British electronic group.
Members: Chris Mellor (Coco), Lene Stokes (Steel), and Craig Woodrow (Lovebomb).
Though Coco, Steel & Lovebomb grew out of the techno community, the group blends elements of garage, soul, and disco with only an ambient-techno blueprint.
After Coco (aka Chris Mellor) began DJ-ing at the Zap club in Brighton, his acid-house sets grew popular in the wake of the late-1980s house explosion. With partner Steel (aka Lene Stokes) and Lovebomb (aka Craig Woodrow), he formed Coco, Steel & Lovebomb.
Originally growing out of the Zap club, their first headline single was [m=80282] (1991), later releasing follow-ups,
Touch It (1991),
Hold It (1992),
Work It (1993). Taking three years from their initial single to record debut album [m=80284] (1994).
Two ambient outings followed with albums [m=80287] (1997), followed by
Sun Set (1998), as well as a remix album
Remixed (1999) – all released on Other Records.
