Slow Dance ’25
17/20 - Hani Hooper - Surely
Hani Hooper is an experimental artist, vocalist, and cellist whose sound blends alternative, electronic, and ambient influences. Using live looping, effects, and layered cello textures, he creates performances that feel raw, immersive, and unpredictable. His music explores contrast — acoustic and digital, structure and chaos, stillness and noise.

After a years hiatus Slow Dance celebrates the start of their 10th Anniversary with return of their lauded yearly Compilations, released in full on 13th March, a varied summation of both the year passing and the year to come in new UK underground music and around the world.
It represents the labels 10 years of curation and space within the landscape of Alternative music. Predicting new avenues, and key artists from various scenes and spaces outside the industry. At 1h20mins the compilation works to mirror the playlist culture this generation is tied to. A more subdued and darker affair this time, featuring old and new faces, this collection of sounds from their bedroom or studios marks the political turmoil and global instability we have all faced in 2025, with a look of hope to the future.
