Tonight on Cocktail Nation, television history changed forever. A decision that would create the modern TV rerun. Hidden oil derricks secretly pumping beneath Los Angeles. A daring World War II prison escape under moonlight. Laurel and Hardy spark near-riots in an English village pub. The strange movement that wanted engineers to run society. Exotica, tiki culture, vintage legends, and lounge mysteries. New music from across the world of cool and cocktail jazz. Pour a drink… the night train is leaving the station     Eddie Singers- Harlem Nocturne Joshua Cipolla-The Midnight Sea Uptown Vocal Jazz Quartet- I Love Lucy Kurt Elling   Los Angeles  Rebecca Rafla-What A Difference A Day Makes Magic Sands- Vaquero Mark Riddle- Uncharted Clousaaux- Reum With A View Combustible Eddison -Vertigogo Martini Kings- The Lonely Bull Magic Sands -Vaquero Mr Moai- Pool of Love

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.
