Quality show Joe, great choices, sounds and obviously a lot of love and preparation has gone into this too. Let me know if you ever get round to the other few hundred hours of his work ;)

Ahh, I confused Larry Heard with Larry Levan.  initially expecting Paradise Garage vibes but stayed for these beautiful deep tunes beautifully presented.  cheers.

I've been asked by Melodic Distraction Radio to curate one of their 'Artist Focus' shows. It's a deep dive into musicians that have defined the sound of modern music; from stone cold classics, unearthed gems and forgotten B sides. I'll present a 60 minute tribute to a single artist who's had a notable impact on my musical life. For this edition I chose to focus on Larry Heard aka MR Fingers. Unquestionably one of electronic music finest pioneers and almost singlehandedly put the deepness in house music, his work sits at the very foundations of the genre. I'll take you through 10 of my choice tracks of his recording career, staying away from some of his more well known productions and digging deep into the back catalogue.

Artist Focus: Larry Heard - Curated By Joe Morris

Very pleased to host a mix from legendary DJ Colleen 'Cosmo' Murphy !

Originally from Massachusetts, she attended New York University where she was Program Director and a DJ at the university radio station WNYU.

Colleen has been a radio host, DJ and programme director since the age of fourteen and today hosts "Cosmodelica" and "Classic Album Sundays Worldwide" on Worldwide FM and "This Women’s Work" series for Public Radio International. Cosmodelica was selected by Time Out as one of the 10 best shows in London.

She is the writer and host of BBC 6 Music’s album series "Sounds of a City"and BBC Radio 4’s documentary series "Turntable Tales"]

Unfold Japan, a radio series she hosted for Worldwide FM and Asahi has been nominated for an ARIA Award in 2020 Audio and Radio Industry Awards for Best Branded Content.

As a DJ, Colleen was mentored by David Mancuso at his seminal Loft parties in New York City and became one of his most trusted friends and artistic collaborators. Together they co-produced the compilation series David Mancuso Presents The Loft Volumes One and Two, 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.” She was asked by David to help manage his legacy and continues to be one of the musical hosts at The Loft in NYC.

She is also the cofounder of the Lucky Cloud Loft parties in London which she co-founded with Mancuso and friends and DJs internationally on the world's best sound systems and dance floors.

In 2019, Colleen was nominated in the DJ Mag North America Hall of Fame and launched Love Dancin’ Sound System with Trojan Sound System's Daddy Ad at Gilles Peterson’s We Out Here Festival, sharing some of her musical and sonic passions to dancers outside of her existing communities.

As a producer, Colleen has remixed Roisin Murphy, The Rapture, Candi Staton, Phenomenal Handclap Band, Cantoma, Horace Andy or Chaka Khan & more under her Cosmodelica moniker and as DarkStarr Diskotek (with Ashley Beedle). Along with former Captain Beefheart guitarist Gary Lucas, she recorded and produced as Wild Rumpus.

She has also mixed her own compilations - New York Afterhours: A Later Shade of Deep(Nervous Records 1998), The Disco-Tech of DJ Cosmo (Yellow Productions 2003) and Psychedelic Disco-Tech: They Live by the Night as Darkstarr with Ashley Beedle.

Colleen's Classic Album Sundays platform tells the stories behind the albums that have shaped our culture and in some cases, our lives. She founded it as a stance against the increasing devaluation of music and sound. What began as a passion project is now the world’s most popular album listening event with satellites in four continents and the website and social media channels host content on classic albums and artists such as interviews, videos, playlists and more. BBC Breakfast Television remarked, “Classic Album Sundays treat our best loved records like great symphonies.”

Colleen and Classic Album Sundays are one of the leading pioneers and inspirations behind the resurgence of vinyl, listening venues and high quality sound.

She has hosted events with talent such as Jarvis Cocker, Pink Floyd’s Nick Mason, Jazzie B OBE (Soul II Soul), Sister Sledge, Lisa Stansfield, Thurston Moore and many more.


Colleen 'Cosmo" Murphy will be playing at Campo Sancho Festival 29th - 31st July.

While not pinned to one particular sound, Joe’s inimitable style has taken him to perform in New York, Moscow, Paris, Milan, Ibiza, Geneva, Barcelona, Berlin, Hanoi and all over the UK using his vast experience to expertly craft emotive atmospheres from chill out scenarios to dance-floor energy. Crystalizing this ethos into his productions Joe has enjoyed a string of well received releases on a myriad of diverse record labels. It's an intoxicating cocktail that has seen him gig around the world and back again; from smoke filled basements to festival stages and all points between.
