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.
Melodica is Chris Coco's weekly radio show, described on Mixcloud as a mix of sounds "from mellow Balearic to the deepest house via electronica and oddities". Each episode runs about an hour. Here is October 2026, newest first.
26 October: a beatless autumn
A special ambient episode from Anthony Peters, aka Studio Imeus. It drifts through soundtracks, ambient, European jazz, Japanese minimalism, acid folk, neo-classical "and music from across the globe". Mixcloud tags: Balearic, Downtempo, Ambient, Chillout.
19 October: a psychedelic edge
Deep, warm house jams, then a collage or mixtape feel inspired by what Chris calls his "very late discovery" of Hana Stretton's album Tiarn. His advice: "sit back and let your mind drift down stream."
12 October: the music of your brain
The dance-floor week: "electronic sound made to make you move, and groove and not really think too much at all for a while." Tags include House and Deep house.
5 October: mellow and floaty
Drifting around the edges of dub, indie electronica, folk and "broad-stroke Balearica".
Every episode is free to stream on Mixcloud.
