience, from vinyl collecting, music retail, distribution and brand soundtracking to DJing and promoting parties and live events in London, Barcelona, Berlin and Lisbon.
​
It's human, driven by curiosity and a passion for sharing alternative music from independent artists. It's herbal antidote to the corporate algorithms and "AI" recommendations designed to keep you in your musical echo chamber and make companies more money. The Slow Music Movement credits people with intelligence, and whilst providing plenty of familiar vibes is also about taking listeners out of their listening comfort zones by showcasing obscure, unknown artists and oddball music. Go on, I dare you.
Sure there is a strong focus on lazy & hazy vibes that are perfect for those chill out moments, but hold tight anything can happen and so it should - from cosmic jazz to deep dub, post punk to futuristic electronica, outsider folk to Balearic warmth and twisted neoclassical music, it's all good, check it out.
​
Finally, there's roughly a hundred thousand tracks released every day - that's an insane amount of music, and sadly much of it is commercial and crap, not to mention the recent and rapid increase in AI generated musical slop, which shouldn't be let anywhere near a speaker let alone an ear drum. Any sane person needs filters to make sense of it all and find the good shit. The Slow Music Movement and other blogs are here to help.​
