Chris Coco

The perfect soundtrack for all those magic moments, the promise of adventure, a hint of the exotic, a cosmopolitan collection of beautiful tunes put together by Chris Coco, former BBC Radio 1 DJ.

Lazy Summer II is his latest distillation of the sound of summer; a super-eclectic selection created from Chris Coco's experiences playing cocktail bars, night clubs and pop-up restaurants in London; from spinning sunsets and poolside parties in Ibiza; festivals in sunny fields all over Europe; and from making his weekly show, Melodica.

This is mellow music with character and attitude, made by artists who are
passionate about sound, melody, emotion; who are pushing boundaries,giving
everything they've got to make something truly exceptional. But it's not just
about the new. The cutting edge modern of Nicolas Jaarand Scuba is balanced
nicely by Balearic classics from Al Stewart and Harpers Bizarre. And there are
new takes on classics too, Adem dares to tackle the Beach Boys' God Only Knows
with just a ukulele and his voice,and wins; Hercules and Love Affair drag It's
Alright, Sterling Void's house classic, (gently) into the twenty first century.
There are some oddities too, Wolfgang Flur from Kraftwerk delivers a fine
monologue on Cultural Attaches' Golden Light and I get to sing on The
Normalites' song for the future, More To Come. Paul Kalkbrenner's frantic
Platscher sits happily next to Letherette's soulful Cherryade. Steffi's ultimate
Berlin cool brushes up again Sepalcure's New York atmospherics. There is
electronica, acoustica, mellow techno, post-dubstep and all sorts of other
genres that don't even have names yet. Old, new, delightful, surprising,
beautiful; it's all here and it all makes sense in the sunshine. All these gems
are collected in this newly refined digibox with picturesshoot by Chris himself
around the world.
