Melodica: Tunes of the year

Chris Coco’s award winning 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 – some tunes of the year, not THE tunes of the year, but some music mostly new and some old, that has made a big impression on me to the extent that I hold these virtual goodies close to my heart. Aaah.

The Circle: Jazz Christmas Special

Brought to you by Arctic Circle Radio, the Circle takes you on a one-hour journey based on the most simple and significant of shapes. Every Circle is unique; formed from a guest curator’s musical landscape and they all share the same revolutionary quality: each one ends at the point where it began.

Edition 68 – Dolly Dolly’s Jazz Christmas Mix – A time for swinging! Oh yes! Every groovy hepcat and kitten snaps their fingers to the groovy yuletide beat! There are beatnik poets, cool vocalists, keyboard kings and big band bouncers. Hold hands and dance around your Christmas tree! Play air double bass! Improvise some scat singing over Jimmy Smith’s Jingle Bells. Swoon over Cleo Laine’s Blow Blow Thou Winter Wind (surely the sexiest Christmas song ever?). Get your Nan’s knees up after the figgy pudding to Santa Do Mambo by Big John Greer! She’ll love it!

Presented and produced by Ben Eshmade (with additional sounds and magic from Sone Institute), the Hut is a one-hour transmission from an intensely beautiful musical world.

Tonight is a special Christmas show with music from Sufjan Stevens, Low, Nancy Elizabeth, Ian Hawgood, Laura Veirs and Balmorhea.
