Coco Steel & Lovebomb

Coco Steel & Lovebomb are a British electronic music group.[1] The group, composed of Chris Coco, Lene Stokes, and Craig Woodrow, were most active in the 1990s.[2]

Early releases of their electronic dance music were on Warp Records. The single "Feel It" (1991)[3] later appeared on compilation albums from Warp (1999), Global Underground (2006), and Ministry of Sound (2011). The single "Set Me Free!" (1994) reached number 34 on the UK Official Dance Singles Chart.[4] The debut album It! was released in 1994.

They made "increasingly ambient flavoured dance tunes that incorporated sound effects taped on [Coco's] travels."[1] The next three albums were released on A Man Called Adam's label Other Records: New World (1997), Sun Set (1998), and Remixed (1999). Their last, The Chillout Album, was released on Melodica Recordings in 2014.
