↓ ↓ ↓ INTERVIEW WITH JULIAN ↓ ↓ ↓

Q: Thanks for your contribution to our mix series, how did you prepare for this mix, and how would you describe the eventual result?

A: Thank you for the invite! I usually prepare for a mix with 4-5 songs that i am really feeling at the moment and then try to build a mood around it. So this mix turned out to be a journey from jazz/fusion to ambient to balearic boogie with some obscurities in between – mostly japanese..

Q: Is there a record in the mix that you associate with a special story?

A: Definitely the yuri harada record. Its a yasuaki shimizu produced enka record. I was introduced to this record several years ago while in tokyo by austin who runs the incidental music label and the tone poem record store in portland. I was instantly blown away by that song! obvioulsy that record was impossible to get a hold of then. I assume since then some deadstock has appeared and i was able to get myself a copy via discogs.

Q: How do you dig for new music, and/or what kind of things arouse your interest in music?

A: These days mostly by listening to mixes and radio shows and the occasional visit in my local record store.
It can be really hard to describe what it is, one is looking for in music. Also, these things change over time. I would say “the unknown” and “the unexpected”, records that take you to places your mind has not been to before.

Q: One record you will never let go, and one that doesn’t want to leave your wantlist?

A: I moved flat recently and had to get rid of a lot of records which was not an easy thing. Now i don't plan to let go of any more records :)	
A record that doesn't want to leave my wantlist – probably some super rare italian library record or pretty much any tom wolgers release related record.

Q: Music bonds people. Any djs/projects/shops/etc.. you would like to shout out?

I want to give a shout out to M. August. Every single mix he does is a world of its own and an amazing musical journey from start to finish. You can find his mixes on soundcloud.
The before-mentioned Tone Poem record store is always a great source of inspiration! 
Also keep your eyes peeled for the next couple releases on our reissue label Edition Hawara later this year!

Travel With Synths of World "Hazy Dreaming"

Mike Burns 22.10.2022

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.

www.musicfrommemory.com

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.

"During the peak of the pandemic, I lived on a mountain with friends. Since we couldn't travel, we imagined other places by listening to music from all over the world. This mix is a homage to that time - despite its difficulties, these remain precious musical memories. The mix brings together gwoka, spiritual jazz, afro funk, Afro Cuban rhythms, balearic, and ambient sounds. It's designed to be listened to in nature or quiet places, alone or with friends. 

Tracklist:

1. Vangelis - We Were All Uprooted
2. Kiyoshi Yamaya, Kifu Mitsuhashi - Nanbu Ushioi-Uta
3. Ritual Trio - Africanos/Latinos
