Melodica: anywhere but here

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… We’re in the woods, we’re on the beach, we’re in the sunshine, we’re in the summer, we’re floating in space, we’re in the past and in the future, we’re anywhere but here.

The Hut 38

Welcome to the Hut; a weekly velvety soft sonic celebration brought to you by Arctic Circle Radio. The Hut is a refuge, a cocoon of the finest in new music, spinning a warm glow from the outer-reaches of the snowy wastelands. 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.

Edition 38 with music from 13 & God, Directorsound, Three Cane Whale, The Goldberg Sisters, Polar Bear and The High Llamas.

New to Chill, February 24 2018

Lots of new tunes to share with you on Chill this week – enjoy!

Astron – In The Clouds

This is on the Sound Therapy label which does what it says on the tin. It’s a beautiful piece of heavenly ambience which has had over 2 million plays so far on Spotify.

 

Goldmund – Circle

If you are ready to be taken to a dreamy, fantastic place, this tune will transport you. It’s light and ethereal electronica, and a preview of the artist’s album Occasus coming out this April.

 

Lights & Motion – Bloom

Guitars and epic strings on these tracks help build uplifting, cinematic pictures in the mind which feel refreshing and inspiring. We’ll be playing “Glaciers” the most, as well as other tracks across the day.

 

Wild Child – Follow Me

Kelsey Wilson’s delicate and soulful vocals over a deeply chilled full band make this song warm and comfy to relax with. It’s from the album Expectations which came out this month.
