Let tastemaker Chris Coco guide you through his selection of the week’s best new music. 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.

Let tastemaker Chris Coco guide you through his selection of the week’s best new music. 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.
