It's a real pleasure to welcome highly respected and experienced musical selector, DJ, radio host and curator Colleen 'Cosmo' Murphy (@colleen-cosmo-murphy) with a special 'audio yoga mix' to our series. Interview (excerpt) down below.

MFM: Hi Colleen, thanks for sharing your thoughts and music with us. Hosting your weekly online radio shows, making plenty mixes for several outlets, DJing clubs and festivals... How do you keep motivated and inspired?

CM: Sharing music has been focal to my life since I was a teenager hosting shows on our 10-watt high school radio station and working in a record shop after school. Turning people onto new tunes and artists gives me immense joy and courses throughout every aspect of my vocation. I’m a communicator at heart. That’s balanced with the more internalized creativity of music productions and remixes. Being in the studio and playing with ideas and sounds is very focusing and the rest of the world seems to fall away. It’s therapeutic. And playing records as a DJ or musical host is like a lively musical conversation in which I draw energy from the dancers and give it back in turn. A great party is a collective creation. Throughout all of my endeavours I try to impart the life energy of music, a healing and motivational force that inspires me every day.

MFM: In a time and place where the context of a DJ seems to have changed over decades, do you feel your “classic” approach of DJing gives you an advantage in keeping relevant and reaching a crowd?

CM: It's important to have your own point of difference. I have never been a ‘cookie-cutter’ type DJ and used to struggle with the idea that I didn’t fit in. But then I recognized that all the different aspects of my vocation had one thing in common – myself. Once I integrated everything and became more holistic in my approach, I felt happier and more confident. Being authentic to oneself is first and foremost and then it is up to others to decide whether or not they like your creative output. You can’t please everybody, but you have to try to please yourself otherwise there is no point. I get immense pleasure in what I do and hope that it brings joy to others. I do have a classic approach to DJ-ing but I’m also always looking for new sounds that resonate. I also admire other DJs styles even if it’s quite different to my own. There’s room for everyone.

MFM: You're a DJ who encourages the listener to open up and really listen to music, its definitions, context and aesthetics. Probably one of the foremost reasons why you tend to let a song run from beginning till end. With such strong values, what's your view on the modern way of “consuming” music?

CM: There are many different ways to enjoy music and none are the wrong way. Any experience of music is good. When I started Classic Album Sundays in 2010, it was a response to music only being ‘consumed’ rather than experienced and I wanted to share the way the I often listen to music with others to provide an alternative. At that time, we were in the midst of shuffle culture and the almighty MP3 and whilst both have their place, it shouldn’t be the end-all experience. When people come to a Classic Album Sundays event and hear the subtleties and nuances of an entire album played without interruption, on one of the world’s best sound systems and in a communal setting, they experience music in a different way and most find it transformative. But listening to music in a car or dancing to a DJ who scratches and cuts up songs can also be inspirational. I can only try to offer what is authentic from me.

Mix of the Week #464: LOVE APE

Next up on @idlecellars mix series we have a dear friend, legendary Dj, selector and producer @felix-dickinson blessing us with his unique style and effortless flow. Some sweet unknowns and a few lost classics thrown in, a perfect journey from start to finish.

Felix has been part of the UK's underground dance scene for the last 3 decades, learning his trade DJing at free parties and illegal raves and co-founding his first record label Ugly Music in the 90's. He's produced records for well renowned record labels worldwide including DFA, Rush Hour, Eskimo, Golf Channel, Claremont 56, Futureboogie and his own label Cynic.

He has secured slots at well known clubs and festivals across the globe, and the last few years have seen him receive a lot more attention due to his high profile residencies for Block 9 (Glastonbury) and Croatia’s Love International as well as regular appearances at Houghton, Gottwood, Thailand’s Wonderfruit festival and regular tours of Japan, the USA and beyond.
 
Felix:

"The brief for this mix was something that you could listen to with a glass of wine in your hand as the sun goes down. It’s a pretty mellow early evening selection, something you can unwind to at the end of the day, but get’s a little more lively as the second and third glass goes down, so could just as easily be something to bung as you’re getting ready to go out."

We hope you enjoy this selection as much as we do 🎶

@TobyTobias:
Was a pleasure to be asked by Danny to do this mix and join in with the crew - I'd been meaning to do a Dub Bleeps and Oddities mix part 2 for a while - and Dannys request came in when I was getting ready so it seemed right - so that it was you have essentially - but less of the oddities and more of a gentle build up to the seeds of a night out ..
