Colleen 'Cosmo' Murphy broadcast the 228th episode of Balearic Breakfast on her Mixcloud on June 24th 2025.
About this episode. – A friend recently asked me: "You spend so much time on the blog, why?" And I answered: "Because Colleen is a Friend, she's my Musical friend" And my friend went on "But you don't know her personally, you met her briefly only once, how can she be a Musical friend?" I answered "Some things can not be explained. They don't need to. Maybe I'm making things up in my mind, but I'd rather have a musical friendship with her than have a real friendship with other persons I know..." My friend looked at me and said "Yeah, I think I understand where you're going with that..."
And if something was to be proven here, today's show is another great example... I initially requested Queen's "Innuendo" and my friend Ana said to me "Colleen is never going to play that, it's too harsh", and she was right as our dear Captain wrote me and asked if I had another request, suiting a morning show better. I answered, saying, "sadly no, I don't. But don't worry, it will be for the next time!".
What hapenned was my initial request was perfectly hitting the chaos we see in the world today, it is a Grand Track but it did not meet the mood our dear Captain felt was the right one for today's episode. And it's totaly okay! Requesting songs is a Game, really, and the beauty of it is that Colleen is making the final decisions, letting her musical soul speak. So I wasn't expecting anything from my musical friend on today's episode...
Yet, then came the live show and the second song... And when I heard what Colleen said, I simply burst into tears. Once again, Colleen took the Lioncub in her arms, and gave him a musical hug. These moments, and I know a lot of other members of the family experienced them too, these moments are absolutely Priceless and Wonderful because Colleen lets her Spirit meet everyone of us. And this kindness is the reason why we love her the way we do... Of course, the link with today's post title is absolutely easy to make... We're all about Love here at Balearic Breakfast, we're sharing the music, we're not sharing our egos, we're sharing our unity, with one another, without paying attention to race, color, sexual or political orientations... If you respect me, if you Love me, I'll always be your brother, and my heart and my arms will always be openned wide... Be You, Be Proud, Join the Family, we're waiting for you... Love is a Rainbow... (Click here for last year's celebration)
Recycling an old photo from Wigstock in the early 90’s in New York’s Tompkins Square Park with my old friend Rich Renaldi for today’s Balearic Breakfast Pride Special! Thank you to all who contributed songs by the LGBTQ+ community for this morning’s 4.5 hour music marathon and thanks to all who kept me company on my Mixcloud Live during the stream. That was a true celebration and HAPPY PRIDE to our friends in the LGBTQ+ community.
I also want to thank all of those who have pre-order the next instalment in my Balearic breakfast compilation series on HEAVENLY RECORDINGS. Last week we announced the Balearic Breakfast volume 4 is coming out on the 29th August and its another limited double vinyl album with gorgeous artwork from Ardneks. It features some older songs that are quite expensive to get on vinyl along with cuts from contemporary artists that have never before been released on vinyl and I’m really proud of it. Also being released on the same date is the double CD compiling both volumes 3 and 4 of the Balearic Breakfast series. You can order it via the links in the comments.
Enjoy today’s Pride Celebration!

COLLEEN'S PRENSENTATION
The gorgeous, gorgeous voice of George Michael with a cover of Tim Buckley's Song to the Siren, the b-side to Michael's 2012 single White Light. And that was his last hit before his untimely passing four years later. Song to the Siren is such a gorgeous song.
It first came onto my radar via the 4AD collective, This Mortal Coil, with vocals by Elizabeth Fraser. And I had never heard George Michael's own beautiful take on this song. And thank you to Baker's Hill for that request.
Good morning, Balearicans. I'm Colleen Cosmo Murphy, hosting your weekly Balearic Breakfast. And today is our annual Pride special. So it's going to be a long show, I think coming up to about five hours, which is about the same as last year's Pride special. Hello to the Balearic Breakfast family over on my Mixcloud Live. I hope you could stick around as long as possible, as it really will be a marathon. Before we tuck in, I just want to thank all of those who have pre-ordered the next installment in my Balearic Breakfast compilation series on Heavenly Recordings. Last week, we announced the Balearic Breakfast Vol. 4. It's coming out on the 29th of August, and it's another limited double vinyl album with gorgeous artwork from Ardnyx. It features some older songs that are quite expensive to get on vinyl, along with cuts from contemporary artists that have never before been released on vinyl. And I'm very proud of it. Also being released on the same date is the double CD compiling both Volumes 3 and 4 of the Balearic Breakfast series. And you can order it via the Heavenly Bandcamp or from selected independent record stores. And I'll also host some record release parties in September at NT's Loft in London and Pike's in Ibiza.
Okay, today is a special show as we are featuring music by artists from the LGBTQ plus community. And I really look forward to this one as I discover new artists, new tunes, and I always learn something new. Thank you to all who contributed to today's show. So many great tunes, and there were multiple requests for certain artists. But because they're so good, I've tried to get on as much as possible. From the legends to the newbies, from jazz to pop to dance to indie, today's show runs the gamut so there's something for everyone. We're going to stay on the more meditative tip for a bit. And this next song is appropriate on a few levels, not only because it's led by Freddie Mercury, but also because the lyrics seem especially poignant and apt right now. We're going to keep the show as positive a celebration as possible. But this next song does acknowledge what is going on around us. This one is going out to Artur in Paris, from their 1984 album, The Works. This is Queen with Is This the World We Created.
We had two requests for British singer, songwriter and poet Labi Sifre. And thank you to Jen Ferguson and Rick Van Veen for that request. That was the title track to Sifre's third studio album, 1972's Crying, Laughing, Loving, Lying. A fantastic album from beginning to end. And he has such an interesting story. There was a great doc on the BBC, which you may be able to find somewhere, called This Is My Song, and I urge you to watch it.
Ahead of that, George Michael with a version of Joni Mitchell's Edith and the Kingpin, recorded live at Abbey Road and released as a b-side to Michael's 2008 Christmas single. And the original is from Mitchell's album, Hissing of the Summer Lawns. And yes, Baker still got two requests, as I couldn't choose between the two George Michael covers, as whatever he sings just has me absolutely melting. So I just had to pick myself up off the floor. Actually, also for Joni Mathis. I mean, what a voice. Bert Francois requested that song Foolish, which was produced and written by Tom Bell and Linda Creed. And it's from the Texan-born crooner's 1973 LP, I'm Coming Home.
Ahead of that, a request from Thanos Katronis for Canadian singer-songwriter and activist and icon, Katie Lang. That's a cover of The Air That I Breathe. The Hollies had a big hit with it in the early 1970s. Lang's version of The Air That I Breathe is from her 1997 LP, Drag, which is a bit of a concept album, a cover album in which most of the songs are related to smoking or dependence and addiction.
Ahead of that, a Blank and Jones ambient chill-out mix of the Pet Shop Boys' 1986 single, Love Comes Quickly. I absolutely love that song. That's from their album, Please. The song had a load of great remixes, including one by Shep Pettibone, but the one we heard came out much later, I think 2003, on Blank and Jones' Relax series. And thanks to Dominic Mesmer for putting that one on our radar.
And ahead of that, we had the New York City-born and Tamil Nadu-raised vocalist, multi-instrumentalist, and sonic shapeshifter, Ganavya with Forgive Me My from her 2024 LP, Like the Sky, I've Been Too Quiet. This song was produced by Chewbacca Hutchings, and Ganavya composed Forgive Me My from Nigerian writer Teju Coles' words, Forgive me my forgetfulness, no one can forget gentleness. And thanks to Rick Van Veen again in the Netherlands for that request.
Okay, you're tuned into the Balearic Breakfast Pride marathon special. And this next one is from another icon whose life took many twists and turns and who often doesn't get credit for all that she achieved, Dusty Springfield. Karen Bartlett wrote a fascinating book about her, Dusty, an Intimate Portrait of a Musical Legend. And I interviewed the author for a podcast called What I'd Say, Woman of Atlantic, if you want to check it out. This is a request from Paul Fitz for a song written and produced by the Pet Shop Boys for the 1989 film Scandal, Dusty Springfield with Nothing Has Been Proved.
Arthur Russell with Make One Two, the gem spa dub and sending that one out too. Herbie King and Terry Fincham. Russell was a fascinating musician who sadly passed away due to AIDS over 30 years ago ago. He crossed and melded so many different musical boundaries from folk to new music to avant-garde to dance. And he definitely made a splash in that arena under monikers like Loose Joints and Dinosaur L. And he was a singer, songwriter, producer, and cellist. And Richard King, the author, excuse me, you can hear I have a bad cold and sinus infection. Richard King wrote the book, put together I should say the book, Travels Over Feeling Arthur Russell, A Life, which was published last year on Faber. Beautiful book, best book on Arthur Russell, just incredible. And if you want to know what Gem Spa is or was, it was a newspaper stand, also a candy store that had the best egg creams on 2nd Avenue and St. Mark's in the East Village in New York, a total institution.
Okay, this next one, this next set I should say is from Queer Jazz, a group founded by award-winning jazz musician Aroah and my friend, DJ, curator, and presenter Tina Edwards. And their mission is to celebrate queer jazz artists. They host gigs around the UK, including a residency at the Vortex Jazz Club in London. And you can find out more at queerjazz.org. They suggested a few songs for today's Breakfast Pride special, and I thought, why not play all of them? We're doing a five-hour show. So here is the Queer Jazz segment, kicking off with Glaswegian artist Kitty with Everything You Wanted from her debut album, Something in the Water, released last year on Rebecca Vazmont's label, Rebecca Records.
A beautiful song called Solo by Hannah, a singer, songwriter, and producer who rides the gap between experimental R&B, ambient, and folk, and who certainly has a unique sound. Solo is from her debut 2022 EP, Colors of Now and Then. Ahead of that, British keyboardist, extraordinaire, Jessica Lauren, with Alefela from her album, Film, released last year on Impressive Collective and BBE Music. Lauren has been a fixture on the jazz and soul scene in the UK for decades, and she's a true pioneer. She's also performed with loads of legends like Gene Karn, Tom Brown, Dexter Wanzel, and is a member of Nick Wimbenzy's Space Jazz Outfit, Eminitive.
Ahead of that, Belgian singer, composer, dancer, and performer, Rainel Bacole, with God Complex. She's a rising star on the avant-garde soul scene and released her debut album, Healing Exhaustion, last year. We heard God Complex. Thank you to Queer Jazz for suggesting those four songs. You can check them out at queerjazz.org.
You're tuned in to the Balearic Breakfast Annual Pride Special. We're about an hour and a half in, probably three more hours to go at least. This next one was suggested by Kieran McCann in Glasgow for one of the most exciting contemporary artists and actors, Janelle Monae. It's from her third studio album, The Age of Pleasure, which she dedicates to the pan-African diaspora. It blends Afrobeat, soul, and also reggae like this one, Only Have Eyes 42.
Oh my gosh, I don't know if you're tearing up, but I certainly am. A Different Corner, a tribute mixed by Dave Oren. Of course, that's George Michael. We had a doubleheader that was requested by Barry Baranitz in Washington, D.C. who says, all of his music is incredibly important to me and I miss his voice and presence terribly. He also dedicates that to his husband, Kevin. I also want to wish them once again a very happy wedding. They got married a few months ago. There was a George doubleheaders before that. We heard the back to reality mix of Freedom 90, a soul to soul kind of remix. That's also a request from Barry. I know we've had quite a lot of George Michael in the first part of the show, but I just love his voice and he resonates with so many of us. I'm happy to feature him quite a bit.
Ahead of that, we had a request from Konstantinos Folias in Athens for some classic Frankie Knuckles. We heard his classic club mix of another house pioneer, A Diva, her 1989 single Beautiful Love from her debut album, A Diva. We'll have more from the late dance music icon, Frankie Knuckles, later in the show.
As I'm not feeling 100%, I forgot to back announce some of the other songs that we played earlier. There was another doubleheader from Sylvester. We had Sylvester and Jeannie Tracy with Here Is My Love requested by Eddie Sanchez. It's a 1981 single from Sylvester, singing in a very different register, not in his usual falsetto, which is what so many people recognize him by. I don't think one can overstate how talented Sylvester was. He could do it all, blues, funk, soul, rock, jazz, an incredibly talented singer and songwriter who was signed to the jazz label, Fantasy. He was openly gay and cross-dressing as a black man from the late 1960s. That's before Stonewall. He was a renegade and an iconoclast. We'll have more from Sylvester later in the show. We also played the psych magic remix of I Need Somebody to Love Tonight. Definitely a whole different flavor to Here Is My Love. That was requested by Virginia Ciotti, Andy Dyer, who said it's an absolute summer vibe, quite slinky and sexy, and Sylvester being way ahead of his time. And also to Susan Chan, who said she'd like to dedicate that song to all of the LGBTQ plus family, but most especially to my brother-in-law, Wilson. He's the best companion to parties and vacations. I can definitely attest to that. He's been at many of my parties and he's also an awesome roller skater. Yes, he definitely is. And the best uncle to both of our daughters, forever grateful for you and love you. And I have to say I've seen him in action with his nieces, teaching them how to roller skate at Rockefeller Plaza once when I was DJing there. And that was also requested by Eddie Sanchez, who also points out to the fact that it was produced by another gay icon who was sadly lost to AIDS like Sylvester, Patrick Cowley. Two unbelievably talented and forward-facing artists.
We also heard from Venezuelan musician and producer Arca, born Alejandro Garcia Rodriguez with time from their fourth studio album, 2020's Kick One, as requested by DJ Corbian. And that album marked a departure from the artist's previous ambient work and is self-described as an anti-pop album and touches on themes of gender and cultural identity. And the following year, Arca released four more Kick albums, four in one year.
Okay. This next artist is also getting a double header today, Luther Vandross. You may have seen the documentary Luther Never Too Much. And if you haven't, please make a point of doing so. I learned so much. He was on so many more records than I had initially thought. I also didn't know he identified as gay as he felt he had to keep it under wraps, which must have been incredibly difficult. He was on so many recordings on records by David Bowie, Roberta Flack, Diana Ross, Donny Hathaway, Bette Midler, Todd Rundgren of more. And of course, he had an illustrious solo career. Here he is with Greg Diamond's outfit, Bionic Boogie with Hot Butterfly as requested by Kevin Fleming.
Maximum Joy from Frankie goes to Hollywood's second album, Liverpool and sadly the final album. And that was requested by Luca Ospitone in Sardinia. And we had a Frankie goes to Hollywood double header. Earlier, we just heard a cover of the Norman Whitfield, Edwin Starr classic War. And that was very pro pro for these challenging times. It's from the Liverpudlian band's debut album, Welcome to the Pleasure Dome, which came out in 1984 on ZTT. And I absolutely adore this album. I asked for it for Christmas that year and I got it for my grandfather. He probably wasn't aware of some of the LP's themes. Thank you to Siobhan Murphy for that request.
Ahead of that, we heard a request from David Stoddard for another Luther Vandross song, Funky Music. And yes, it sounds like the song Fascination found on David Bowie's Young Americans. And that's because it sort of is. Vandross sang on that album and Bowie loved that song and refashioned it. And Vandross is rightly credited as co-writer as well. Funky Music was released on Vandross' solo debut, Luther, released a year after Young Americans.
You are tuned into the Balearic Breakfast annual Pride celebration special going probably for another two hours, maybe more. I can't remember. I think it's another two hours at least because I'm trying to get to every request or nearly every request. And this we're going to go into a little bit of an indie thing here. And I love this one.
British indie band Kitchens of Distinction. And it was a name that caught my eye and a sound that caught my ear when I was hosting shows on college radio in the 1980s. Then I had the chance to interview the band for their second album, Strange Free World, which came out in 1991 and was produced by Echo and the Bunnymen producer Hugh Jones. It's been regarded as one of the best shoegazing albums of all time. Carl Banitoff and Canada requested Quick as Rainbows.
Former Buzzcock turned solo artist, the late Pete Shelley, with a great Martin Rushant dub of his classic single Homo Sapien. And I love Martin Rushant's dub mixes of Human League. So thank you to Phil Thornton and Paul Tarpey for landing that Homo Sapien dub on my radar. Ahead of that, a request from Steve Clark for Can't Stand to Love by Hai, an Australian electronic musician who moved to the UK as part of the duo Dark Bells. After their split, she started DJing and released her debut EP and then an album. And her sophomore effort is coming out later this year. It's called Humanize and Can't Stand to Lose is one of the singles.
Okay, this next one is by London based DJ producer Karen Yame NG, who has released a few singles over the last few years. This is her second single called Taboo, and which DJ Corbian describes as Corbian describes as a blissful record talking about the taboo of female on female love. And DJ Corbian also says much respects for representing our community. This is from high energy, pioneer producer Patrick Cowley with Sea Hunt from his second album Megatron Man.
The New York state native moved to San Francisco in 1971, where he studied music, especially synths. And his future changed when he met Sylvester in 1978. And the two collaborated on so much great music together as we heard earlier. And thank you to Eddie Sanchez for that song suggestion.
Ahead of that Haitian Canadian producer Kay Trinata, part of the hip hop duo The Celestics and also Celestine, the first black producer and the first openly gay artist to win the award for Best Dance Electronic Album at the Grammy Awards in 2021 for his work on his sophomore album Bubba. We heard Leave Me Alone featuring Shea Leah and thanks to Bert Francois in Brooklyn for that request.
Ahead of that Ghost Assembly, I keep on making the same mistake and Ghost Assembly is Abigail Ward, who wrote the liner notes for the next Balearic Breakfast compilation volume four plug in that right now you can preorder it. And Abigail is also a great DJ, producer and writer. Abby will be coming up, Abigail will be coming up on the show this summer for an interview and a mix. And thanks to Chris Morgan for requesting that.
Ahead of that Boy George going under Jesus Loves You, Generations of Love and that's from the Martyr Mantras. The only studio album by Jesus Loves You and the fourth LP by Boy George released in 1990. And that song still holds so much meaning today. It was requested by both Michael Karm and Rina Lady Beige who says I can't stop listening to this. The lyrics feel especially powerful right now and big love to all the LGBTQ plus community.
You're tuned into the Balearic Breakfast Pride special featuring artists from the LGBTQ plus community. And I was overjoyed when Sue Forrest suggested this next one. It's by Queen Latifah who wowed us when she debuted as a rapper in the 1980s and then as an actress. And she's just an incredible talent. She's won a Grammy Award, a Primetime Emmy Award, a Golden Globe Award, three Screen Actors Guild Awards, two NAACP Image Awards, a nomination for an Academy Award. And she was the first hip hop artist to receive a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. Two decades ago she released the Dana Owens album in which she sings soul jazz and R&B covers including this song Hard Times originally performed by Dr. Buzzard's original Savannah band. Latifah's original version is sublime but then I found this extended house retouch by Midas Touch and just had to play it for you.
An absolutely killer rework by Abolobo of Sylvester's I Need You. The original the title track to Sylvester's 1980 LP Sell My Soul originally produced by Sylvester and Harvey Fuqua. And I've been playing this rework out a lot of my sets. I actually have to stop myself. Thank you to Tomohiro Yamada and David Stoddard for that request. I had about one of my favorite house songs of all time and I'm not even joking. It's a winning combo of Frankie Knuckle, Satoshi Tomiye and Robert Owens. Tears released in 1989 on FFRR and thank you to Danny Broderick for that request. And starting it off with Queen Latifah, Hard Times, the Queen's extended house retouch and that was requested by Sue Forrest.
Still going maybe another hour or just about an hour maybe just under on the Balearic Breakfast Pride special. Thank you all for joining me over on my Mixcod Live. It's a true marathon and I absolutely love, love, love this show.
Okay, well, this next one is a true journey and thanks to Rob Calcut the Urban Healer or Bunker Sessions as he's known on the Mixcod Live for this request. It's by Danny Tenaglia. Here going under the moniker The Look along with his longtime collaborator Peter Dow. It came out over three decades ago and whatever time you're listening to this and wherever you may be, try to place yourself into a dark club at 5am right now. It will make even more sense. The Look with Glamour Girl, the Bochinche Prelude, Ballroom Mix and Moog Reprise.
An eternal favorite, I never get sick of this one. The Frankie Knuckles mix of Hercules and Love Affair, Blind featuring Anoni on vocals and thanks to DJ Corbian, AJ Elliott and Sue Forrest for suggesting it. Ahead of that UK based DJ and producer Wallace with his Fantasy Sound debut featuring the evocative vocals of Love Letters. We heard Cravings, a celebration of desire, risk and release and it came out a few months ago and thank you to Matt Raistrick for that request.
Okay, you probably know I'm not a DJ who is noted for playing high energy tracks or for remixes with the word trance in them. That is today is a pride celebration. I'm making an exception as all these sound great and are truly uplifting and high energy is a form of dance music that pervaded the gay clubs and should be recognized. Plus, I love Erasure and I love Andy Bell's voice. This is a request from David Lucas for a 1992 ABBA cover by Erasure, Take a Chance on Me, the Philip Kelsey Take a Trance on Me mix.
For this Pride special, we just heard Tempo featuring Juliet Roberts. Saturday night, Sunday morning, the Tempo mix requested by Rachel Blackman, who is Robot Florian on the chat. She says it reminds me of finding a home at Paradise Factory, a gay club in Manchester around 1993 to 96. Three floors of great dance music. I used to go on a Friday night when the loft was women only, but I'd certainly explore the other floors to New Year's Eve. Ninety four was memorable that the whole club was taken over by the women's space. One thousand women dancing. Plus, I didn't know that track was based on Thelma Houston from 1978 until you played a lot of discotheque in Manchester. Happy Pride, everyone.
And I want to say a happy pride to our LGBTQ Balearic Breakfast family members. Thank you so much. One last reminder that preorders for Balearic Breakfast Vol. 4 Double Vinyl and Balearic Breakfast Vol. 3 and 4 CD are now up. The release date is at the end of August. And if you aren't in Glastonbury this weekend but are in Ibiza, I'm playing at Pike's on Sunday night, all night long in Freddie Mercury's bedroom. And the following Friday, the 4th of July, Virginia C.O.T. and Daisy Bell are joining me at N.T.'s Loft in London for an evening party.
Leaving you with one last song, the title track to Gloria Gaynor's 1975 album, Never Can Say Goodbye. This song was requested by Atul Joshi, who said this song was my husband and my send off music at our, still back then, illegal same-sex wedding. And we left through an archway of 200 arms raised as a gateway to a happy new life.
Thanks to all for joining me on the Balearic Breakfast Annual Pride Special. Happy Pride to our LGBTQ plus family members. Wishing you a wonderful month, a wonderful year, a wonderful life. This is the Butchler Butch remix of Gloria Gaynor going out to Atul Joshi.
Thanks for listening.
