Chants presents: Melodrama

Melodrama is a late-night journey through revving disco rhythms and dark grooves. Mixes are perfect for after-hours drives, underground vibes, or losing yourself in the night with a negroni in-hand. It starts as a whisper and ends where the night decides…

Chants serves up an emotional start to 2026, moving from leftfield shoegaze into pumping Italo and disco, with a French detour honouring the late Brigitte Bardot, before closing in true crooner style with Tony Bennett
