SLOW SOUND SYSTEM

'Quality avant chillage' BBCi 
'Quiet, considered music' The Wire 
'... a truly chilled East End space' The Guardian

We are back: the slow club returns in 2004 with a series of listening sessions, online audiostreams, downloads, remixes and digital artworks. 

The slow sound system is a collective of djs, producers and artists exploring ambient listening and new electronica.  We aim to showcase new music and art in the field: digitals, collage, audioscapes and pixel manipulation.

LISTENING SESSIONS
Our first session of the year takes place on 22 February at the Foundry, London EC2. Expect sets from French guitar manipulator Sebastien Roux and acclaimed UK producer Motion - who will also perform under his evolving Recon alias. We also have a laptop workout from the engimatic Duff Parka and a dj set from man about town Thorsten Sideb0ard. Plus resident djs iMax and Albert, and some fantastic new digital artwork from iMax and Jay Ropinsky. A slice of the show will also be broadcast live on Resonance 104.4fm, the best radio station in the world. 

Full info to follow, with more sessions planned for March, May and through the year. Join us.
