another all-time favorite - mike mareen - dancin' in the dark

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.

Up next on The Guest Mix we welcome DJ and producer duo Timm Sure & Richard Hampson, aka Coyote.

@coyotesounds

Since their first meeting (after both becoming residents at the historically important club “Venus” in Nottingham), between them they spent the 90s’ with residencies at many of the decades seminal parties including the Gardening Club, Venus, Deluxe, The Bomb and Stealth, as well as making regular appearances at events such as Andrew Weatheralls’ “Sabresonic” parties, Ministry of Sound “Open All Hours”, Club UK, Voodoo, Malibu Stacey, Golden, Progress, Moneypennys and even guesting as tour DJs for Underworld and James.

Coyote officially came into being in 2004, when Timm and Ampo decided to start making music together. Since taking on the moniker, Coyote have had a wealth of releases and remixes on a huge array of labels including International Feel, Claremont 54, Ene, Nang, Needwant, Aficionado, RVNG International, Polydor, Phantasy, Rothmans, Tusk Wax and their own “Is it Balearic?” itself, for artists including Odyssey, Charles Webster, Claire Mcquire, Soft Rocks, Runaway, Jose Padilla, Connan Moccasin, Chris Coco, the Backwoods and many, many more.
 After the birth of Coyote, Is It Balearic? Recordings followed in 2007. Initially conceived as merely a platform for the original Ltd Edition Coyote releases (all of which sold out very quickly) it has since branched out into releasing music from artists including Tiago, Downtown Party Network, Max Essa, Hardway Brothers, Justin Robertson, Social Disco Club, Midlake, Smith & Mudd, Mushrooms Project, and Craig Bratley, Leo Mas, Sorcerer as well as breaking new artists such as The Project Club, Giulio Dj, Ahiki, Rompante, and Pharao Black Magic, Daniel Whitehead. 
Is it Balearic? Also boasts a list of remixers that reads like a who’s who of the current Balearic music scene. From Norways dub disco legend Rune Lindbaek, Belgiums world renowned Aeroplane, to underground pioneers such as Andrew Weatherall, Hardway Brothers Phoreski, Pacific Horizons, Time & Space Machine, Prins Thomas, The Backwoods, Last Waltz, Begin… (the list goes on)...  
Thanks to their distinctive sound as both DJs and music makers, Coyote find themselves regularly invited to play music all across the UK and further afield, in places like Japan, Ibiza and Scandinavia.

Their latest 12”/mini album ‘Everything Moves, Nothing Rests’ has just been released on my last guest Phil Cooper’s label, NuNorthernSoul. Go check it via bandcamp.

Coyote have kindly put together a real treat of a mix spanning an hour or balearic, downtempo, world, italo, dub and house! The mix is available via my bio and soundcloud page- enjoy!

Ahoy Voyagers,

This month we have a stunning guest mix for you from Nick J. Smith aka Lone Saxon! 

Nick has a massive soft spot for all things late eighties ibiza, early 90’s dream house and the ethereal sounds that came with those times. Which is pretty much the inspiration behind any of his Lone Saxon productions or mix.

"When recording mixes, I tend to have to put myself in an imaginary place or situation to get the vibe going within myself. In regards to this recording, I’m in my imaginary DJ booth, back in the day Ibiza/Italy/Rimini. Everyone is dressed glam, shimmering, the 'pink' champs are flowing nicely and excitement is in the air. Soundtracking either by poolside late afternoon, early evening and then getting ready to hit the neon clubs. Or at an afters party when things are beginning to wind down or maybe... people are beginning to get their second wind. Hopefully you'll get that vibe listening to this mix."
