Chris Coco is a DJ, producer, broadcaster, critic, music junkie. He presented the Sunday edition of BBC Radio 1’s after hours show The Blue Room alongside Sunday Best’s Rob Da Bank (Sunday morning 5-7am) and DJs everything from house and party bootlegs to indie rock ‘n’ roll and dub all over the world.
Raised in Sussex, Chris was a prime mover in the acid house boom of the late Eighties. His Frenzy and Coco Club nights turned Brighton’s Zap Club into the South Coast’s party epicentre. His DJing inspired him to make the enduring party classic ‘Feel It’ by Coco Steel & Lovebomb. But Chris’ more complex, downbeat side was already starting to emerge on the group’s debut album ‘It’, released on Warp Records in 1994. Drawn to increasingly chilled sounds, Chris reconnected with a passion for moody electronica, dub reggae and film soundtracks first nurtured as a youthful fan of New Order, Kraftwerk and The Velvet Underground.
Chris then spent the late Nineties juggling multiple careers. He was the editor of dance music bible DJ Magazine but it was under his Chris Coco guise that he became a globe-trotting chillout champion, spinning everywhere from sunset parties in Ibiza and Brazil to fashion parties for Fendi in Tokyo; from film parties on the beach in Cannes to theatre launches is London; from big sunny outdoor events in Sydney to smoky after hours clubs in Naples. He also made two experimental electronic albums as Coco, Steel & Lovebomb, ‘New World’ (1996) and ‘The Sun Set’ (1998), and the lounge classic ‘Yachts’ (1999) for A Man Called Adam’s Other label.
