This Episode…
I’ve been doing some more late night research into the world of Balearic and talking to friends who make and put out records, collecting tunes for the summer, which is why we have ended up on
this virtual beach, with an old record player and a bag full of soundtracks, oddities and new things. Let’s hope there’s not too much sand blowing around for me to play the tunes, and what about the sun warping the vinyl?

Let tastemaker Chris Coco guide you through his selection of the week’s best new music.
This Episode… Is a sort of extended Balearic mix that goes all over the place from disco to dub, from house to afrobeat to 80s pop to ambient electronica, inspired by too many hours in flight and too much uploading and dowloading. Melodica – does that make sense?

This Episode…

I haven’t played any house on the show for ages, so… to make up for that, there’s some house music.
There are also, thanks to perhaps too much sun in normally chilly London city, some  really beautiful Balearic moments mixed with, as it the tradition in such circumstances, a couple of slightly dubious cover versions that will do doubt sound like a stroke of total genius at sunset time.

1 St Germain – Real Blues
2 Kerkena – Sun (Moodymanc’s Jazz A Dub
3 Brame & Hamo – Hotshot
4 4004 – Round Streets
5 Anton Zap – Pauspapier

LIFE’S A BEACH – a couple of slightly dodgy covers that probably work because they are ‘Balearic’
8 DJ Cam – In The Air Tonight feat Earl Davis
9 Robot Koch & Delhia de France – California Dreamin

10 Les Troubadours Du Roi Baudoin – Sanctus
11 Derek Gripper – Elyne Road
