Woodbridge Festival kicks off its 2022 Winter Festival events with a return to the community hall of Ibiza legend Chris Coco joining host DJ Ben Osborne.
The new series of Community Hall Discos will see a roster of international names join local heroes spinning eclectic sets of disco, punk funk, electro, soul, house and hip hop. Shining light into the darkness of the winter, they will run through until spring 2022.
Chris Coco is an international DJ and producer, writer and radio presenter who’s DJed on every continent except Antarctica. He’s played all the major clubs in Ibiza, and at major festivals; including Glastonbury, Roskilde, Big Chill and Bestival. He was opening DJ for Robbie Williams' world tour and there are few DJs who have his breadth of musical knowledge and obsession with finding the perfect track.
Ben Osborne is described as a “polymath” by Time Out. He’s an award winning creative producer, and founder of Noise of Art (“an actual Cathedral of Sound” The Guardian) and DJs internationally at festivals and clubs, including Glastonbury, Sonar, Chateau Perché, MAMA Paris, Big Chill and Latitude. He’s also a journalist and author and has presented his own shows on Xfm (and with Ricky Gervais), NME Radio and Slack City Radio. He’s pioneered such things as late night music in galleries in London, immersive film experiences, and silent music and electronic music events in clubs, festival and theatres.
Smoothgroove is an electronic musician and a long serving veteran of Ipswich Community Radio, the UK's longest running community radio station. He carved his teeth in the early days of Berlin's thriving techno scene, where he also played alongside some of the foundig fathers of the Detroit scene.
The bar is operated by Vernon Blackmore (The Table/ Duck/ Anchor and Horse) and Saltpeter Wines, Woodbridge. Expect some deliciously funky flavours.
