Originally emerging in the 1990s as one-half of the acclaimed duo Charles & Eddie, Oakland-born, LA-based artist Eddie Chacon has been crafting a thoughtful strain of R&B and soul music for decades now. Since resurfacing in 2020 with his debut album Pleasure, Joy And Happiness, Eddie has paved a new path as an introspective solo artist, recently unveiling his third solo album Lay Low that was produced by Nick Hakim and released on Stones Throw Records.
Eddie's exclusive guest DJ mix for Midnight in a Perfect World is a beautiful collection of dreamy chillout songs that roams around an introspective intersection of soul, R&B, jazz, electronic, ambient, and pop, featuring his own work alongside songs from Ryuichi Sakamoto, Harry Nilsson, John Carroll Kirby, Mndsgn., Yoko Ono, and more.
