Colleen 'Cosmo' Murphy broadcast this new episode of Balearic Breakfast on her Mixcloud on September 8th, 2026. ABOUT THIS EPISODE Our Beloved show celebrates its 6th Anniversary. For the occasion, Colleen prepared a Marathon mix, including every possible request that has been submitted on her socials. On the chat, the excitement was palpable, everyone feeling the urge to share the immense joy of being a part of such an important event. Our friend Dancing James summarised the situation the best, saying: "It really is the collection of usual suspects and repeat offenders in the chat today. So good to see so many of the normal miscreants and work absconders on here!" Of course, our Captain was on fire, delivering an "Epic Sounding Mix", despite a busy schedule, following the WOH festival and other gigs she had while preparing for this Anniversary. We all had a laugh when Colleen shared on Mixcloud "LOL! Already had a skip, flubbed up words, and the wrong speed. Hey - It's a 6 hour show 😉" Being a part of such a musical experience teaches you gratitude, I really can tell you! Towards the end of the show, everyone was emotional, and I would like to share just one thought left by our pal Davstod: "Absolutely loving the show - amazing tunes, thank you Colleen for six years of incredible music and community" I would like also to send my thoughts to a dear friend whom we've recently lost, Olivier Gourdon (Men Tensel). He recently passed away to the next realm from a heart attack. The Balearic Breakfast Family sends condolences to his family and friends. He will be sorely missed and never forgotten... Six years... So many joys... So many memories... Everything keeps on changing, always, like on a never-ending turning tourniquet... Still, somewhere, in the distance, you can hear some laughter, some loud music playing from a distant ship, you can see fireworks and feel happy souls meeting the heavenly skies... Children there, children everywhere, laughing, crying, sharing, hugging, dancing... And nothing counts anymore... Nothing hurts... If I were to leave this earth, I would ask my friends to play me every show before the Lord takes me to my last heavenly home... No words will ever be able to describe what we are when we're all together... Never... Happy Birthday to our Beloved show... The most important attribute of the 6 is its loving, caring nature. Aptly nicknamed the motherhood/fatherhood number, the 6 is all about sacrifice, healing, protecting, and teaching others. No family or community can function without the attention of the 6 – it is the glue that keeps a family and community together... To Our Eternity... Listen back to episode 26-34 of Balearic Breakfast: Wow - 6 years of Balearic Breakfast, 5 compilations and a 6-hour music marathon to celebrate our anniversary. Today’s radio show is now archived on my Mixcloud and thank you to all 2000+ people who stopped by the Mixcloud Live and to the core family on the chat room for keeping me company all day. We’ve been through a pandemic and a lot of challenging personal moments and our community has helped pull us through the hard times. It means so much to me and thank you for sharing your friendship and musical passion in our shared journey. Music heals. And thank you to all who have pre-ordered the forthcoming Balearic Breakfast Volume 5 on Heavenly Recordings - and thank you to Jeff Barrett and the Heavenly fam for their belief in me and BB.

Colleen Cosmo Murphy Presents Balearic Breakfast Vol. 5. The double LP comes with a signed postcard exclusive to Bandcamp. Preorder Now! PREORDER BALEARIC BREAKFAST VOL. 5 HERE! A few days ago, Colleen shared a video on her socials announcing the preorder campain for the forthcoming Balearic Breakfast Vol. 5 compilation. Don't miss this, as these compilations sell fast and are very hard to find at a reasonable price after they sell out! Colleen Cosmo Murphy Presents Balearic Breakfast Vol.5 double LP comes with a signed postcard exclusive to Bandcamp. Artwork by Ardneks Take a look at the sonic landscape of club culture today and Colleen ‘Cosmo’ Murphy stands out as one of the pioneers on many fronts. Whether she’s dropping Cosmedelica remixes on her Love Dancin’ sound system at We Out Here festival, hosting listening sessions for her hugely influential Classic Album Sundays, or telling ‘Turntable Tales’ for BBC’s Radio 4, she has created new avenues for experiencing music and thinking deeply about how it affects us and our communities. So here we are at Volume 5 of this series that once again captures Colleen’s unique take on Balearic. ‘Anger is Divisive’ runs the spoken word sample weaved into the pastoral ambience of ‘Quiet Storm’ from Sewell and The Gong’s Patron Saint Of Elsewhere on Chris Coco’s DSPPR label from 2025. It’s a fitting opening to a collection put together with and for love. Born from the same lockdown isolation as Balearic Breakfast, ‘Fruits of Life’ from Sakura Murakami’s 2020 album Hot Liquor offers a Tiki flavoured cocktail of tropical psychedelia. Digging deeper into her crates, Colleen then uncovers Flayer’s ‘Wanna Get Back Your Love’, a slow and sleazy piece of cosmic soul from Italy in 1983. Richard Earnshaw’s ‘Rise’, featuring Roy Ayers and spoken word artist Ursula Rucker, was hidden away on his only album from 2019. This slow jazz infused groover proves to be the perfect segue record as the collection hits the dancefloor with the Spiritual Life style deepness of ‘Ore Yeye O’ by Moroccan house producer Cee ElAssaad and vocalist QVLN (Quetzal Guerrero). We then return to spoken word with Joshua Idehen’s diasporic club anthem ‘Everything Everywhere All At Once’. You’re in it deep now, head down next to the speakers as The Seven Ups bring you ‘A Cosmic Scale’, a heavy slab of psych rock meets afrobeat by way of Melbourne. We then take a trip over to Sheffield where Richard Barratt under his Crooked Man alias reunites with his dance music subverters All Seeing I for a wonderfully skewed mutant disco classic. Bringing things down gently with the sun kissed ‘80s soul of Lovetempo ft Wattison’s ‘Wanna Be With You’ (ft. Mattison) out of Brooklyn, Colleen eases into the perfect exit to her eclectic journey with Santana drummer Michael Shrieve joined by Kevin Shrieve and the great Klaus Schulze for the Berlin new age cosmic epic from 1984 ‘Transfer Station Blue’. Music for the head and feet brought to you with love by one of our masters of sonics and selection. As with each of the previous Balearic Breakfast albums, many of the tracks featured have never been available on vinyl before and the ones that have been usually go for eye watering sums of money on Discogs. Please be aware that these albums sell out quickly. THE PLAYLIST 1. Sewell & Gong - Quiet Storm (Ruf Dug Remix) 2. Shakura Murakami - Fruits of Life 3.

Colleen 'Cosmo' Murphy broadcast this new episode of Balearic Breakfast on her Mixcloud on September 1st, 2026. ABOUT THIS EPISODE Colleen had a blast during the WOH festival, and so did the many dancers and friends who visited and stayed at the Love Dancing Tent! Of course, we all wished our dear Captain a happy Birthday on August 24th while she was taking a good and well-needed rest (thanks dear Kay for this great collage)! With the new Balearic Breakfast compilation in the works, Colleen already received and listened to the test pressings 😉, the Balearic Breakfast Family joined Colleen today and took part in a sunny yet relaxed episode while keeping an eye (and a pen) close to the Request Line, which Colleen opened a few days ago as we're going to celebrate Balearic Breakfast's 6th Anniversary next Tuesday! As always, Colleen announced the forthcoming dates as she's prepping up to play again in NYC very soon. As Kevin shared on the chat "I've been waiting for you to announce your NYC gigs. Of course I'll be there. After 35 years, I've decided to put some serious effort into my footwork. I'll be bringing baby powder for the dance floor"! Listen back to episode 26-33 of Balearic Breakfast: This morning’s Balearic Breakfast is now archived on my Mixcloud for listening back and thanks to the BB fam for joining me on the Mixcloud Live chat – I missed you last week! But I’m feeling better and today’s show features mainly new tunes on my radar – a mixed musical bag as always. Today I also share some big announcements – tomorrow the tracklist to my forthcoming Balearic Breakfast 5 compilation will be revealed and there are a lot of goodies! I’m very proud of it and thank you to the artists and labels who agreed to include their tunes and most of all, a huge hug to the @heavenlyrecordings crew for being the dream team. Its been wonderful to work with Heavenly on this series and I appreciate their belief in me. Head over to their Bandcamp on Friday to pre-order. The other big news is next week we are celebrating the 6th Anniversary of Balearic Breakfast on Tuesday, from 10am GMT to whenever on my Mixcloud Live. The request line is up (check previous post) and please read the whole post before requesting songs you discovered on Balearic Breakfast.

Colleen 'Cosmo' Murphy broadcast this new episode of Balearic Breakfast on her Mixcloud on Augut 18th, 2026. ABOUT THIS EPISODE With the We Out Here Festival starting in a few days, Colleen will have a lot to think about as the Love Dancing Tent will be a major part of the musical event! With such a line-up, there's no doubt that the dancers will have a blast! In this episode, Colleen took the time to present the line-up, and I know a few friends who can't wait for the Love Dancing Tent to open its wings! Of course, we will share a few pictures and videos from the event here next week. Also, don't forget that Colleen gave an interview to "Beat Wala" and you can listen to it on Spotify. During this new episode, the Balearic Breakfast Family gathered around Colleen in a never ending river of Joy. Of course, discovering new songs is always a pleasure, we heread for instance Puerto Montt City Orchestra's new single (Reg Guitar) and this was so great as I did an interview last week with them, some musical synchronicity can't harm anyone, right?! Also, we really enjoyed Colleen's new remix, which really put some springs in our steps! Listen back to episode 26-32 of Balearic Breakfast: This morning’s Balearic Breakfast is now up on my Mixcloud and this tune playing is my new Cosmodelica Remix of @joshuaidehen ‘Everything Everywhere All At Once’ out now on @heavenlyrecordings (the next track being mixed in is a forthcoming single on @merecumberecordings by @__stefanoranieri__ and @haldodj ). This week’s show is the last broadcast before We Out Here and tomorrow I’m off to help set up the sound system in our Love Dancin’ tent (will share reels and pics when there is wifi!). To say I’m excited is an understatement as its one of my favourite weeks of the year. Please stop by Love Dancin’ and say hello and check out yesterday’s post for the full Cosmodelica and Friends line-up on Saturday. Today’s show features more of your requests and some new tunes including @djrontrent new project LA MARR, a cut from the forthcoming album by @jim_uk15 and a radio preview of @turbotito & Ragz new remix of @boysshorts_ . Next Tuesday I will not be broadcasting Balearic Breakfast due to the festival and my birthday and also because I’m headed to Ibiza for the last time this season for @pikespresents 528 where I’ll be spinning with Mr. Scruff and Nightmares on Wax. But I’ll be back in the record room hosting BB live on Tuesday the 1st September and please save the date as the 8th September is the 6th Anniversary Special. I hope to see you on our Love Dancin’ floor and thanks for listening.

When we heard the Puerto Montt City Orchestra's version of "Red Guitar", we all agreed that it was a huge musical achievement. I had to ask Angus Murray and Tim Salter a few questions... 1) 'Red guitar' was David Sylvian's debut solo single after the dissolution of Japan, a band which started as a group of friends. The song is a love statement to music. How much did that influence the way you worked on the remix? Red Guitar was the first song I (Angus) ever bought with my own money and it therefore means a huge amount to me. The honest truth is I don't know what initially drew me to buy it, I was 11 and wasn't aware of Japan at that point (that deep dive happened later) I probably just thought he looked amazingly cool and wished I could have the same hair. I have always been interested in the drive for self-actualization and this song really speaks to that. Why are people compelled to write music, create pottery, cook etc - it often feels like a wonderful rejection of those things we are supposed to strive for. 2) The EP contains three different versions of Sylvain's composition, which blend elements of jazz and pop in an intriguing musical trip. You chose to go the Balearic way here, proposing an extremely ethereal vision of the song. Do you remember what element of the original song took you there? When we first decided to try and do a cover of this song, we spent a long time just trying to work out the chords and all the key changes! Once we were happy with the main piano element I think this ultimately led the direction of the whole tune. Stripping out some of the more musical flourishes allowed us to go for that more laidback balearic style, but I think it was the use of a female vocal that made us want to try and achieve an ethereal sound. This then meant using certain synth sounds to support that style. 3) What is great to see is that both PMCO and Coyote's mixes shine their way through, keeping the Balearic message intact. You all really went far on that one, musically keeping the musicianship found in the original song. Was it something you desired to achieve from the start? Transposing a song to a new dimension while keeping its complex musical core? It seems like a perfect tribute to me, intellectually speaking! That is really kind of you to say because as we mentioned to Colleen if we had stopped to really look at how complex the track is musically I am not sure we would have attempted to cover it! When a song means that much to you it is important to do it justice. We are super lucky to have 2 great musicians in PMCO (Ellis on guitar & Dave on bass), so our releases and remixes typically have a 'played live' element. That really helped with this song as it meant we could maintain some of the musicality of the original. I am reading a huge amount in to the fact that David Sylvian liked one of our posts about the release - I think that is pretty much as close to official approval as we can hope for. 4) When listening to your version, we are surprised to see you didn't keep Sylvian's voice; new vocals being recorded by Maya Blandy. Why is that? Can you tell us more about the story you wanted to convey there using Maya's vocals and adding these spoken words to the final mix? We wanted the song to be able to have a proper release and that couldn't happen with the original vocal (unless someone had very deep pockets to clear the samples). We had worked with Maya previously and thought her ethereal vocals would really match where we were taking the track. Tim's brother Jeremy has featured on a number of PMCO releases (most notably Our Patagonian Friends), so we thought his spoken vocals would work as a great counterpoint to the main singing. 5) We met before on the blog, and if anything, your remix perfectly represents Puerto Montt City Orchestra's musical DNA, the one taking a song to stratospheric and new heights, including beautiful and realistic-sounding instruments and effects. Sonically speaking, when do you know where to draw the line and not take out too much from the original song? Our favourite remixes have always been those that take the original track into a new direction but still have a reference or some kind of lineage to the original song. If you are going to throw everything away you may as well write an original track. Ultimately, it is a balancing act and probably one of the most fun elements of doing a remix. This is slightly different to our remixes as it is a cover, there are no elements from the original track. We kept the original structure pretty much intact for the main mix, which gave us a bit more room to experiment with the dub version. In the end, we wanted to do an updated version that would work in a balearic DJ set, but anyone listening who knew the original would pretty much instantly recognise it. Thank you so much Angus and Tim! Thanks for having us Artur, it was our pleasure. You can purchase this incredible track here on Bandcamp. Follow Puerto Montt City Orchestra on Instagram.

Colleen 'Cosmo' Murphy broadcast this new episode of Balearic Breakfast on her Mixcloud on Augut 11th, 2026. ABOUT THIS EPISODE August is always a busy month for our Captain, and she could be found, among other musical places, at the Houghton Festival where she played a memorable set. She shared her memories of the last events she did at the beginning of this great episode, and was very happy to see how many of us were online with her today! Today's episode has that "cosmic" opening (and a few musical references to the solar eclipse that is about to happen on August 12th), and also a lot of songs with an affirmed rhythmic soul (and structure) which perfectly represented both Colleen's busy musical adventure and our own life under the deathening sun... The Familly gathered in a joyful musical moment, absolutely loving Colleen's set (including the small wink to David Mancuso as Prepare to Energize was played by our beloved friend at his 1984 Loft Party at Prince Street). The Loft's spirit was quite present as another track, Heaven (Danny Krivit Re-Edit), was also played by Colleen at the Loft, I remember that from seeing a video on her socials, which made me discover that incredible tune! Colleen also played a track from the French Band "Les Négresses Vertes" which was very successful in the 1990s (their biggest hit was Here's Summer (Voilà l'été), taken from their 1988 and first studio album Mlah), you can discover more about the band on their discogs page! Ed. Note: Not to forget, our Friend Terry Fincham is playing his London debut at the Chop shop Tavern on August 15th (141 Tilbury Road)! Enjoy! Listen back to episode 26-31 of Balearic Breakfast: This morning’s Balearic Breakfast is now archived on my Mixcloud and available to listen back. Today’s show is mainly requests including tunes inspired by tomorrow’s solar eclipse - we’ll be able to see about 90% of the sun covered by the moon tomorrow evening in the UK. And if you get up early enough - about an hour before sunrise, and without too much light pollution and a clear horizon - you may be able to see six planets - Mercury, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus and Neptune - in an arc just over the horizon. And on top of that, tomorrow is a new moon and in the evening until dawn on Thursday morning, the meteor showers we see in August will be at their peak - as this is the month our planet travels through the debris left by the Swift-Tuttle comet. So there is your astronomical report from me, DJ Cosmo/ On today’s Balearic Breakfast we also paid tribute to an otherworldly musical talent, the late William Orbit who sadly transitioned to the next realm in July. As a producer, musician and composer he worked with some of the most commercially successful stars on the planet including Madonna for whom he produced the Ray of Light album, a highlight in her discography that won two Grammy Awards. Alongside his commercial endeavours. he was also an experimental music pioneer. I first got into him via his Strange Cargo album in 1987 - the record company had sent the radio station a cassette and as we didn’t play cassettes I snagged it and listened to it over and over on my Sony Walkman and was transported into his multi-faceted musical world. William Orbit rest in musical paradise. Enjoy the show and I’ll be back streaming next Tuesday from 10am to 12pm BST on my Mixcloud Live. Thanks for listening.

I met Bradley Lucke from Statues. The band, fronted by Bradley and Mark Crooks, just released a brand new track, "Leaves in Summer" on the Music For Dreams label. 1) Hi Bradley! Thank you for joining us! Can you present Statues? How did that musical project come about? Statues started around 2015 with various friends, including Mark Crooks, getting together and laying down beats, keys, and guitars, which were eventually shaped into tracks. One of these was our first single, "Alaula," released on Claremont 56 in 2016. 2) Musically speaking, how would you describe Statues? We tend to follow the path of a sound and feeling we recognize, I guess. Most of the tracks are built around keys and atmospheric sounds that end up sounding like Statues. You could describe it as Balearic electronica! 3) Colleen recently played your latest effort, « leaves in summer » in her last Balearic breakfast episode. What is the story of that track? The track came together late last year. Mark had sent over some lovely arpeggio keys, and the track was built around those parts. Friends Andy Bainbridge and Steve Carr did a fantastic job remixing the track so i had to find a good home for it, i contacted Kenneth Bager who runs Music For Dreams who was happy to release it. 4) Your work has been remixed by fellow musicians and DJs, including Coyote and Paul «Mudd » Murphy. It’s an impossible question to answer, but if you had to chose a remix that left you breathless over the years, which one would it be and why? That's hard to answer as all the remixes are great! But if I had to pick one, it would be Clear Skies (The Vendetta Suite) remix! The extra production added for that remix just felt so fitting for the original track and the label, Is It Balearic. 5) Last but not least, what is coming next for Statues? We have a new track coming out soon on the Music For Swimming Pools Vol 3 compilation, compiled by label boss Pete Herbert—our second installment for MFSP. Thank you so much Bradley! You can find all of Statues' tracks on their Bandcamp. You can also follow them on Instagram.

Colleen 'Cosmo' Murphy broadcast this new episode of Balearic Breakfast on her Mixcloud on July 28th, 2026. ABOUT THIS EPISODE In this new edition of our beloved show, Colleen meets two great DJs, Jimpster (head of Freerange Records) and Sarah Sweeney (co-founder of Eves Drop Collective). Sharing their latest musical endeavours, they also took some time to share their musical adventures and propose mixes that we all enjoyed to the max (Jimpster's mix was a modern, positive-oriented piece of music with an intriguing start, while Sarah's one was a high-energy musical trip, with a few cosmic outbursts, not forgetting some balearic flowering tracks and also including a few much-beloved classics)! The show was streamed live by Adam as Colleen was flying to Norway 😍 Listen back to episode 26-29 of Balearic Breakfast: Yesterday’s Balearic Breakfast is now up on my Mixcloud a day late as I was in transit via 3 flights to Henningsværfor Trevarefest.

He’s also put together an exclusive mix that seamlessly mixes the more Balearic flavours of the label. Also joining me is DJ Sarah Sweeney who is co-founder of Eves Drop Collective. She also plays at festivals like Wilderness (this weekend!), Big Love and of course We Out Here where she along with the mighty Eves Drop join me for my Cosmodelica takeover in our Love Dancin’ tent.

Colleen 'Cosmo' Murphy broadcast this new episode of Balearic Breakfast on her Mixcloud on July 21st, 2026. ABOUT THIS EPISODE In this new edition of our beloved show, Colleen takes us on an unexpected sailing trip, starting smoothly and then stepping up the pace, always with grace. A lot of songs in the first hour of today's show deal with departures, new starts and challenges to face, and songs like Eleanor Rigby perfectly represent that main feeling as we all try to sail this life to the best of our abilities... Then, in the second hour, Colleen meets Pete Herbert for a short but very informative interview as Pete shares his new musical projects with us. I have done a transcription of the interview should you need it! Listen back to episode 26-28 of Balearic Breakfast: This morning’s Balearic Breakfast is now archived on my Mixcloud for your listening back pleasure. The first hour includes new tunage by Filip Nikolic Ragz Woolfy @djkocoakashimokita Cervo and Dave Angel along with more of your requests.

Right now I have in the studio with me a Balearic favorite, Pete Herbert. How are you doing, Pete? [Pete] Hi, yeah, I'm very good, thank you. Yeah, good to be on the show. [Colleen] Oh, it's good to see you. I remember the first time I met you was at Atlas Records, way back in 1999. What a great shop, because you co-founded that shop, didn't you? [Pete] That's right. Yeah, yeah, yeah. There was a few of us involved. That's it. Yeah. Yeah. 95, I think we opened. Yeah. So we ran through to 2001. Yeah. [Colleen] Wow. It was a great record shop in the middle of Soho. It was always on my route every two weeks. There were so many great shops in Soho at the time. Yours was really eclectic. That's why I really liked it. Fantastic. And then, you know, I was really a big fan of your work, especially a lot of the stuff that you did with our friend, our mutual friend Phil Misson with the Reverso 68 and Frontera. I mean, just really great kind of new disco kind of grooves. And you've been on this scene for a very, very long time. And, you know, it's great that you're still kicking it, which is great. [Pete] Yeah, yeah. Still going, that's it. [Colleen] Now, you have a lot of different things going on. I know you have your promo agency, but you also have your own record label, Music for Swimming Pools, which I believe was the name of an EP a long time ago as well. Correct? [Pete] That's right. Yes. Yeah, yeah. That's it. I've managed to sort of put it all in one thing. It was an EP a long time ago and it was a radio show I did for Sonica in Ibiza, which was I feel like that was about 15 years ago, something like that. It was like a weekly show, monthly show. And then I'd always had the idea to make it into a label at some point. And then, yeah, it happened. And I started the first release was with Phil, actually. We did Reverso 68 EP. I've just realized as well, it's actually that was 10 years ago. So this will be the 10 year anniversary for the label. [Colleen] Oh, my gosh. We better get a compilation out before the end of the year. [Pete] Yeah, exactly. I literally thought about that the other day. So, yeah, that's one of the things that might be coming later in the year. [Colleen] And you have a new album out as well called Far Flung. Can you tell us a little bit about that? Because it was the name of an EP a few years ago... [Pete] That's right, yes. [Colleen] And it's now been expanded. [Pete] Yeah, that's exactly. It was an EP, a digital EP. And you know what it's like. It's like you blink and you miss those. And it kind of it really encapsulated the kind of sound of the label at the time. It was a couple of years old. And I've been working on tracks since, and I always wanted to get them out just beyond the digital kind of realm. So it's become an album. There's new tracks and a few tweaks, slightly different versions and stuff. So that is the that's yeah, it's it's new but old. [Colleen] And what's the kind of sound and the flavor? [Pete] So, yeah, it's let's say this sort of new balearic kind of sound. It's a dance floor stuff, some very downtempo, very chilled stuff, a little bit electronic. There's a few players on there. Robin Lee does amazing keyboard work on there. [Colleen] He's great. He's just phenomenal. [Pete] That's it. Totally. That's it. And he's he's I've always worked with him over the years. So there's it's yeah, it's a bit of a mix of stuff. And it's kind of a lot of it was recorded in different places along the way, like when I lived in Bali for a few years, some of it's recorded out there, some of it's tracks sort of made on the road and stuff like that. So it's just a bit of a I don't like a travelogue of sounds from the last decade or so in one place. [Colleen] So it's like the international man of mystery sound! What do you mean by new balleric sound to that? That interested me when you said that... [Pete] Yeah, I guess more like the, you know, the sort of contemporary sound with a bit more electronic production, studio stuff, rather than, you know, live recordings and things like that, you know, done in Logic, editing, and that obviously with, you know, with people like involved. So yeah, that's kind of my what I was thinking, you know, what I'm thinking of that. So it's like a bit of a new take on stuff. [Colleen] And we were just talking before we started recording the interview that you were in Bali for three years just before COVID. And it seems like Bali has a very balearic scene, if I from what I can gather. I've never been there. So I don't know. But it seems like a lot of those DJs are playing there. [Pete] Yeah, that's it. It's got it's I mean, obviously, you know, it's a beautiful tropical island. It's got the climate and amazing beaches. And the you know, the on the West Coast, it's got it's got the sunsets and stuff. So it totally, you know, it was a perfect setting for that. And people coming from all over the place all over the world, just just coming on holidays and that. And so it's it's it just, you know, developed this kind of scene there, I guess. And while I was there, I was working at a venue there, Potato Head. And we were booking people from all over people, you know, as people are coming across, especially doing tours in Australia and stuff like that. So, you know, we were getting a really good mix of artists and stuff coming. And, you know, who doesn't want to have a holiday in Bali? [Colleen] Yeah, I would sign up. [Pete] We were trying to get you over there. I remember at some point some dates didn't work. [Colleen] Okay. Yeah, it is definitely on my wish list. But yeah, that but now you're back here in Balearic Britain. Lucky you. And this summer, you do it, you're doing a bunch of festivals. And one of them is Campo Sancho. Can you tell us? I've played there before. But can you let our listeners know a little bit about this festival? [Pete] Yeah, that's absolutely so Campo Sancho. So it's the kind of it's grown out of Sancho Panza, which was the the sound system of Matt and Jim. That was, I mean, it was a mainstay at Notting Hill Carnival for at least 20 years. And, you know, when they started, it was warehouse parties and stuff. They did that. They had an amazing sound system at the carnival. And when they, you know, retired from the carnival, you know, this was, I think, a next step for them that they wanted to do. So they've got this boutique, shall we say, festival in up near Stevenage, Hertfordshire, so just north of London. It's pretty small in terms of festival size. That's what they want. It's really music-oriented. There's no like commercial stuff. There's very DIY. There's no sponsorship. It's quite family-based, but party as well. You know, it's a good mix. And yeah, musically, it's, you know, it's you've been there, you know, it's on the money. It's like, it's really, really good mix of genres. But, you know, with their kind of style that they used to have, if you ever went to the carnival and heard their sound system. Yeah, it's all that. And it's kind of this year, there's like, there's a new area, which is in the woods, upwards. So that's, I'll be doing something there on a Sunday. It's on Friday, Saturday, Sunday, end of July. So I'll be doing Sunday as a Music for Swimming Pools takeover, which is like a daytime thing, two till 10pm, I think we're running. And I've invited Phil, obviously Phil Weiss is going to come and play, Nancy Noyes, and Andy Wilson from who originally set up Sonica as well. So it's a nice, you know, mix for the label and work there for sure. At the festival. [Colleen] Oh, that sounds lovely. It does sound like, as long as you have the weather, it definitely is Balearic Britain, I would say on that one, isn't it? Wow. Well, will you be having remixes coming out on your album too? What else is coming up for Swimming Pools? [Pete] Yes, so that's the album we just talked about. That's going to drop at the end of this month. I have there's a series of comps, Music for Swimming Pools, volume three is about to drop, hopefully not too far away in the summer, which is a mix of mainly new music. So it's like exclusive tracks from people that have been on the label before some of my productions. And possibly the 10-year anniversary comp as well that we thought of the other day that that'll be happening as well. And then maybe there will be some remixes for the Far Flung comp as well. That's the plan. [Colleen] Wow, sounds like you have a lot going on as always. Well, congratulations on 10 years of running an independent label, not an easy thing to do. So hats off to you. Have a great time at the festival. And thank you so much for this exclusive mix you've given us as well. [Pete] Thanks for having me.

Worldwide FM broadcast the 104th episode of Balearic Breakfast on September 06th 2022. ABOUT THIS EPISODE The last days of summer seem like a perfect title for this episode! Back then, Colleen just came back from a well-fed summer, including a trip to Berlin (Audio-Technica was celebrating 60 years and they putt on an exhibition event in Berlin, an open day in their new Analogue Foundation venue with record sellers, stalls, food and a DJ set from Colleen and JAW Family) – where she met Russell Elevado (who engineered D'Angelo"s "Voodoo" studio album) – and, of course, her residency at the We Out Here Festival from the Love Dancing Tent! For this very episode, Colleen posted the request line on September 03rd, writing on her socials, "We are back with the Balearic Breakfast Request Line! Please help me with 2 hours of music for this Tuesday morning's show on Worldwide FM" - over to you..." This episode has a very calm and smooth soul. Colleen takes you on a long musical journey. The second part of the show blends seamlessly with the first; you don't even notice time passing while you listen to this great musical trip! I remember this one very fondly, by the way, because I discovered the great "Jibaro (Enrolle)" by Elkin & Nelson and also the joyful "West Side Jet" by Young Gun Silver Fox, which I listened to on an endless repeat loop and, last but not least, the Slo Mo Edit of "Doin it Right" by Mark E. Quark! What a blast this show is!! Once again, thanks to my friends from the Balearic Breakfast Family! Listen back to the 104th episode of Balearic Breakfast: Yesterday morning’s Balearic Breakfast is now up on Worldwide FM and my Mixcloud. This show it was ‘back to normal’ (whatever that means) - 2 hours of live radio playing mainly your requests. Music from Kahil El Zabar, Jiwa Jiwa, Horse Meat Disco Back to Mine comp, SAULT, Young Gun Silver Fox, Jamiroquai, David Morales, Mark E Quark and much more… And don’t forget, my live Balearic Breakfast set from our Love Dancin’ tent at We Out Here is now up on my Mixcloud for your musical enjoyment. Ed. Note: For whatever reason, the audio volume of that episode is very low. There is an online audio compressor you can use on your computer to boost audio levels. It is called Breakaway. Greetings from Berlin. I can still remember the thrill and sense of awe when I watched the Fall of the Berlin Wall in 1989 when I was working as a radio DJ in Japan. We were transfixed as we watched the events unfold on Japanese TV. The world was transforming… THE PLAYLIST (2022) The Kahil El' Zabar Quartet – A Time for Healing (1990) The Cure – The Last Day of Summer (1976) The Enid – In The Region of the Summer Stars (2022) Delly Rollies – Licik (1977) Faze O – Riding High (2022) Margie Lomax – God's Greatest Gift to man is a woman (1983) Rocket – Here Comes my Love (2020) Sault – Son Shine (1990) The Blow Monkeys – La Passionara (1974) Elkin & Nelson – Jibaro (Enrolle) (2022) Young Gun Silver Fox – West Side Jet (2020) Mark E.

Worldwide FM broadcast this new episode of Balearic Breakfast on December 22nd 2020. “Christmas isn't just a day, it's a frame of mind.” I don't remember the snow falling on that cold December day; I remember it being cloudy and somewhat happy (as the Christmas tree had already been set up). The Balearic Breakfast Family eagerly awaited a new edition of its beloved show. Hearing the opening track made me smile, and I felt, as often, instantly at Home. This 17th edition of Balearic Breakfast may be the most laid-back of the series since the show's start in September. Colleen's selection and how she mixes the tracks together give the listener that perfect Christmas vibe: for instance, we get to discover another beautiful song that was to be included in the first Balearic Breakfast compilation, Mike Salta's "Henry's Spacewalk" followed by the somewhat worried "Ullyses" by Dead can dance and then by the dreamy (yet slightly sad) rendition of "California Dreaming" by José Feliciano... You can't miss the Christmas spirit when listening to these songs! And even when the rhythm is getting faster, later in the show, you can picture yourself drinking a lovely Balearic Breakfast tea near a snowy Balearic Christmas tree on a beautiful island. Now, tell me, how Balearic is that ?! Listen to a very relaxed Christmas edition of Balearic Breakfast : PLAYLIST Chilly Gonzales – The Banister Bough Mike Salta & Mortale – Henry's Spacewalk Dead can dance – Ulysses José Feliciano – California Dreaming Seu Jorge & Rogé – Sarava Serginho Meriti – Bons momentos DJ Disse – Walk on the wild side (Ibiza dream mix) Ned Doheny – To prove my love Babe Ruth – Elusive Zebra Crossing – Life after life Lorenzo Morresi & Tendelonious – Cosmica Italiana Lars Bartkuhn – Nomad (full Experience) Trilogy – Love Me Forever or Love me not (Dub of doom mix) Rudoulpho – Sunday Afternoon Walter Hawkins & The Love Center Choir – Goin' Up Yonder Imagination – Changes Kate Bush – 50 words for snow Vangelis – To the Unknown man

Worldwide FM broadcast this new episode of Balearic Breakfast on December 15th 2020. The world was taking a gasp of air on this cold Tuesday as, in almost all cities of the world, restrictive measures had been lifted, allowing people, friends, and families to prepare for Christmas. Yet, no one was really happy, I very vividly remember that feeling of uncertainty lingering in all I was doing. It was a difficult time as we all had news about hospitals trying to cope with the global pandemic with more people dying because of Covid coming in... It is with these memories still present in my mind that I listened to this show, the 16th of the series. From the start, I felt that only a cold, snowy, windy and abandoned beach was an acceptable representation of it... Once again, the Balearic Breakfast's Family magic operated as Colleen mixed the requests... Listen to this snowy episode of Balearic Breakfast here : “With luck, it might even snow for us.” ― Haruki Murakami, After Dark, 2004 As always, Colleen is on top of the game, she even prepared the wonderful wreath you can see on the second picture of the gallery for us! Isn't that great? That beautiful gift sure did warm our cold hearts back then, I can tell you! Also, as Colleen earlier suggested, she kept on playing new music in the course of the show, introducing us here to The Aspphodelis & Friendly Fires' track "Velo" which would end on the first Balearic Breakfast vinyl compilation later in 2021! "Thanks to all of you for your contributions. It has beentruly mind blowing and I have discovered and rediscovered a lot of great music. I'm also taking a fairly open minded approach to what constitutes Balearic Music - almost like a jazz approach - open ended and free. I don't want it to be solely a nostalgia trip so from time to time I will introduce new music that I feel works." Colleen, Instgr., 27/09/2020 Lastly, and on a more positive note, I found that the beautiful track "Pyramid" by The Fantastics ! was very close in spirit to some tracks of the "Blue Pyramid" album by Johnny Hodges and Wild Bill Davis issued in 1965 (another Jazz masterpiece you really should consider listening !). PLAYLIST Joni Mitchell – River Joan Armatrading – Love and affection Bruce Springsteen – I'm on fire (Cousin Cole's Bad Desire Mix) A mountain of one – Bones Electra – Autumn love (future 3) Nicole – New-York Eyes Asha Puthli – Space Talk Flowers – For real Brenda Russell – Hello People The Fantastics ! – Pyramid Donald Byrd – Lansana's Priestess Chaz Jankel – 3.000.000 Synths The Aspphodelis & Friendly Fires – Velo Nitin Sawhney – Homelands / Can't find (The Joe Claussel Remix) The Beloved – It's alright (Back to basics) Disco Knights – Amerika Marvin Gaye – Inner city blues (makes me wanna holler) The show was archived on Worldwide FM : Balearic Breakfast: Colleen 'Cosmo' Murphy // 15-12-20 | WorldwideFM
