Twenty years ago the foundations of SlowHill – the sonical exploration group - were laid by saxophonist <a href="spotify:artist:3444FAqjOpZGe7qdyshHg1" data-name="Tapani Rinne">Tapani Rinne</a> and <a href="spotify:artist:58hBHoSWiqnAIkvL9RdrOR" data-name="DJ Slow">DJ Slow</a>. The original idea was to sample the classic Blue Note jazz catalogue and fuse it with hip hop beats and influences, such as scratching. Debut album “<a href="spotify:album:2AZkApduJUtpQ5hiHBlybt" data-name="Finndisc">Finndisc</a>” was released appropriately by the legendary <a href="spotify:playlist:6NKfiiKqwsfCAjcYgufale" data-name="Bluenote">Bluenote</a> itself. Ever since, the kings of Finnish chillout have gathered together every few years and concocted a new thematic mix of soothing sounds.
Their latest project transcends beyond the boundaries of a traditional album – it’s a three-way collaboration under the theme: One sax, two turntables and three letters. This time they have joined forces with the contemporary artist EGS, known for his global graffiti art and other visual projects. His thought-provoking exhibitions have been seen in major cities around the globe: Amsterdam, Sydney, Barcelona, Helsinki, New York, Modena and London.
The trio forms a new, exciting entity – SlowHillxEGS is a band that can’t be booked for a concert or doesn’t give autographs in a shopping mall. Their appearances are rare as they create new chill hop sounds while simultaneously forming a work of art at the same time.
