The Slow Music Movement

Have a great 2022 everyone, let's hope it's a bit more fun and chilled than the last two. It's a New Year but the same old radio show for the ever dependable Music for Dreams radio station in Copenhagen. Kicking off on an Alt-Folk tip we soon saunter into Ambient Americana territory before going all New Age, dipping our toes into Slow Hop waters, dabbling with some French Pop and exploring contemporary Oriental electronica before a rare uptempo forray into atospheric house and kosmische vibes before floating off into another new age of New Age sunset.

There's two new releases incoming from The Slow Music Movement label. The opening track of today's show is from Ben McElroy's LP, How I Learnt To Disengage From The Pack (https://theslowmusicmovement.bandcamp.com/album/how-i-learnt-to-disengage-from-the-pack)

In the ambient Americana section the last track was from the forthcoming The Howard Hughes Suite LP, High & Lonesome due out mid February https://theslowmusicmovement.bandcamp.com/album/high-lonesome. Give them a follow on your favourite streaming service if that's your thing.

So the new show for the Music For Dreams crew from Denmark is here and it's the usual wander through slow music pastures, kicking off with some underground urban folk before heading into more exotic territory, jazzier climes, New Age spas, Electronic woods, pop pastures and ending up with a dip in the slow house pool.

Welcome to the latest radio show for Music For Dreams, as I look back through the month in music and give the podcast/streaming faithful a taste of the label's new artists and forthcoming releases. From hazy lo-fi bedroom pop to Japanese ambient, New Age constructs and microdosed Anglo-Thai folk, ethereal electronic breaks to comatosed house, it's all hear.

So another sedate trawl through the world of slow music with a healthy and long overdue global injection, not to mention those old ambient, electronic and dreamy pop favourites, all neatly packaged in an hour long audible candy bar, perfect for late night musical munchies.

So another month another selection of laid back loungadelica for the Music For Dreams crew out of Denmark. There's some eccentric electronica, Balearic balminess, ambient-sedation, far out folk and far flung rhythm, finish with an ethereal electro flourish.

So the latest show for the nice people at Music For Dreams is live and it's a slow snuffly global voyage though ambient pastures, backstreet neoclassical concert halls, downtempo alleys, jazz hiking trails & electronic avenues before ending up in your favourite boogie soundtracked summer pool party wearing swimwear.

As the sun arrives and social options increase, a bit more energy has crept back into the show which has been somewhat sedentary over the last year, probably reflecting my lifestyle during mutliple lockdowns & a wet winter. So take a wander through global roots, desert blues, pulsing slowtronica, slide into some deep ambient and maybe shake a leg to the slow house finale.

I've admired Low Light Mixes selections and work ethic for a long time, he's not one of the biggest chill out selectors on Mixcloud for nothing. Very kindly, as he was aware I was releasing a compilation called Future Folk: Friendly Faces; Different Spaces - a vivid snapshot of where folk has been, where it's at and where it might be heading, he suggested I do a folkcentric mix to promote it, and here we are.

Just for your interest the compilation became The Guardian newspaper's folk album of the month for May 2021:

As life has got in the way I haven't been able to record a radio show this month, hopefully this mix will suffice.

Another radio show for the nice people at Music For Dreams radio, Copenhagen's chill out Mafia, and it's an undulating ride through ambient fields, dub techno fjords, ethereal folk meadows, New Age rainforests, folk pastures and Afro dance savannah.
