Lounge Special-Mr Ho’s Orchestrotica

Author: Cocktail Nation with Lounge Leader Koop Kooper May 9, 2025 Duration: 1:02:17
A Lounge special this week as we look at Mr Ho’s Orchestrotica, we’ve had an election here in Australia so in our stuff segment a story from a late forties election where the press got the result horribly wrong and we continue with the new music playing Voodoo 5 and the Midday Mai Tais fresh from a triumphant performance at Tiki Caliente. I have a recommendation of a new doco on Netflix for you and I revisit something from my early years that shaped my retro aesthetic.     New Morty Show – Ladies Man Nutty – Frankenmunster Mr Ho’s Orchestrotica-Mini Skirt Enoch Light – Autumn In New York Astrud Gilberto – Insensatez Kenny Sasaki – Fly Me To The Island Martini Kings – Agua de Ber Stan Getz – Penthouse Serenade Mark Copeland – I Happen To Like New York Mancini – Breakfast At Tiffany’s Dave Brubeck – Take Five Bruno Nicolai feat Sabina Mollasse-Upper Seven Voodoo 5 – Sonorous Desert Midday Mai Tais – Pineapple Paradisee Angelo Badalamenti – Freshly Squeezed

Step into the sophisticated, retro-futuristic world of Cocktail Nation, hosted from a Sydney Penthouse by the one and only Lounge Leader, Koop Kooper. This isn't just a music show; it's a weekly audio escape into the cool, crisp sound of martini shakers and the smooth grooves of a bygone era. Each episode of this podcast is a carefully curated session where classic lounge meets its modern descendant, neo-lounge, creating a seamless soundtrack for the stylishly inclined. Kooper doesn't just spin records; he brings the scene to life with conversations from the most interesting characters found in the swankier corners of culture-musicians, artists, and connoisseurs of the good life. Tune in and you'll hear stories woven between tracks, a blend of charismatic interview and impeccable musical selection that feels like an invitation to an exclusive, yet wonderfully welcoming, party. The vibe is consistently laid-back, intelligent, and dedicated to the artistry of cool. For anyone who appreciates the finer notes in both music and conversation, Cocktail Nation delivers a distinct and transporting experience, one perfectly mixed episode at a time.
