we are all confined into our apartments, or villas or mansions (who knows?) during this Coronavirus pandemics.
Thankfully, there is THE MUSIC. I’m glad I had some work to do to spend time during the Quarantine for Coronavirus. I wanted to give more music variety on Milano Lounge Radio, so I took this time to select and add some 300 new tracks, including classics of the Chillout/Lounge format from the 90s and even the 80s, such as Incognito, William Pitt, Ultra Nate, Swing Out Sister, Mike Francis, Sade, Enigma, Matt Bianco, Grace Jones… Just to mention a few.
And, of course, I have to thank you, dear listeners of Milano Lounge Radio, for your donations and words of support and encouragement. Every time I play a track, I feel like we are together in a big big room, although it would be difficult to do it nowadays but we are all reunited together, thanks to the music.
And I also like to travel with my mind, every track gives me different sensations and takes me to a new place, sometimes to a new planet…
Remember, that you can suggest songs to add to our radio rotation, via the dedicated Milano Lounge Radio Spotify collaborative playlist, available at
in this difficult times for all the world, due to the Coronavirus pandemic, I am glad that Milano Lounge & Milano Lounge Radio HD are spreading good music to keep you company.
