DSPPR (Disappear) is a label run by DJ Chris Coco. It's based in London with close links to the creative network in Ibiza where Chris lived for several years. The label releases the full range of Balearic sounds from ambient sunset moments to beach grooves to dub house disco style club tracks. The label is about the release it's 50th title - a collection of tracks called, with a suitable sense of irony, Balearic Classics Vol 2.
Review: Daydream Utopia emerges as a deep journey into atmospheric downtempo & electronica, designed for immersive listening experiences if only brief! Evoking a sense of inner and outer space exploration, the album's ethereal soundscapes offer a soundtrack for introspection and dreaming realities by blending warm analog tones with futuristic nostalgia. Chris Coco invites listeners to ponder existential questions while navigating their own thoughts, offering a place for balance, clarity and purpose should you get it. From the enigmatic "Synesthesia" to the introspective "Tokyo Ame," each composition sparks curiosity, whether it's decoding hidden meanings or exploring the depths of human connection. For lovers of ambient synth!
Review: Two Balearic legends collide as Chris Coco teams up with George Solar - another DJ who's never happier than when serving up chilled sundown vibes on the White Island - for an outing on his own DSPRR label. There are two mixes of 'Rumba Solar' to choose from: the Edit is a pretty much archetypical slice of Balearic chill-out, all slo-mo drums, tinkling keys, aquatic sounds, barely-there snatches of ethereal female vocal and hints of dub, while the SIRS Remix transforms the track into more of post-club headnodder with slightly livelier (though still fairly low-tempo) drums.
Review: 14 months on from the release of its predecessor, Chris Coco offers up the third volume in his ongoing Balearic Classics series. OK, so the 'classics' in question all come from the archives of his sun-soaked, chill out-inspired DSPPR label, but there's no denying the quality of the warming, mostly slow-motion music on show. Check first the gorgeous slow-motion Balearic boogie of Antonio Prosper's 'Electro Balear', before admiring the dubbed-out Balearic pop exotica of Coyoye & Florecer's 'The Biggest', the dubby Balearic house shuffle of Coco Steel & Lovebomb's 'La Isla', the head-nodding Mediterranean hip-hop of Sadeedo's 'Asafeer Portixol' and the almost overwhelming beauty of LOVA's 'Madre Padre (To The End Edit)'.
Review: Set as an extra release, Pink Sun is the final track from Chris Coco & George Solar's Island Vibrations LP. Giving an interstellar dub to the closing number as bonus encore for the lounge-y, Balearic and ambient guitar original, the duo were united by their profound conversations about dub and the future of chill-out music. Together they embarked on crafting tunes together drawing loose inspiration from diverse rhythms, and Island Vibrations is the answer. Get your Pink Sun here.
Review: To celebrate notching up a half-century of releases on his DSPPR label, Chris Coco has put together a mini album of musical gems from his bulging back catalogue. It's a mixture of classics, collaborations and sought-after remixes, with plenty to savour throughout. The experienced producers first serves up some blissful, slow-motion loveliness - the deep bass, looped electronics and opaque pads of '7pm, Somewhere Offshore', before giving us a chance to enjoy Coyote's dubby, bluesy, delay-laden re-fix of Coco's collaboration with George Solar, 'Lagrimas De San Lorenzo'.Elsewhere, Coco's uca Averna hook-up 'High Waves' is a tactile, old school deep house treat, A Man Called Adam's classic rework of 'Yachts' is a samba-soaked, jazz-flecked, bass-heavy delight, and 'Reverse Dub' (with Orkidea) is a top-notch chunk of hazy ambient dub.
