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.
It’s Christmas week, there’s no denying, which mean everything stops, we look back at the year and get a little melancholy and tearful about all those magic moments and lost opportunities. So, instead of a countdown or a chart or anything too nerdy, here’s a selection of tunes that will help with the contemplation of time passing. The songs are taken from some of my favourite albums of 2012. And I’ll tell you about them briefly as we go along. OK? Good. Let’s do it.
