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.

MFM Mix 045: Colleen 'Cosmo' Murphy

I had the pleasure of putting together this mix for Error404store, recorded in their pop-up store on Wesertrasse, Berlin a few months back. It features lots of deeper, dubbed-out, introspective music, featuring lots of recent, forthcoming or unreleased bits from my hometown of naarm/Melbourne.

I also took some of their clothes for a spin and had a chat to them about some upcoming bits. The mix is uploaded here without me blabbing on, but for the full interview head to the @error404store website 

I hope you enjoy!

For the next in our Off The Record mix series we invited DJ, radio host and music consultant Sam Don or known to his close friends and family, Sam Donnison. Sam is a DJ's DJ, having proved himself and the world over as a man of many styles, tempo and moods. Having shared the airwaves with highly regarded talent like Danilo Plessow aka MCDE and constructed mind soothing mixes for podcasts like Mr Bongo its quite hard to pin point what direction Sam will go in a set. This also shows the sign of a true digger and if Off The Record knows anything its deep diggers. This digging helped Sam curate one of the most captivating compilation series' to come out this year in our opinion; "For The Love Of You", a journey through Lover's Rock across two brilliant volumes on the ever amazing Athens Of The North. For this mix Sam has tapped into a deep dig of fun yet raw house numbers, stemming with vocals, hypnotic acid, heavenly kicks and cunning blends throughout. We had a quick sit down with Sam about the mix and what he has been up to lately. This is Off The Record 36: Sam Don!

For Trushmix 200 we got two mixes by the founders of it all!
LA 2000 and DJ Fett Burger in the mix.

LA 2000 recorded a fantastic balearic mix in 2007. It was early on when the balearic genre was rediscovered as a thing. Really good tunes selected in a masterful way!
Just to put it in context, This was in 2007, so balearic wasn’t as familiar like now, only heads started to pick this up again after the heydays in the 80’s, so some really good compilations started to float around, and that became a spark. Also DJ Harvey hadn’t yet made his euro comeback so it was a whole different time back then, it was very marginal. Very nice in many ways. A fantastic mix, that is recorded a bit too loud on a lousy PC.

The second mix, by DJ Fett Burger is a quite eclectic mix recorded in 2009 for a CDR label called Sony Norge, under a different DJ alias. 
This mix matches the previous mix in an odd way, a proper out there balearic interpretation, with some Norwegian cuts that make it local in a global way. So we got a package full of surprises here! You never know what will come next! 

As one mix, these two become quite something, a perfect journey for a 200 mix celebration on Trushmix! It’s a listening party for people who want to take things to a special level. And it really catches the essence of what Trushmix is about!

Music from the top!
Enjoy!
