new album by mastermind chris coco

ltd to 500, hand numbered

with faze action remix

is it balearic? welcome the mellow charms of chris coco and camillo miranda to lay down an unusual paean to a prehistoric love with the truly breezy drifter dinosaur baby. while the tale might be a quirky one, the music is the real deal, all tumbling percussion locked into a slow, head-nodding groove, and this comes through even stronger on the 12inch dub. on the flip, rune lindbaek delivers a remix that fleshes the original out with laconic disco flourihes, and then luke solomons version injects a little housey energy into the make up with his usual flair for off-kilter party fuel.

rune returns on his own drum island imprint, this time very ably assisted by uk house turned ambient ambassador chris coco weekend billionaires, in its original form is a delightfully lolloping balearic builder. the chris coco sunshine mix immerses those guitar licks and synth pads in a sea of dubbed out, ultra-violet light. already rumoured to be included on harvey s eagerly awaited mercury rising comp. anton klint (tryck & ton / public possession) steps up on the flip with a no-less psychedelic, but decidedly more laser-lit interpretation. finally alta lab wraps things up with a pacier interpretation, housing up the elements into a hypnotic, emotive rendition

imagine cocoon would be a big international football club chris tietjen would be definitely one of the talents coming out of the clubs very own player development program. and he has been pushed step by step to this point to stand on his own feet.

as an accompaniment to chris coco s my summer mixtape digital compilation, melodica recordings presents an exclusive, very limited 12 inch release combining the talent of germanys balearic maestro satin jackets, with ibiza chillout legend jose padilla.

vinyl only release !!! >> come on, be honest. you also have been waiting for this. for more than seven years now, the 27-year-old frankfurter chris tietjen stands, like hardly any other dj, with his cocoon mix compilations for the sound of this label. apart from sven väth, maybe.. so, it was really time for tietjen to carve his music-aesthetical biases finally into vinyl, because for the value-oriented and highly dedicated dj, its a matter of honour to release his tracks in the traditional ep format only.

following up their brazen debut on nang in 2010 ibiza lord, pete gooding and chill capitano chris coco return with their follow up. this time they have enlisted the silky vocals of peter coyle, best known as the voice of liverpool based lotus eaters who made the amazing >first picture of you< in the early 80s. >believe< turns down the bpm quotient a few notches and sets the destinations for balearic.

next up on nang is a single from two djs with a self-confessed chequered history. a determinedly eclectic djing style and a friendship started behind the decks at mambo in ibiza one summer evening and continued through nights spinning together at stella polaris and roskilde in denmark and bestival in the isle of wight.

nice price deal !!! legendary dj and producer chris coco unleashes the first single from his forthcoming album. summertime is a blissfully gorgeous piece of music with a very cool remix package including mixes from lemon popsicle, justin harris, mighty mouse and afterlife. this is definitely a release that oozes summertime...

supported by dubfire, karotte, osunlade, mathias kaden, loco dice, russ gabriel, john digweed, anthony collins, dan drastic and many more!

an uplifting record thats equally as strong in its rhythm and drive as it is in its message, melody and harmonies.

cocoon recordings presents a new mix-compilation and it is number 49!!! more than that it is the 10th edition of the label-inhouse-compilation-series mixed by chris tietjen and last but not least it will be the final chapter of this ten years lasting journey.

sven vŠth s nachwuchshoffung aus dem cocoon-stall mit den krachern dieser zeitÉ super mix

chris titjen präsentiert uns hier eine kleine hommage der schönsten cocoon tracks aller zeiten. acts wie legowelt, frank lorber djinx und cocoon-newcomer oliver kolletzki mit mückenschwarm sind selbstverständlich auch mit von der partie! feine sache! decks sagt: glatte 1 !!

after a successful year with releases on cocoon, cadenza and get physical, gavin herlihy teams up with brothers in crime evan baggs (get physical) and julian ganzer (get physical, meerestief), to deliver a sci-fi soundscape which bounds into a banging bassline driven groove. doing the honours on the remixes are chris carrier and e-contact (half of gimikk), chris turns the track into a funky house tune, while e-contact adds a more of a chicago groove feeling to the track.

german producer christian burkhardt teams up with fellow countrymen chris wood & meat for a three-track release on jamie jones hottrax this may. burkhardt has been flying the flag for minimalist electronic music for a decade now, releasing on labels such as cocoon, oslo and pressure traxx. likewise, freebase records founders meat + chris wood have been purveying deep and minimal cuts individually since the ‘00s, joining forces in 2009 before releasing on labels like desolat, housewax and tiefschwarz souvenir. between the three of them theyve continually garnered support from the upper echelons of house and techno, making regular appearances in the sets of names like ricardo villalobos, sven väth, seth troxler and jamie jones. intricate percussion and a compelling bassline make up the foundation of closer 2 u as an echoing vocal and tense strings operate throughout. meanwhile, plain is a more downtempo cut in comparison with its dusky atmospherics and distorted spoken word samples that subtly permeate throughout the mix. on the flip, trumpad is deep and dubby whilst integrating trippy synths and mesmerizing effects for a rhythmic conclusion.

the cocoon recordings very own inhouse compilation series dots and pearls is back once again and takes us on a tour to the expected sounds of the upcoming spring season. frankfurt based christian burkhardt starts the selection of four exclusive and previously unreleased tracks. his -karambolage- breathes spring air and creates an early summer feeling par excellence. this tune will even turn gray and rainy april weather into bright sunlight. on spot with playful and positive harmonies and a very subtle 80 s synthie-pop flavour. this one here definitely makes us want more! next in line is argy, one of our most long standing cocoon recordings artists. his -how late it was, how late- has an undeniable 80s retro charm, too however it follows a completely different direction than burkhardts -karambolage-. this one refers strongly to an early 80s acid sound and reminds us of great productions such as -on and on- by jesse saunders. we cannot tell how far argy s reminiscences goes back but for the ones who know: -how late it was, how late- will bring you back to the great times of labels like rams horn and their rational youth s -dancing on the berlin- wall. brave and surprising at the same time and above all: -übercool-! with -baroon- by markus fix follows another acid track - however, this one has a far more epic flavour full of warm analogue strings and based on a hypnotic arrangement. fix -baroon- is defintely less retro than argys and burkhardts contributions - a deep tech house gem made for the first sunrises of the upcoming allnighter open airs. with -euphrasia- jim jules accelerates slightly but goes also deeper at the same time. his production follows the cinematic mood of markus fix but paints a darker picture. this one takes us on an intensive musical journey. deep, slightly gloomy and extremely hypnotic, -euphrasia- is almost captivating and bewitching and a perfect conclusion for this highly diversified fourtracker.

for the first release on atrakt recordings, chris tietjen(cocoon recordings,epilog) a talented and renowned artist based in frankfurt,germany has joined the new belgian imprint with his brilliant three-track smoke stack ep featuring an excellent remix by berlin based dj and producer randall m ! no doubt,quality stuff!

epilog welcomes chris tietjen to the artist family. chris already released on the famous cocoon imprint. we are happy about his great productions on our 4th release!

cocoon rising start chris tietjen delivers two peak time dance floor bombs, black leaf and raze, for his own moan ep. markus fix and yaya completed it with two monster remixes. a must have ep ready for tear up the dance floor!

support by: pig & dan (cocoon), danny tenaglia, axel bartsch, hermanez, terry francis, andre rozzo (mountain people), luke miskelly (fuse), this is why we dance, enzo siragusa (fuse), marco duranti (uglh), lewis ryder, andrea ferlin (sleep is commercial, contexterrior), magda, orde slam (soma/paragraph), hernan cattaneo, paco osuna, richie hawtin, dubfire.

the new york based serkal imprint have pulled off quite the coo for their 007 release by welcoming cocoon resident chris tietjen to the stable. a self-confessed dj more than producer, the german admits that he prefers the interaction of playing rather than the solitude of producing

3rd part of the be chosen 5 years compilation comes from the mighty markus fix (cocoon, cecille, oslo) and chris wood(souvenir, freebase records). great package again!

early big support by hanne & lore, aka aka, gabriel le mar, claude von stroke, d. diggler, raycoux jr., playane, tobsen graale, alex rath, rob slac, summer and many more!
first release of this upcoming deep and tech house label. after some succesful vinyl releases on oliver schories label turnbeutel and subotnik, clark davis release his >tulpenbluete< with a big remix by andre kronert (e.g. ostwind) on vogelfrei.
on the other side chris noise shows his talent with his track >shadow from the sun<. his friend ingo boss from cocoon remixes this nice track.

souvenir is proud to present its 44th ep from a duo of frankfurts favourite sons, chris wood and carsten meat schuchmann. both chris and carsten have come up through frankfurts music scene, chris with his long time residency at the infamous monza club and carsten having started the citys premier record shop freebase, still going strong 18years later. trained as a studio engineer, chris cut his chops under the wise wings of pascal feos and joinedforces with meat, who held residencies at cocoon and robert johnson. last year they dropped the mighty triple s on souvenir, which destroyed dance floors as far afield as sao paolo to ibiza.

like hardly any other ambassador of modern rhein main house music, christian burkhardt has experienced a true rocket-like takeoff in the last year. burkhardts cocoon debut ep stopover goa has, after one year, still a place of honour in many djs record cases. also his legendary live set in the pouring rain at last years green & blue may belong to the lasting memories of a life dedicated to electronic music. the heidelberg-born producer has already worked for la peña, raum…musik and oslo, and his collaborations with einzelkind and sascha dive became a talking point, too. with his second ep for cocoon, he again sets new standards. theres nobody around who is able to alienate vocals from the collective memory of afro-american culture into a hallucinogenic cocktail without harmful side effects in such a way than burkhardt is. nevertheless, and despite the massive, forward-pushing bass drum and hand claps, he never loses the focus of his soul. so - open your mind, we wish you lots of fun with heart and mind and the considerably acid-like waffles, while the tropical-hypnotic seagull atmosphere of twentysecondcenturydrama already whets the appetite for the upcoming club summer season of 2012.
