Colleen debuted on the 'My Analog Journal' show on February 15th 2023. Founded by Zag Erlat (Turkish DJ and music Producer who seriously started collecting vinyl in 2017), My Analog Journal (first only a youtube channel show and now a radio one since the launching of the Twitch channel) allows vinyl lovers alike to share their passion for Music on an audiophile setup. In an interview with Nuvo Magazine, Zag explained why he launched the youtube channel: "As a Turkish person, I just felt the lack of content when it comes to Turkish/Anatolian funk music from the '70s. That made me record a vinyl set with Turkish seven-inch records that I had. I shot the episode with a single camera focusing on the turntables, as opposed to the boiler room setup where you only see the DJ". It didn't take long before people got interested in what Zag was sharing, allowing him to propose something even greater involving other music lovers digging into the "old forgotten foreign music" formula. As Zag states: "the joy of coming together for good music is just priceless". Colleen appeared on My Analog Journal on February 15th, 2023, with a selection of records celebrating The Loft's 52 anniversary (the episode was shot earlier in 2023) and stated on her socials, "I was recently asked to play some records by the lovely folks over at @myanalogjournal and you can watch and listen to it now on their YouTube channel. I always like a good remit and as the set is vinyl only and published this week, I did exactly what you thought I may do - celebrate The Loft anniversary. This mix features songs that were played at The Loft by David and/or myself (including a cheeky acetate of one of my remixes), played on pitch and without mixing in Loft style. You may notice the overhead shots are giving new meaning to 'Going Back to My Roots'. What can I say - it was filmed right after I had a long bout of illness and didn't have a chance to get to the hair salon. Now I'm getting to work on the 2-hour interview with David, and if you want to be one of the first to hear it, please sign up to the mailing list on the forthcoming official Loft website at www.loftsavestheday.com Enjoy and love saves the day!" It seems obvious why I decided to include this set in this blog: the Music and the visuals bring us back to the Balearic Spirit Colleen presents every Tuesday morning (some of the tracks were also featured in the show)!

Worldwide FM broadcast the 111st episode of Balearic Breakfast on October 25th 2022. About this show. – With the news that WWFM had to stop its activities (more about this in this post here ), Colleen decided to pause Cosmodelica (the last show of the series was aired on October 21st, 2022 ). On her socials, she shared her thoughts with us: "Today the last Cosmodelica radio show will air on Worldwide FM from 4 to 6pm BST. I hope you will join me. I started this radio show many years ago (15?) to share some of my favourite dance music from psychedelic soul, deep house, jazz-funk, underground disco and post-disco, deep techno, loft classics and whatever else tickles my fancy and it has lived on platforms like Samurai FM, Deep Frequency, Ministry of Sound and finally on Worldwide FM. It has been a joy to host and I thank all of the radio stations and their staff for the opportunities. I also want to express my deepest gratitude to my faithful listeners. Sharing music with you each and every month has been an honour. For the time being I am pausing Cosmodelica as a radio show but will still hold Cosmodelica parties (for those in the NYC area join us at Good Room on the 28th October!) and will continue my Cosmodelica productions - the latest of which airs on today’s show. Balearic Breakfast has one more radio show on Worldwide FM this coming Tuesday, the 25th October. After that I’m taking what I feel to be a well-deserved week off ;) and then I will resume Balearic Breakfast on my Mixcloud Live and Twitch TV every Tuesday from 10am to 12 noon starting on the 8th November and it will be archived on my Mixcloud. All links including the new Balearic Breakfast Family server on Discord are in the linktree. Thank you for your support Cosmonauts. What a beautiful trip it has been. 🎶❤️🌈" Thankfully, our clever and always alert Musical Captain had alternatives at hand for Balearic Breakfast: she would use her Mixcloud and Twitch TV accounts to stream the show (even creating a Discord community server, which is still running as of 2023)! So we knew it was the last show on WWFM, but we also knew there was no way for us to stop an adventure that meant so much to all of us! This 111th episode has a worried and reflective side to it and is somewhat musically questioning the future; right until the very end, as you'll hear. Though it never fully embraces Happiness, it does try, with all of its might, to keep a positive attitude until, ultimately, it beautifully crashes in a retained tear... With its somewhat cloudy musical sky, this show will not kill your mood, but it will bring some clouds into your inner sky... Listen back to the 111th edition of Balearic Breakfast: "Join me tomorrow from 10 am to 12 noon BST for the last Balearic Breakfast on Worldwide FM (at least for now - who knows where the future will take us). This year marks my 40th year in broadcasting and this show has been one of the most significant in my entire run of radio programmes for several reasons. It was born out of the pandemic at a time when many of us were isolating in our own homes and the show acted as a portal through which we could temporarily put our worries on hold and escape through music. Balearic Breakfast was like a two-hour sonic musical holiday. The musical conversations we have shared have been enlightening and profound and I thank everyone who has contributed in any way. The sense of community is the most important aspect of Balearic Breakfast, especially at a time when so many of us felt alone. Seeing everyone joining in the online chats and video streams on Mixcloud Live and Twitch TV has been life-affirming. Thank you for your support and involvement. We will keep the family together and Balearic Breakfast will continue starting the 8th November when I will continue to stream Tuesday mornings on my Mixcloud and of course, the Request Line will go up just a few days before. Don’t forget there is also a Balearic Breakfast Discord Community server and all links can be found in my link tree. Thank you to Worldwide FM and thank you to the Balearic Breakfast family."

(Da Lata House Mix) Roisin Murphy – Murphy's Law (Cosmodelica Remix) D-Train – Keep on Pat Metheny Group – Are you going with me? DETAILED PLAYLIST This 111th episode of Balearic Breakfast starts with a very pictural track, Scott Grooves – Lunar 627 (The New Moon) [ 2022 - Bandcamp ] , evoking time's eternal balancing dance, beautifully followed by Mental Remedy – Omamiuda [ 2012 - Discogs ] . Though the next song brings a little bit of joy, Rita Marley – One Draw (12" Disco Mix) [ 1981 - Discogs ] , as I explained at the beginning of this post, it won't last long, as the next tracks will prove it. The sky is growing darker with Sefi Zisling – The Sky Sings (Obas Nenor's Extended dub) [ 2022 - Discogs ] , and it doesn't show any signs of change as House of House – The Rough Half (Don't Stop) [ 2009 - Discogs ] plays on. There is uncertainty here, in the first part of the show, a lot of it, and Colleen doesn't try to play a game that won't do; instead, she seems to accept the sad and present times by playing the uneasy Keysha – Stop it! [ 2018 - Discogs ] . The second part of the show starts with A Mountain of One – Star [ 2022 - Discogs ] ; if the lyrics seem more positive, the melody keeps a weary soul, there, lost, somewhere. Even William Pitt – City Lights [ 1986 - Discogs ] has a tough time bringing the sun back; we're drawn into the more positive music, just to be pulled back by the lyrics. This show is just like two magnets pushing each other away... We try to ease the pain, but, somehow, we alway find its trace somewhere, there where we didn't see it in the first place. Strange, isn't it? With its menacing and bouncing notes, its wide soundstage, and its underlined tension, My Mine – Hypnotic Tango [ 1985 - Discogs ] does not allow us to breathe peacefully, though the chorus is lighter. The sky keeps on showing its tumultuous colours as the show develops its mixed stories of love, lost and hope in its third part with Roi Azulay – Reflections (Ron Trent Remix) [ 2022 - Discogs ] . Da Lata – N.Y.J. (Da Lata House Mix) [ 2014 - Bandcamp ] keeps the uncertainty alive, and even if the next two tracks seem to bring some positivity out of the maze when you really look into it, nothing is absolutely easy here. We're talking about destiny with Roisin Murphy – Murphy's Law (Cosmodelica Remix) [ 2020 - Discogs ] and what it takes to overcome it, this main idea being expanded by D-Train – Keep on [ 1982 - Discogs ] , who tells us that we must keep on walking in order to reach the top... If something positive exists in this show, I can tell you right out of the bat that it's not Something that has been generously given to us but rather Something that we all Went after with all of our guts melted in one silent cry... Pat Metheny Group – Are you going with me? [ 1982 - Discogs ] Oh, sorry... I wrote that last sentence so perfectly... Now, please, in a hug, accept our tears... We all just needed them while answering a silent but absolutely loud Yes to Colleen's question... Are you going with us? The show has been archived on the WorldWide FM website: https://worldwidefm.net/episode/balearic-breakfast-colleen-cosmo-murphy-77

Worldwide FM broadcast the 109th episode of Balearic Breakfast on October 11th 2022. About this show. – With worldwide FM reducing its activities (more about this here ), we were all very sad. But our Captain did all that could be done to cheer us up by creating a Discord group and by making sure our Beloved show would not stop its Balearic Musical waves... As you'll hear, this episode has a very dreamy aspect to it, one of the strongest I ever heard; it transmits very well both in the music itself and in the lyrics! We're going to dream deep in the analysis below, and, as always, I swear I am not forcing anything here... 🌞 PLAYLIST Leftfield – Melt Aldous Harding – The Barrel David Bowie – Right Todd Rundgren – Lost Horizon The Cure – Lullaby (Extended Mix) Backbeat Convention – Love & Happiness (DJ Pippi & Willie Graff) Peter Brown – Do You Wanna Get Funky With Me Material – Bustin' Out (Rub n Tug edit) I C Bell – Explosion Ann Margret – Everybody Needs Somebody Sometimes Metropolis – I Love New York (The Reflex Revision) Alex Kassian – Spirit of Eden Marxist Love Disco Ensemble – Brumaire Was Not Was – Tell Me That I’m Dreaming Urban Soul – What Do I Gotta Do (Eric Kupper Club Mix) Jon Cutler & DJ Romain – The Ride Imagination – Changes (Larry Levan Remix) DETAILED PLAYLIST This episode has a very dreamy touch to it. We can clearly feel it thanks to the rhythm of the music; the distance the two first songs give to our mental experience is a nice example of that: Leftfield –  Melt [ 1995-Discogs ] / Aldous Harding – The Barrel [ 2019-Discogs ] . The Spatial ambient track , Melt, sets this episode's tone and is directly enhanced by Aldous Harding's song, which deals with the recognition of misleading dreams /beliefs ... As I said, it's a homogeneous feeling, so it's clear the lyrics of the songs match that feeling of freedom! That's also the case with the next song, David Bowie – Right [ 1975-Discogs ] , which really encourages you to pursue your dreams (the "positive drone"). Interestingly enough, this is exactly what hapenned to David when he was working on this song : " When you have musicians who can give you what you want, your mind goes crazy. David had ideas that he might have had but not been able to use, but now he had the people who could help him do that. Luther took care of all the background arrangements. ‘Right’ was different – it had all these call and responses. David created a ‘dot’ system, with dots that were more numerical than anything else – ‘When you get to number 8, sing this; when you get to 13, sing this.’ You jumped in and out on the dots. It was brutal. We’re talking about ‘Sing in 2 and 3, jump out in 4, back in in 5 and 6…’ It was like a total clusterfuck, but they nailed it every time. You can understand why he was so excited about the outcome of this album. That was the calibre of the musicians, and what he would be getting when he recorded in Philadelphia. " Sure, it seems we are in a kind of hate/love affair here, but hey, at least we're all about Dreams, aren't we? The nice musical and intellectual unity keeps on developing its themes with the next song, oh so gently presented to us by Colleen. Todd Rundgren – Lost Horizon [ 1985-Discogs ] also has that dreamy touch while sharing the same solidity that the previous track did (it seems the song is about Rundgren's lost dream of singing with Marvin Gaye, once again our love/hate story...)! Of course, the dreamy approach is expanded with The Cure – Lullaby (Extended Mix) [ 1989-Discogs ] , perferctly mixed into the previous track's ending... The more I listen to Balearic Breakfast, the more I see how much Colleen's knowledge of the songs is essential to the show, and this knowledge simply flows; it seems she's able to reach this kind of musical unicity so effortlessly... I'm just Wowed now, just more than before, slightly more... if it's even possible, laughs! For the next three tracks Backbeat Convention – Love & Happiness (DJ Pippi & Willie Graff) [ 2022-Traxsource ] / Peter Brown – Do You Wanna Get Funky With Me [ 1978-Discogs ] (taken from the 1977 debut album "A Fantasy Love Affair" on which, in fact, the lady from behind the curtains never really existed but in our desires 😉) / Material – Bustin' Out (Rub n Tug edit) [ 2021-Bandcamp ] , Colleen is going to expand the dream effect: listen to her light mix and to the musical unity (same tonality, close sonic colours, close rhythm, etc.) and simply let yourself fly in the Milky Way! We're here musically living the dream! Fun fact time: the singer on "Bustin' Out" is none other than the great Nona Hendryx , known for her work as one-third of the trio Labelle! For the second part of the show, we will keep the dreamy aspect intact. Starting with I.C. Bell – Explosion [ 1980-Discogs ] , we're still up there; listen to the light echo in the voices; the funkiness of the track really should set your mind free! The beat is good; the beat is strong, as Ann Margret – Everybody Needs Somebody Sometimes [ 1981-Discogs ] , and her voice, somehow disconnected from the mix, which doesn't touch the ground with its large soundstage, helps the listener to keep a distanced approach to the whole musical experience! We're really flying across the stars with the next number, Colleen's mix here being rock solid. Still, we're not touching earth anytime soon as Metropolis – I Love New York (The Reflex Revision) [ 2021-Discogs ] , with its personal vintage sonic flavours, keeps the dreaming intact! This is something I feel lacking today in musical productions: a "strange" or at least "inhabited" frequency response. When you listen to records from each era, they all had their "sonic signature", and it enhanced the songs; nowadays, it seems this 'sonic' touch has disappeared. Of course, we have effects in the songs produced, but I wish more tracks had a non-linear frequency response or at least something that makes them pop out, giving them their own soul. That's why I love Michael Jackson's "Invincible" album because it has its own unique Sound, its own sonic signature... Alex Kassian – Spirit of Eden [ 2021-Bandcamp ] is another great example of the sonic unity this show has. Followed by Marxist Love Disco Ensemble – Brumaire [ 2022-Discogs ] and Was Not Was – Tell Me That I’m Dreaming [ 1981-Discogs ] , I think I don't need to repeat myself here, do I? The next two songs add a more "house" aspect to our celestial wanderings, with the great Urban Soul – What Do I Gotta Do (Eric Kupper Club Mix) [ 1997-Discogs ] and the trippy Jon Cutler & DJ Romain – The Ride [ 2008-Discogs ] . Ending the show with Imagination – Changes ( Larry Levan Remix) [ 1983-Discogs ] , I can't help but see the Lioncub floating in the Milky Way, close to Colleen, of course..., asking: "Where's the next stop, Cosmo? Do you know? – Well, we'll see dear Lioncub; for the time being, enjoy the view! – Oh well, I'm enjoying it, but aren't we a bit High now?! – We're not being High enough, dear one; we really should be more Balearic... – Oh My..."
