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 - June 24th, 2020

Long body - Dream Running (G.C.R.)

Vertical Divider
If you want to know how Ibizian sunset bars and space station spas will sound like in 2065 then I suggest getting ahead of the game, dusting off the deckchair and hitting play on these sedentary, summer & spacey sounds from Long Body.

CHRIS COCO & LUCA AVERNA - MARE (BANDCAMP)

Talking of Ibiza, if you want a lovely summery listen, steeped in the classic chillout sounds of the island, then you can usually rely on Chris Coco, someone who has spent an unfair amount of time on the island and knows what it's all about.

ZAZIM SOUNDSYSTEM - Ayé (xxiii)

Vertical Divider
I love it when music comes along that doesn't obviously remind me of anything else, and this futuristic blend of Afro-Latin sounds, rhythms and percussion fused with heavyweight bass pressure is as fresh as they come.

Essa - Justice (Bandcamp)

This Bandcamp Juneteenth release from Essa, a black lawyer who also happens to be a rapper, is one of the most comprehensive, articulate musical summations of the current sad state of race relations and racial injustice in the UK.

Miles Singleton - BLMTAPE (BOYOOM)

This was another Bandcamp, Black Lives Matter release to raise money for The Bail Project and is a consummate exercise in less is more, atmospheric, instrumental beat making.

THE STANCE BROTHERS - RESOLUTION BLUE (WE JAZZ)

The Stance Brothers are always worth checking for a Finnish drum driven twist on the funk. This time the brothers adopt a playful, perky approach on their latest 7" for the prolific and always worth watching out for, We Jazz records.

Jimi tenor - Sugar And Spice (Philophon)

Vertical Divider
Jimi Tenor's ongoing relationship with the Berlin based Philophon label is a joy to behold, may they have many offspring. With this latest 7", Jimi brings yet more cosmic Afro jazz vibes to the table, with a deep, heavy B side cut and some vaguely camp, soul crooning on the slightly lighter A side.

Petros Skoutaris - Tropika (Into The Light)

Into the Light are doing a great job in discovering little known gems from Greece's musical history and these four tracks of Balearic jazz funkiness, rescued from a forgotten CDR recorded start of the millenium by the sadly departed Petros Skoutaris, is another delight.

Central AYR Productions - Dirt Music (PPU)

Vertical Divider
I'm loving these two filthy cuts of Moodymannesque late 80's electro funkiness and proto houseiness. Watch out for an LP of more Florida funk nastiness coming later in the summer apparently.
