The Slow Music Movement

A nice mixed bag this week with some post grime kicking things off before we zip around various styles from ambient to avant-folk, spoken word, soul, boogie, beats, Afro flavours new and old and then the deeper atmospheric side of the world of house and breaks. Don't forget our daily social media recommendations. No information overload, one recommendation a day, only the good stuff. www.theslowmusicmovement.org www.twitter.com/slowmusicmovmnt www.instagram.com/theslowmusicmovement www.facebook.com/theslowmusicmovement www.slowmusicmovement.blogspot.de www.theslowmusicmovement.tumblr.com/ www.pinterest.com/slowmusic www.soundcloud.com/the-slow-music-mov... www.bandcamp.com/theslowmusicmovement

So here is the first of our Lazy House mixes, exploring the slower sub 115BPM, atmospheric and diverse end of the house spectrum. Plenty of soul, lots of "house not house", psychedelic flavours, ambient techno, beatless blues, tropical touches, Balearic vibes, outernational percussion and general deepness in the mix. If you enjoyed the mix then check our bi-weekly radio show and don't forget our daily social media recommendations.

A more upbeat selection this week after last episode's largely horizontal selection. Heavy on the tropical vibes with an African leaning, vocal ambience from Reunion Island, Balearic house, fresh New Age electronica from Denmark, a perfect Americana & Electronica fusion, chilled beats, deep house, psychedelic percussive house, deep soulful Afrobeats and a disco classic to finish.

So a pretty lazy selection this week kicking off with some pulsing Russian ambient then progressing into wobbly synth beats, jazzscapes, straight up jazz, soulful Brazilian fusion, South African Molombo roots, cutting edge beats, neo-classical, fusion oddities, Afrobeats and feel good house.

So I've been meaning to get this selection out into the wild for a while as I have been getting more interested in Americana, folk and singer songwriters over the last couple of years so I decided to put a selection of my favourite modern purveyors of these styles together and as an extra twist pick a generally psychedelic leaning selection. It's not mixed as such, although it was recorded on professional DJ equipment, I've just run the tracks together as well as I could during the one take live recording so it's more about the music selection rather than any great DJing feats. Enjoy

So another show and more great brand new music. As usual anything goes and we manage to incorporate New Age meets leftfield Brazilian samba, some great ambient electronica, back in the day Balearic beat & Zambian rock, stripped back soul, twisted deep house, modern Afro Colombian and some future jazz fusion. If that is not enough to satiate your thirst for new music then check the social media below. Pretty much everyday we recommend one of our latest and most cherished musical discoveries, that should keep you busy for a bit. www.theslowmusicmovement.org www.twitter.com/slowmusicmovmnt www.instagram.com/theslowmusicmovement www.facebook.com/theslowmusicmovement www.slowmusicmovement.blogspot.de www.theslowmusicmovement.tumblr.com/ www.pinterest.com/slowmusic www.soundcloud.com/the-slow-music-mov... www.bandcamp.com/theslowmusicmovement

So off we go again another show and another eclectic selection of "Slow" music. Quite a heavy laid back tropical start before we duck into some deep modern kosmische vibes, psyched desert blues, twisted Brazilian electronica, in your face ambience, dub techno singer songwriter fusion (better than it sounds!) and then finishing off with some leftfield deep house vibes.

The Slow Music Movement was tentatively launched last year to provide an outlet for quality, eclectic, laid back music with a motto of "Lazy Days, Hazy Moments and Dancing To A Slower Groove". We're slowly ramping things up and the movement will eventually be many things but at the moment enjoy the music and check out our social media feeds which highlight some of the great music that we stumble across in our wanderings through the world of music. www.theslowmusicmovement.org www.twitter.com/slowmusicmovmnt www.instagram.com/theslowmusicmovement www.facebook.com/theslowmusicmovement www.slowmusicmovement.blogspot.de www.theslowmusicmovement.tumblr.com/ www.pinterest.com/slowmusic www.soundcloud.com/the-slow-music-mov... www.bandcamp.com/theslowmusicmovement

Even in the north of Europe summer seems to have arrived so to celebrate here is the first of the Summer Daze mix series and it's our most uptempo musical cocktail so far. Using a good imported soul liqueur we add a Balearic mixer and some hip loosening African bitters, pour it all over crushed electronic ice for that Berlin cool, garnish with some lush deep house, seasonal dub berries and pop in an AOR umbrella to finish off this warm weather cocktail. Best served on a well located terrace with a sunset view and room to move your hips as you get lower down the glass.

So most of the mixes so far from us have been fairly chilled, maybe upping the tempo a little near the end so we thought it was time to get your head nodding and toes tapping. You probably won't burst out dancing around the living room but we've put together a nice selection of soulful, jazzy, funky beats & pieces, thrown in a little Brazilian, a bit of dub, some African vibes even a bit of stoner rock and got a steady groove on just to keep your head nodding rather than let you nod off. Whilst I'm here we've finally launched the website (www.theslowmusicmovement.org) and the social media is now in full effect if you want to stay in touch. We try and post daily a new musical discovery and there are some good tips online, even if I say so myself. Feel free to make social media truly social and say hello, we're always keen to get some feedback, your thoughts or suggestions.

Welcome to the difficult sophomore Slow Music Movement radio show, always tricky but I think we've nailed it.

Welcome to the inaugural Slow Music Movement radio show,I hope you enjoy the music and if you do then hold tight there will be plenty more to come.

So here is the first of The Slow Music Movement Dub mixes and trust us there's going to be a few of these. Ever since the 60's in Jamaica dub has been gradually infiltrating the outer reaches of music production and, despite increased awareness due to the rise (and fall) of dubstep in recent years, it has never fully gained mainstream acceptance. Instead it's been lurking in the musical shadows adding it's staple traits and effects to outsider music across the genre spectrum and this mix attempts to highlight some of those backwater resting places for this most timeless of musical genres. I hope you enjoy and if you do maybe you would think about sharing it on social media? This is just the beginning of The Slow Music Movement, we have big plans but any assistance along the way would really be appreciated. Talking of social media we are totally covered so connect & stay in touch. Facebook & Twitter are updated pretty regularly with musical tips & reviews appear on the blogs.

So the second installment of the newly minted Lazy Days mix series is up for listening. It's an eclectic selection of laid back tunes mostly from this year but this time I've also thrown in a couple of older tunes that helped to connect the disparate styles. It's not easy listening lounge designed to wash over you & a good listen or two will definitely be rewarded. So from ambient to dubstep, hip hop to beats, deep house to Balearic, a couple of quirky pop numbers & a forgotten Zouk classic to finish - it's all here in a nice flowing mix which attempts to make sense of all the various styles.

So the second mix from The Slow Music Movement is here & after the soporific vibes of the inaugural Horizontal #1 mix we raise the tempo slowly, throw in a few beats & try and make sense out of various styles of music from Ethiopian, reggae, hip hop, Americana, electronica through to soul, future boogie, jazz & super slow dreamy house. The main connection between all the tracks is that they are some of our favourite chilled tunes from the first 6 months of 2016. What struck us is quite how many of those tunes we brought on Bandcamp which is one of our favourite places to go digging digitally & with the added bonus that most of the money goes direct to the artists that make such great music, if you don't know the platform check it out. So make sure you follow us as there is plenty more to come and maybe if you like what you hear you would think about sharing it on social media as unfortunately we only get paid in "plays" and "likes" & we're trying to reach out to the world :)
