Various Artists - Colleen ‘Cosmo’ Murphy presents ‘Balearic Breakfast’ Volume 2
Colleen ‘Cosmo’ Murphy is a highly respected and experienced musical selector and curator, founder of the album listening event and content hub, Classic Album Sundays (BBC Breakfast Television remarked, “Classic Album Sundays treat our best-loved records like great symphonies”), and an authority on music, sound and the vinyl renaissance. She was mentored by David Mancuso at his seminal Loft parties in New York City. Together they co-produced the compilation series ‘David Mancuso Presents The Loft’ and worked together on David’s record label, The Loft Audiophile Library of Music. In 2000, David told Time Out New York City, “She is very devoted and very pure about the music. She’s one of the only people I would trust, both with the music and with the equipment, to fill in for me.”
Murphy is one of the musical hosts at The Loft, the co-founder of the Lucky Cloud Loft parties in London, and DJs internationally on the world’s best sound systems and dancefloors. As a producer, Colleen has remixed Roisin Murphy, Mildlife, The Rapture, Fat Freddy’s Drop, Beardyman, Candi Staton, Two Bears, Phenomenal Handclap Band, Cantoma, Horace Andy, Chaka Khan & more under her Cosmodelica moniker, and as DarkStarr Diskotek with Ashley Beedle.
