About Us

The Slow Music Movement is an independent blog that evolved from years of music experiences - gig going, raving, vinyl collecting, blogging, radio presenting, music retail and distribution, brand soundtracking and DJing, as well as 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 a herbal antidote to the corporate algorithms and "AI" recommendations designed to keep you in your musical echo chamber for the purpose of making those companies more money. The Slow Music Movement credits people with intelligence and inquisitiveness, and whilst providing plenty of familiar vibes, is also about encouraging listeners to leave their comfort zones and check out unknown artists and oddball music. Go on, I dare you.

Sure there is a strong focus on lazy and 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.

​

Finally, there's roughly a hundred thousand tracks released every day,  that's an insane amount of music. Sadly much of it is commercial, generic and pretty bad, not to mention the rapid increase in AI slop, which shouldn't be let anywhere near a speaker let alone your ear drum. Everybody needs help to filter out the crap and find the cream. The Slow Music Movement, and other blogs, are here to help.​

Stay tuned.
