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.
Disappear, catalogue prefix DSPPR, is the London label Chris Coco describes on its own release notes as his "boutique label for stuff that he likes ranging from ambient jazz to Balearic to clubby house music". In 2026 that range has never sounded wider. Here is the year so far, newest first, with every fact taken from the release pages on Bandcamp.
Coming 1 November: Coco Steel & Lovebomb, Echoes In My Mind / Mama Sol
Vinyl only. Two tracks "celebrating the glory of the European / Italo sound of the 90s": a 120bpm dream house A-side with a nod to Ethos Mama Club, and a 106bpm afro, dub and cosmic B-side "with love to Baldelli's Cosmic style". The release notes name DJ Rocca, the Italian house don known for his work with Dimitri From Paris and Daniele Baldelli. Vocals on both tracks by Louis Vann Johnson. The digital pre-order is two-minute clips only: the full tracks live on the wax.
October: Florecer, Sleep Training EP
California couple Allie Schulz and Alex Pasternak, recording with their young daughters in tow. The title track was made at a studio in Mazunte, Oaxaca. Coyote dubs it smooth, and Chris Coco adds a reverb-heavy dub of Running Behind.
September: Reviver Gene and Sadeedo
Reviver Gene's This Thing Of Ours is a second EP of cut-ups, lo-fi beats, found speech, drum and bass and dub from a producer and poet in the South East of the UK. Its lead track British sets words by Maureen Onwunali, a Dublin-born Nigerian poet and two-time national slam champion. The single's cover photo is by Chris Coco.
Sadeedo's Azizi in Space is the debut album from a London-born DJ with Arab and Bosnian roots who now lives in Ibiza. He calls it "a musical postcard from Earth for a friend in space I haven't met yet", inspired by NASA's Golden Record. Oud from Karim Sultan, trumpet from Fly. This is the label's World / Global heart.
Summer: Japan, the Mediterranean and a 303
- **Yota Miyachi, Back To The Journey** (August): Japanese City Soul, paired with a Chris Coco Bath House Dub.
- **Warriors Of The Dystotheque & Balaphonic, No Compass Required** (July): "a deep, dreamy piece made for drifting", with a Chris Coco edit built for sunset.
- **Coco Steel & Lovebomb, ACIDIRIE** (June): acid house with Suddi Raval of Together on the 303. Production and mix down by Chris Coco.
- **Chris Coco, Nick & Samantha, Coco De La Isla Remixes** (June): two Balearic remixes, Nick Cornu on guitar and Samantha Whates on vocals.
Spring: sunshine and dub
Balearic Classics Vol 5 (Hello Sunshine) (May) gathers DJ versions and extended dubs "perfect for poolside, beach bar and sunset engagements". Coyote's Nag Champa (April) is three tracks of dubby, bass-heavy grooves with "a sweet, smoky flavour".
Everything above streams free on Bandcamp, where buying direct puts the most money in the artists' pockets.
