club coco returns this June as @cocomaria___ takes over for a four-week residency, joined by a carefully shaped lineup across the month.
a celebrated selector and tireless digger, she is known for uncovering deep cuts from across latin america, the caribbean and beyond, building sets full of rhythm, colour and connection.
she opens alongside @cosmo.sofi and @patrickforge in a meeting of wide-reaching tastes, before linking with @poly_ritmo and @palosantodiscos for a session rooted in global groove. @iii_sassy_j_iii joins the following week, bringing her own free-flowing approach, before Coco closes the residency with a full night in the booth.
four saturdays guided by Coco’s unmistakable touch, with the space to let each night unfold in its own way.

Today is the release of 𝄞𝄢 Disco Chimi 𝄞ˎˊ˗ the debut album of Dominican-Cuban artist Charlie Chimi.
The first artist release on @clubcocothelabel ! 𝄞𝄢
We fell in love with Charlie’s playful mix of merengue, dembow, rock, Afro-disco, and Caribbean folklore with a garage rock energy.
Thank you/Gracias to all the lovely, talented and energetic people who were involved in this process:

Big news! 🚨🌱Coco is finally holding the first artist LP of our label and we are happy to tell that it's out next Friday!
@charlie_chimi — the alter ego of Charles Garmendia — is a globe-trotting, kaleidoscopic creator best known for La China de la Gasolina. A percussionist for legendary Zamrock band WITCH, L’Eclair, and other international acts, Charlie moves fluidly between roles as a live performer, studio musician, and visual artist.
Like the iconic Dominican street burger it’s named after, the Charlie Chimi project is a spicy mélange of Afro-Cuban rhythms, funk-driven basslines, and playful, inventive wordplay — touching on everyday rituals like making lunch, as well as the trickier themes of illusion, hustle, and deception in the animal (and human) world.
Charlie has assembled an international crew of “Chimis” to help him run the numbers, delivering a dizzying, theatrical live show that feels like peeking into the hazy back room of a bodega: old men slamming dominoes, bachata blasting, and a cosmic sandwich opening a wormhole to somewhere far stranger.
Acapulco — La Discoteca
It starts at the table.
Cantina flavors in motion.
Tequila and mezcal close behind.
Latin rhythms take over.
Conversations stretch.
Another round.
And then, something else.

We joined @cocomaria___ at @barbicancentre for an exhibition that brought together over 150 artworks from Beatriz González’s influential practice. Spanning monumental paintings to repurposed furniture from the 1960s to now.
González’s work often playfully critiques power structures and offers moving reflections on grief displacement and community, something that Coco resonated with, saying: “As a mexican I can completely relate… sometimes in the face of tragedy or horrible situations humour is the only hope.”
The exhibition continues until 10 May, and with the National Art Pass you can unlock 50% off this major exhibition as well as free and discounted entry to hundreds of museums and galleries across the UK.
Experience a year of culture from as little as £39.75.
¡A bailar in the Netherlands!✌🏽

Mexico feels more and more like home, again.
Mis dos semanas de ensueño y emociones sin límite, han llegado a su fin y quiero agradecer a todos y todas los fueron parte de mi primer tour en mi país.
Desde Saltillo, Monterrey, Hermosillo, Tijuana, Guadalajara y Ciudad de México.
Me sentí algo triste de partir, pero feliz e inspirada por toda la buena onda derramada.
Hasta pronto. Los quiero mucho 🤍
“It was fun to throw on some of my favourite records for the @mixmag team and friends. Latin funk, Latin disco and other genres in between. Enjoy! x” - @cocomaria___
Mixmag and @patron invited the Mexico-born DJ, radio host and expert crate digger Coco María to spin a 100% Vinyl set at @blacklacquer.london , a vinyl-inspired venue in the heart of Farringdon.
