Chris Coco’s weekly radio broadcast. An eclectic selection of brilliant new music starting with house and moving on to electronica, downtempo, acoustic and all sorts of other styles loosely connected to dance and electronic music. Let tastemaker Chris Coco guide you through his selection of the week’s best new music. This Episode it’s all about retro modern, contemporary vintage and other marketing style oxymorons. In plain English, that’s music that’s sort of new but sounds kind of old and whether it’s old or new it’s like totally cool, you get me? [setlist] 1 Basic Soul Unit – Clouds – Still Music Chicago 2 Jay Shepheard – Two Much Love – Retrofit 3 Jupiter Jax – Star Cruisin’ – 100% Silk THAT FUZZY FEELING (TUNE OF THE WEEK) 4 Lapalux feat Kerry Leatham – Without You – Brainfeeder 5 Pascal Pinon – Somewhere – Morr Music 6 Pentangle – Light Flight (Tythe Remix) – Digital File 7 Peaking Lights – Beautiful Son (John Talabot’s Acetate Dub) – Weird World 8 Atoms For Peace – Reverse Running – XL 9 Various Production – Worse – Version LIFE’S A BEACH 10 Prins Thomas – Gran Paradisco – Balearic Gabba 11 Adriatic Dub Sessions – Piece Of Sunshine – Soulshare 12 Satin Jackets – You Make Me Feel Good (Deep Mix) – Eskimo 13 FCL – It’s You (San Soda’s Panorama Bar Acca Version) – Defected

Oh, this episode is, maybe the first signs of spring, because there’s more than a dash of acoustic instruments, some joyful singing from the rafters and an overall live feel from the fuzzy feeling on.So we start with some city life. that means some new house, then some very beautiful new songs from brilliant new bands and then we’re off to the islands for some gloriously Balearic business, but don’t worry, the hour ends back where we started, in the big smoke.
