When we began the Something Slow gatherings in Beate Uwe, Berlin 2015, we had no other place to go for our favourite slower sounds - we craved a cuddly friendly space where elevated music is the star. Our strict meritocratic booking style surprised some people, but we insisted on choices based on our own personal connection to the music, and so our beloved weekly gathering came to be loved and talked about - "Something Slow" became the place to debut slow music and to meet like minded slow lovers.

After 2 years of passionate slow loving at Beate Uwe, before times changed and our parties began travelling through Berlin and the rest of the world, slow raves had begun popping up all over and slow "downtempo" music became a genre that people were talking about more and more. 

Slow music artists are now in global demand at clubs, festival dance floors and online for any time of day. Artists like Viken Arman, Monolink, Ninze & Okaxy, DWIG, Powel, Troja, Mimi Love, Rampue, Mira, Arutani, YokoO, Iorie, Jacob Groening, O/Y, Niju, Just Emma, Kleintierschaukel, Stephanie Szankay amongst hundreds of others have played for us over the years. We are SO PROUD and JOYFUL that they have been so successful in bringing their unique and soul-warming music to the world!

and with that we introduce this Something Slow "ULTIMATE" PLAYLIST of Slow Love that we've felt since 2015 until.... today!

About the EP-*
Mahakali (Sanskrit: Mahākālī, Devanagari: महाकाली), is the much revered Hindu mother goddess of time, death and doomsday. 
She is the divine Goddess of the Universe in her most fearful and powerful form. She is also the consort of Mahakala, the god of consciousness, the basis of reality and existence. Mahakali in Sanskrit is etymologically the feminized variant of Mahakala or Great Time (which is interpreted also as Death), an epithet of the god Shiva in Hinduism. Kali and all her forms are the different manifestations of Mahakali.   
Mahakali's origin is contained in various Puranic and Tantric Hindu Scriptures (Shastra). In these She is variously portrayed as the Adi-Shakti-Goddess Durga, the Primeval Force of the Universe, identical with the Ultimate Reality or Brahman. She is also known as the (female) Prakriti or World as opposed to the (male) Purusha or Consciousness, or as one of three manifestations of Mahadevi Durga (The Great Goddess) that represent the three Gunas or attributes in Samkhya philosophy. In this interpretation Mahakali represents Tamas or the force of inertia. 
She is described as an abstract energy, the yoganidra of Vishnu. Brahma invokes Her and She emerges from Vishnu and He awakenes. 
She is the Goddess of time.

PREMIERE // Noori by Lost Boy 

Water (or liquid) element (āpa-dhātu)
kosha.bandcamp.com/album/apa-dhatu

Water element represents the quality of Liquidity or relative motion. Any matter where relative motion of particles is in prominence are called water elements.
Apo-dhātu or āpa-dhātu should be the combined nature of fluidity or viscosity, solubility and perhaps a few other similar features of any fundamental piece of mass. Although water could have been mentioned by Buddha as the best example of this nature, any solid or liquid or gas would possess its own extent of this nature.

INCOMING : Vicky Montefusco - Smart (Zakmina Remix) #SideUpWorks

"В наши дни Баския, (художника нет в живых уже более 30 лет) по праву признан одним из классиков современного искусства. Он - легенда. Когда-то живописец виртуозно трансформировал дарованный ему Всевышним талант в две ипостаси, где первая из них это уличный философ Samo, а вторая - модный рисовальщик Жан-Мишель Баския, чья картина, через три десятка лет после смерти её автора, ушла с молотка за 110 миллионов долларов.

В основу моего трека лег отрывок из фильма режиссера и художника - Джулиана Шнабеля - «Баския» (1996) с целым созвездием талантливейших артистов Джеффри Райтом, Майклом Уинкотом, Бенисио Дель Торро, Клэр Форлани, Дэвидом Боуи (в роли Энди Уорхола!!!) Деннисом Хоппером, Кристофером Уокеном, Кортни Лав, Уильямом Дефо и Гэри Олдмэном в роли самого Джулиана Шнабеля (режиссера фильма), который лично знал Баския, поэтому в своей ленте рисует его портрет крупными, правдивыми мазками ни капли не сомневаясь в том, что знакомит будущие поколения с творчеством и личностью гения.

Из этой картины я взял диалог Жана-Мишеля с сотрудником службы спасения, положив его в основу данного трека. Получилась зарисовка в стиле dark disco с элементами acid, которую с большим удовольствием представляю вашему вниманию." - https://soundcloud.com/samir-kuliev

Face down, cheek sticking to the hot leather, he gripped the sides of the bed as the needle dragged across his skin in a continuous motion. He grimaced as it scaled the bone on his shoulder, before relaxing the corners of his mouth back into a smile. Although the discomfort remained a constant, he couldn’t help but enjoy the thick black ink penetrating his skin, over and over again. For him there would always be pleasure in pain.

Predominantly known for his series of collaborations, most notably alongside Palmbomen II and Innershades, Dutch producer and DJ Betonkust has taken his machine-driven creations to labels like Dekmantel, Pinkman and 1080p. For his new solo outing he crafts four acid-drenched recordings for Rotterdam’s Bar Records that are tinged with the melancholic harmonies and bittersweet melodies he’s become synonymous with.
