By luck, I was introduced to Slow Magic. It happened like this: he opened for Animal Collective's DJ set at the Mezzanine in San Francisco earlier this year. I went for Animal Collective, but stayed for Slow Magic. I remember walking in with my friends and immediately following the sound of drums with electric beats. Initially, we naively assumed it was Animal Collective's set. But it turned out to be Slow Magic. It was clear to us that he had completely won over the crowd.
After that night, I wanted to know everything about him. However, very little is known about him. I probably do not know anymore than I did that night. According to his Facebook page, "Slow Magic is the sound made by an unknown imaginary friend." Nonetheless, the masked producer has been dropping singles in anticipation of his upcoming album How To Run Away.
Here is his latest release titled "Waited 4 U":
It's smooth and pleasant to the ear, with that organic touch that Slow Magic gives his work. Enjoy.
*Slow Magic will be playing The Independent in San Francisco on Thursday, September 11th. For tickets, click here.
