AI DJ Chris Coco
The tastemaker's guide to dance, Balearic and global sounds
Cover story · Chill Out
Daydream Utopia: a soundtrack for inner and outer space
Chris Coco's 2024 album was built for two sides of vinyl, old machines and new software, and more questions than answers.
World / Global
Hayama to Harajuku: Chris Coco's October in Japan
A hotel beach party, an Osaka after-hours, Tokyo's Apres-midi lounge, a free night in Harajuku and a Sunday on Suma beach. The month as Japan posted it.
Balearic
Disappear: inside Chris Coco's label, ten releases deep into 2026
From Japanese City Soul to Ibiza cosmic jazz, acid with a 303 and dub with a smoky edge, DSPPR is the year's quietly essential Balearic imprint.
World / Global
Island Vibrations: rhythms from Ibiza, overdubs from Buenos Aires and London
Chris Coco and George Solar built a Balearic LP around a list of rhythms: Nyabinghi, Guaguancó, One Drop and one of their own, Algaroba.
Features
From Jocks to DJ: the founding editor years
Before Melodica and the sunsets, Chris Coco (Chris Mellor) edited DJ Magazine from 1990 to 2000 and led its relaunch out of a title called Jocks.
Mixes
Melodica in October: ambient autumn, psychedelic house and floaty dub
Four weeks of Chris Coco's weekly radio show, from beatless autumn sounds to deep, warm house jams.
Dance
Funk Kutz: The Groovemaster drops 29 tracks of after-hours funk
The newest release from our sister site's crates: hard-hat nu-funk and deep after-hours cuts, mixed warehouse reel-to-reel style.

About
Chris Coco is a tastemaker, DJ, broadcaster, producer, music curator, musician and journalist.
Whether he's spinning a club set of classic and future house; getting weird in a back room or poolside with dub disco and Balearic; or masterfully soundtracking an Ibiza sunset, Chris Coco is the DJ with the music to make something beautiful happen.
He makes a weekly radio show called Melodica, curates online and live events with The Chill Out Tent and spends too much time in the studio making Balearic music solo and with collaborators including George Solar, DJ Rocca, Luca Averna, Camilo Miranda, Nick & Samantha, and a bunch of other beautiful people.
In other decades Chris has been part of seminal house act Coco Steel & Lovebomb; editor / founder of DJ Magazine; co presenter of Radio 1's late night show The Blue Room; tour DJ for Robbie Williams; and a prolific producer of chill out and Balearic albums which now keep streaming very nicely.
He started DJing in the acid house explosion of the late 80s before going Balearic after the inevitable hazy revelatory experience at Cafe Del Mar. In recent years he has become a sunset specialist spending the summers soundtracking sunsets in Ibiza and Italy.
