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 Update - November 17, 2021

Rosie Tee - Earth, Embrace me In (Self Release)

I can't imagine anyone not having some form of 21st century climate angst to some degree, but not only is Rosie Tee at the vanguard of musically expressing this fear, when most artists ignore it for more commercially palatable material, she is doing it in an utterly unique, avant-garde but compelling manner. Using her academically honed compositional skills she nods brieftly to soul, pop, jazz, classical and electronic worlds, before putting on her blinkers and just going back to making Rosie music. A rare talent deserving your support.

Rico Manzano - El Pueblo with Felipe Silva


Monzano has been slowly carving out a beat making career for himself from his Sao Paulo home, digging deep into his country's rich musical heritage and grabbing whatever takes his fancy from Funk, MPB & the often overlooked Brazilian soul scene and giving it the boom bap treatment.

Here he teams up with  dancer Felipe Silver to wonderful music and movement effect, that captures the joy despite the hardships and the Brazilian ever readiness to launch into song and dance that is so ingrained into the populace.

Zoltan Fecso - Waves (Blind Patterns Remix)

In 2019 I released a single from Zoltan and figured it was ripe for a remix so I contacted a couple of likely lads from my then place of residence, Lisbon. Blind Patterns is the more eclectic pseudonym of the more acidic jacking rawer house sounds of Larry Quest and here he takes Fecso one hell of a sprawling journey. You decide where. Zoltan actually decided he was moving in different musical directions and didn't want the remixes released but kindly allowed the remixers to do a Bandcamp release as a thank you. I'm glad he did.

Antendex - Low Visibility

I've discovered so many artists by following Alex Ruder's shopping habits on Bandcamp, so big up (again) to Alex for introducing me to Antendex and this revived and remastered EP of some of his finest ambiguous ambient, chillout, neoclassical and folk fusions. Wonderful stuff start to finish.

NIN3S - So Far So Close (Dorado Records)




​NIN3S's revisits his first instrument love and classical piano roots, enlists some live jazz drums from the one and only Matt Cooper which slice the electronic ambient ether into a million pieces, as the unhurried keys make you forget that you're travelling at 130BPM and the world is disintegrating around you.

Session Victim & Erobique with Jamie Lloyd - The City (Eukalyptus Files)

This track has been on repeat since I discovered it and dropped it in the radio show and I'm guessing its hazy soporific soul, vocoder vocals and nice low key funk bump is going to be following me around for a while yet.

Are Morica - Mémoire Olfactive (Mare Nostrum)

Another Alex Ruder assisted discovery that I've picked up on is this ambient/ chill out gem from Morica on his own label. This is all about nostalgia apparently, but happily it ditches the melancholy often attached to look backs and lost youth, warmly focusing on the childhood joys and carefree times instead.

Kayla Painter - Somewhen (KP Records)

​
Painter is another UK producer who uses an electronic framework to carve out her singular vision rather than aping the latest trends, so take a running jump and  dive into her naggingly familiar, pleasingly personalised world.

UFO Club - Runa EP (Invisible Inc)

UFO Club (Ben to his mum) is a facilitator as well as originator, running a live electronic showcase in his Leeds home. Here he makes it out of the promoter's office to showcase his own weird, wobbly, wired worldview for Glasgow's esoteric enablers, Invisible Inc.
