The Slow Music Movement Blog

​Mostly we put our daily recommendations here for the blog readers among you, although occasionally we go longform.
Reading about music is a bit like looking at pictures of food - not nearly half as much fun as getting involved, so we scribble a brief intro to hopefully whet your appetite but you're better off just hitting play. Not very "slow" I know but there's a lot of music to check these days & hopefully you'll find the recommendations a handy filter.
​Trust your ears, not opinions.

Singles & EPs Round Up - August 15th, 2020

Yoh - Holographic (Youngbloods)

Vertical Divider
It's rare I find some hip hop that hits the spot but the new EP from Yoh ticks so many boxes, it's ridiculous. The laziest of beats, some nice live flourishes, conscious thoughtful lyricism, deft delivery and some serious ambientology going on as well. On Repeat.

Dokkodo Sounds - Sea Tumble (Drift)

Amazingly this is a first ambient outing for Dokkodo Sounds who is normally more of a beat led electronic producer. All I can say is that he is off to a fine start and there must be some zen powered ley lines crossing somewhere underneath Leeds, that no one is aware of.

meeting by chance - View (Bandcamp)

Vertical Divider
Meeting by chance has been quietly doing his own thing on Bandcamp for ages, with only the odd foray into the wider streaming consciousness, which is a shame as he is a truly cultured producer of top quality eclectic chill out. Check out this latest offering and then work your way back.

Mental Abstrato - Samambaia Rainha, Instrumental (SDB)

From the Sao Paulo source, samba and jazz meet the world of hip hop in this bright and breezy, take it easy, summer slow dancer. Pure feelgood vibes.

Earthen Sea - Clouded (Bandcamp)

Vertical Divider
Earthen Sea has been busy in the lockdown, shifting the gear into the living room, playing with new toys & genre dabbling to good effect. Here deep ambient and hypnagogic techno vibes meet gentle keys & swirl around the most lethargic hip hop beats New York has ever heard.

Ian Hawgood - The Endless Sadness

Ian Hawgood is an ambient legend. Running Home Normal records for many years, mastering many of the scenes releases (full disclosure he masters the TSMM releases) & releasing many a sonic gem. Here's a short showcase of his horizontal production prowess, with three lovely short form ambient teasers & a longer melancholic number.

Lo Kindre - Dusk/Grey Skies (Phase Group)

Vertical Divider
Lo Kindre plumbs the depths of the low frequency spectrum on his latest window rattling, dub excursion. Dub techno meets chopped and screwed acid lines before ambient deep space echos flirt with Indo mysticism on the flip.

Sun Palace - Rude Movements mixes (BBE Records)

Whaaaatttt. I usually only post music that is released but this is worth shouting about early. This bonafide Loft classic, full of deep synth jazz juiciness and all time personal favourite track gets remixed by Kenny Dope and Moodymann. Take my money and keep the change.

Working Men's Club - Valleys (Heavenly)

Vertical Divider
With musical history available at the click of a button and the ability to replicate it available with two clicks, the modern music landscape is awash with sterile modern replicas of dance music classics. Here WMC somehow capture that pioneering rawness, acid house optimism & Madchester madness of '88-'92. It certainly took me back 30 years & put a smile on my face.
