Lazy Days #2

So the second installment of the newly minted Lazy Days mix series is up for listening. As usual it is an eclectic selection of laid back grooves and 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 and 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 leftfield pop numbers and 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.

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 developing interest in the project would really be appreciated. Talking of social media we are totally covered with just about every type of account you can think so connect and stay in touch. Facebook and Twitter are updated pretty regularly with musical tips and small reviews of great new releases appear on the blogs.

Enjoy.

Lazy Days #1 - Some Of Our Favourite Chilled Tracks From The First 6 Months of 2016

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 :)
