Let tastemaker Chris Coco guide you through his selection of the week’s best new music. This Episode it’s all about now house made with machines, then a little of that good old fashioned rock music, yes, really, there is still some good music made with guitars and singing and everything, then a little old stuff that sounds like machines, then back to the future with more machines, this time with a Balearic twist.

So, I have been in Ireland at Sacha Puttnam’s Riverside Studio, making some new music with a lot of help from the magnificent Cairan O’Shea. Here is a collection of images that have already appeared on my Tumblr and Twitter but need to be here as well for the record. There are ten new tunes with these working titles: Poly 6 100 Billion Euros Drops Simple Bicycle Café Human Joy of Six (Jam 3) Flight (Chilly) Jam 2 (Kaoss) As you can see, most of those titles will change but the music will form the basis of the next Coco album.

This Episode is blue, it’s in a funny shaped glass and it’s got a sparkler and an umbrella stuck into a bit of pineapple on the top. In other words this week’s Melodica is a bit of a musical cocktail – we have some spacy disco, a shot of new bass house, a muddle of 80s drum machines, a dash of deep meditative electronica, some Balearic indie and a splash of soundtrack jazz. Delicious.

Forget about the biscuits, this episode it’s all about a fat doorstep of bread and honey with a cup of tea, deciding whether those new albums from Ducktails, Nosaj Thing, Darkstar and Asphodells are real contenders and wondering whether Apollo will ever release something that doesn’t make it to tune of the week.
