Discover the Depths of Deep House with Slow Motion’s Latest Single ‘How I Feel’, Setting the Stage for Upcoming Album ‘Weapons of Peace’.
In the ever-evolving landscape of electronic music, few artists manage to strike a perfect harmony between the genre’s pulsating energy and the tranquil serenity of its more laid-back iterations. Brazilian DJ and producer Slow Motion is one such artist, carving a niche for himself within the deep house domain with his textured musical narratives. With the anticipation building around his debut album, “Weapons of Peace,” Slow Motion offers a glimpse into this forthcoming musical odyssey with the release of its lead single, “How I Feel,” out Friday, 5th April on his own label, Ref City Records, via Empire Dance.
Early Career and Breakthrough
Slow Motion‘s journey into the electronic music scene was catapulted into the spotlight in 2016 with a remix collaboration of “Drinkee” by Sofi Tukker with Vintage Culture, marking his initial big break. Yet, it was his 2020 remix of Jorja Smith and Maverick Sabre’s hit “Slow Down” that truly set the stage for his ascent in the electronic music world. Amassing over 250+ million streams on Spotify and 100+ million views on YouTube, the track not only showcased Slow Motion’s adept skill in blending influences but also secured the top spot on Beatport’s Deep House charts while consistently charting on Spotify’s Global Viral 50.
Creating a Musical Identity
“How I Feel,” the serene new single from Slow Motion, serves not only as an introduction to his album “Weapons of Peace” but also as a testament to his growth and refinement as an artist. The track, characterized by its laidback house groove, mellow keys, and a soulful vocal sample, encapsulates the essence of Slow Motion’s approach to deep house—textured, emotive, and deeply personal. It’s a sound that both innovates and pays homage to the genre’s roots, promising an album that’s as much a journey through soundscapes as it is a showcase of Slow Motion’s artistic vision.
Expanding Horizons
2022 was a year of significant expansion for Slow Motion, marked notably by the launch of Ref City Records. This venture not only solidified his place within the industry as a curator and influencer but also provided a platform for showcasing original material and nurturing rising Brazilian electronic talent. Coupled with his first U.S. headline tour, Slow Motion’s initiatives have paved the way for a broader exploration of electronic music, underscoring his commitment to both his own evolution and the promotion of the genre at large.
Looking Ahead
With “Weapons of Peace” slated for release on 26th April, the anticipation among fans and critics alike is palpable. As a collection of 15 tracks, the album is poised to be a pivotal moment in Slow Motion’s career, offering a deep dive into the nuances of deep house music and its capacity for emotional resonance. Slow Motion’s aspirations for the future are as expansive as his music, with a desire to continue exploring new territories and pushing the boundaries of electronic music.
