And just like that, they’re here: the slow months. Big jumpers. Bigger coats. Summer just a memory. Spring becomes a side quest. Welcome to the first in a new run: Sounds of the Slow Months. My antidote. Now yours. We open with “Theme from Selva”; a mood-setter in the purest sense. The kind of track that turns the lights on without anyone touching the switch. From there, the playlist gathers itself patiently, letting groove guide the way. Nothing here is trying to impress you. But it is does hold you. When the time’s right, we reach “Long Space Journey”. It doesn’t shout, it glows. It’s that feeling of being loved in January: not grand gestures, just steady warmth, and the quiet certainty that you’re not doing this season alone. We keep moving, but it stays warm. Later, a brief nod to the dancefloor—Adeva’s “Respect”—a fleeting wink to the times we’re all thinking about before we melt back into the lushness. And then we move to landing this thing. The last stretch eases your pulse until “Falling in your light” arrives like the final streetlight on the walk home: still glowing, even as the night quietens, as the U-Bahn rattles off into the distance. That’s the point of SOTSM. You don’t need summer to feel alive. You just need music that knows what month it is. Keep dancing. Even just a sway.
