  • Balearic Breakfast | Episode 33 | Mixed Freedoms...

    Worldwide FM broadcast the 33rd episode of Balearic Breakfast on April 13th 2021. About this show. – Strange was not even a word back then. It wasn't even a reality we would be in. Lost we were all; this is for sure. Absolutely lost. On April 13th, 2021, " Globally, new COVID-19 cases rose for a seventh consecutive week, with over 4.5 million new cases reported in the last week. The number of new deaths increased for the fourth consecutive week, increasing by 7% compared to last week, with over 76,000 new deaths reported ". Some countries, like the UK , were slowly getting out of lockdown. However, others, such as France, were still experiencing these restrictive measures... " On March 31st 2021, Macron announced a third national lockdown, which commenced on April 3rd 2021 and which was mandated for all of April 2021; measures included the closure of non-essential shops, the suspension of school attendance, a ban on domestic travel and a nationwide curfew from 7 pm-6 am. " So, we were all in very different mindsets when the 32nd episode of Balearic Breakfast started, and, listening back, you can feel the uneasiness in the Music (hence that beautiful picture I chose for this episode)... Listen carefully; you'll hear how uncertain this show is and how much Nothing here easily reveals itself (complex rhythms, complex musical structures, etc.). Though the show opens itself a bit towards the end, it still isn't a direct escape towards the sun (hence the title of this post, which works on several levels, too...), and as far as I was concerned, I wasn't happy back then. Exhausted, I didn't see a way out of this maze. The worst was still to come... Still, like all of us, I enjoyed this episode to the maximum; it brought me a good dose of mental escapism and some Musical strength... All in all, and despite Colleen's joyous and younger voice, this show was somewhat "restrained" and kept uncertainty at its core through its Musical reality... Listen back to the 32nd episode of Balearic Breakfast: PLAYLIST Floating Points – Movement 1 Henri Texier – Amir Tin Pan Alley – Yellow Magic Carnival Santana – Tales of Kilimanjaro Prince – When the Lights Go Down Bob Marley – Exodus (Bill Lazwell Remix) Smoove & Turrell – Never Wanted You More (Smoove Extended Balearic Dub) Stevie Wonder – Master Blaster (Jammin') Ghetto Priest – Hercules (North Street West) ('Holyvoodou' Vocal Mix) Massive Attack – Safe from Harm (Perfecto 12" Mix) Lionel Richie – I wanna Take you down Parliament – Bop Gun (Endangered Species) Funk Inc. – Just Don't Mean A Thing The Main Ingredient – Happiness Is Just Around the Bend STR4TA – Steppers Crusade Phil Saatchi – Wheel of Fortune (Bruce Forest Remix) Tom Tom Club – Wordy Rappinghood Gibson Brothers – Ooh What a Life (Gerd Janson & Shan Edit) The Rolling Stones – Rain Fall Down (Ashley Beedle's 'Heavy Disco' Vocal Re-Edit) DETAILED PLAYLIST I take great care to write things I only truly feel when listening to the shows. I try hard to be as objective as I can. When I wrote, " You'll hear how uncertain this show is and how much Nothing here easily reveals itself ", I truly meant it. This feeling starts from the first song. When you listen to Floating Points – Movement 1 [ 2021-Bandcamp ] , you hear this lingering feeling of someone being lost somewhere, searching for something, an issue, or answers, but Nothing here is clear. To me, this track is an active search, not an escape (read the Guardian's beautiful article just here ). This feeling of research is also conveyed through the second track, Henri Texier – Amir [ 1976-Discogs ] . This impressive and how much modern-sounding track was issued in 1976! Every instrument found on "Amir" has been recorded by Henri, using the "re-recording" technique (to read an interview, click here ). The album was reissued in 2018 on JMS Records. Letting this beautiful moment die peacefully, Colleen takes to a more relaxed track that, as Japanese musical tradition has it, always has that lingering worried touch amidst a more joyful musical moment... This is the very case here with Tin Pan Alley – Yellow Magic Carnival [ 1980-Discogs ] . The Jazz's Quartet band name is a direct reference to the Manhattan neighbourhood block, more about this here . Have you noticed how gentle and soft Colleen's mix has been since the start of this 32nd episode? Here comes another "worried" track, and a very dynamic one!: Santana – Tales of Kilimanjaro [ 1983-Discogs ] . With an impressive lineup of musicians , including Santana's father on violin and vocals, "Havana Moon" is for sure a grand musical piece with a wonderful soundstage and beautiful dynamics, although musically inconsistent according to Rolling Stone's 1983 review. Still... There you have it; when I said, "Nothing here easily reveals itself" , I was thinking about that musical wave, that sun that gets obscured by clouds, that wind that comes from nowhere, the pulsations that, without warning, make the earth tremble in an earthquake before everything comes back to a calmer state... Oh, how well do I write, ha! Here comes, on point, the very relaxed Prince – When the Lights Go Down [ 1999-Discogs ] . I was talking in waves lately, wasn't I? And, just when you thought you'd be in that calm mental state, this track takes you on a groovy journey... What was I waving lately? Oh yeah, with Bob Marley – Exodus (Bill Lazwell Remix) [ 1997-Discogs ] coming down the road... " complex rhythms, complex musical structures, etc. " sorry, saying was the word I wanted to write... Keeping things the uneasy but smooth way (even when she takes the mic, she keeps the musical flow steady...), Colleen chose Smoove & Turrell – Never Wanted You More (Smoove Extended Balearic Dub) [ 2021-Discogs ] gently followed by the epic Stevie Wonder – Master Blaster (Jammin') [ 1980-Discogs ] to keep the fire burning. There is no heavy mixing here; this show might be entitled " The Indirect Fear of Discovering an Uncertain Future " Laughs! I remember how ecstatic we were when hearing that dub version; I was on the moon as I had always loved this song when listening to it in my 20s (the song is a tribute to Bob Marley and delivers a positive message amidst a somewhat worried tonality : "In this song, Stevie Wonder envisions the people of the world coming together in peace, a vision he shared with the reggae superstar Bob Marley. In this world, Zimbabwe is free from war ("Peace has come to Zimbabwe") and Third World countries are lifted from poverty ("Third World's right on the one")" . Interestingly enough, and I just came to think about it but when you think of Bob Marley's song "Jamming" and when you then listen to Stevie Wonder's song, there is a musical continuation here , as the two songs share a common tonality and of course rhythmic structure! This is precisely what makes Balearic Breakfast so important to all of us: we share Music we Love!! Oh, and those dynamics and these effects are in a parallel reality right here! Ending the first hour of the show with Ghetto Priest – Hercules (North Street West) ('Holyvoodou' Vocal Mix) [ 2021-Bandcamp ] , Colleen keeps it uncertain (remember that though the show opens itself up a little bit in the second hour, it still isn't a direct escape towards the sun...) both with Massive Attack – Safe from Harm (Perfecto 12" Mix) [ 1991-Discogs ] and with Lionel Richie – I wanna Take you down [ 1996-Discogs ] ! Though the next track – Parliament – Bop Gun (Endangered Species) [ 1977-Discogs ] – is a funky number, its message fits that 32nd edition very well, enhancing this episode's musical philosophy and this very post's title and analysis a bit more... The "war" feeling felt also enhanced by the following song, Funk Inc. – Just Don't Mean A Thing [ 1973-Discogs ] , and, though the funk spirit did not leave Colleen's fingers, really, The Main Ingredient – Happiness Is Just Around the Bend [ 1974-Discogs ] was just at the crossroads (selected for compilations both by Danny Krivit and Gilles Peterson, listen closely to its duality with that dramatic intro leading ways to a danceable tune)... With STR4TA – Steppers Crusade [ 2021-Bandcamp ] , the flow is still funky as ever, and we, at least, for the absolute very first time here, have an optimistic track. However, as always, a strange wave of uncertainty hits us, and we're lost to the next song, Phil Saatchi – Wheel of Fortune (Bruce Forest Remix) [ 1987-Discogs ] , followed by another strange and not easy to get into, number, Tom Tom Club – Wordy Rappinghood [ 1981-Discogs ] . Listen, how perfect yet light Colleen's mix is here, the absolute Wow effect as far as I'm concerned! As far as this last song is concerned, a great article (that you can read here , using Google translation to get it in English) explains that Tina Weymouth and Chris Frantz (from the talking heads), after leaving the prolific band and its leader's influence, went on to record this rap nursery rhyme while fearing not to be fit to record anything better! Colleen ends the show with two tracks, the first one being Gibson Brothers – Ooh What a Life (Gerd Janson & Shan Edit) [ 2017-Bandcamp ] (do you hear Serge's Gainsbourg "Daisy Temple" in here?) and the second one being The Rolling Stones – Rain Fall Down (Ashley Beedle's 'Heavy Disco' Vocal Re-Edit) [ 2005-Discogs ] ... Have I told you we were experiencing mixed freedoms? ...

  • Balearic Breakfast | Episode 20-18 | Music for Dreams

    Worldwide FM broadcast this new episode of Balearic Breakfast on December 29th 2020. The worst year we all experienced was slowly ending. Yet, for all of us, there was no reason to be happy. In France, as in other parts of the world, curfews would be enforced from December 31st... Staying positive in such circumstances was tough because we didn't know what would happen next. In fact, anything could happen... The media were all already discussing the need to find a vaccine. Still, it could take years before this eventuality happened, so another edition of Balearic Breakfast was an excellent way to keep a somewhat positive attitude towards these trying times... This 18th edition of Balearic Breakfast was somewhat different from the rest of the series as Colleen did not take requests, the first hour thus being a relaxed show keeping the Balearic vibe alive and well. The second hour was dedicated to an interview Colleen did with Kenneth Bager, the founder of the record label Music for Dreams. Don't you love it hearing Colleen conducting an interview? She has such a relaxed way of doing it! PS: If you listen to this show on a great system, though we all know the higher frequency range is lost, you'll still be able to feel some of the songs' light realism (specifically on Tommy Seebach's "Bubble sex" and also on Soulmate's "Peaceful Morning"). This shows you how good is Colleen's audio system! Listen back to episode 20-18 of Balearic Breakfast : PLAYLIST Kenny Loggins – Nightwatch Prélude – Faites vos jeux Shock – San Juan Mick Jager – Lucky in love (Extended François Kevorkian mix) Tommy Seebach – Bubble sex Soulmate – Peaceful Morning Morenas – Hazme Sonar (The ambient remix) Paul Weller – Starlite (Dropout Orchestra Remix) Primal Scream – Loaded (Andy Weatherall Mix) Interview with Kenneth Bager Ambala – Walk with the Dreamers (feat.

  • Balearic Breakfast | Episode 20-14 | Lonely walks...

    Worldwide FM broadcast this new episode of Balearic Breakfast on December 1st 2020. Let's go for a walk on a lonely shore... : December. Wow. After so many months of uncertainty, we were all seeing the end of 2020 approaching. So many people had died from Covid, so many Families suffered from the pandemic, from the restrictions, so many companies had to close, so many old people left lonely, empty streets and boulevards all around the world allowing nature to glow like never before... The world was upside down. Yet we were going to celebrate Christmas in a few days. Wow. Still in lockdown at the time, all we had ahead of us, really, was music, and Balearic Breakfast. This show was our Anchor. And it still is to this very day (February 2023 as I'm writing these lines). Strangely, or maybe not after all..., the Balearic Breakfast Family magic happened again in this December's edition of our beloved show. Listening to this show, can you picture the ocean's pounding waves while your lonely soul walks on the shore during the sunset ? ... I get so god damn lonely and sad and filled with regrets some days. It overwhelms me as I’m sitting on the bus; watching the golden leaves from a window; a sudden burst of realisation in the middle of the night. I can’t help it and I can’t stop it. I’m alone as I’ve always been and sometimes it hurts…. but I’m learning to breathe deep through it and keep walking. I’m learning to make things nice for myself. To comfort my own heart when I wake up sad. To find small bits of friendship in a crowd full of strangers. To find a small moment of joy in a blue sky, in a trip somewhere not so far away, a long walk an early morning in December, or a handwritten letter to an old friend simply saying ”I thought of you. I hope you’re well.” No one will come and save you. No one will come riding on a white horse and take all your worries away. You have to save yourself, little by little, day by day. Build yourself a home. Take care of your body. Find something to work on. Something that makes you excited, something you want to learn. Get yourself some books and learn them by heart. Get to know the author, where he grew up, what books he read himself. Take yourself out for dinner. Dress up for no one but you and simply feel nice. it’s a lovely feeling, to feel pretty. You don’t need anyone to confirm it. I get so god damn lonely and sad and filled with regrets some days, but I’m learning to breathe deep through it and keep walking. I’m learning to make things nice for myself. Slowly building myself a home with things I like. Colors that calm me down, a plan to follow when things get dark, a few people I try to treat right. I don’t sometimes, but it’s my intent to do so. I’m learning.I’m learning to make things nice for myself. I’m learning to save myself. I’m trying, as I always will.

  • Balearic Breakfast | Episode 20-09 | Phil Mison's tribute to José Padilla

    Worldwide FM broadcast this new episode of Balearic Breakfast on October 27th 2020. One day you'll look / To see I've gone / For tomorrow may rain / So I'll follow the sun The Beatles, 1964 With Jose Padilla's passing, and while listening to the show, I couldn't help but see the image of a marching sun, continuously evolving in the sky at high speed (a very trippy yet soulful representation indeed...). During this 9th edition of Balearic Breakfast, Colleen is joined by Phil Mison, renowned DJ and Padilla's long-time friend and gives us the occasion to listen to tracks that you'd not think could have been played in a DJ set (like the beautiful song "Everybody got to learn sometimes" that José liked a lot), enforcing the idea that Balearic Music, before being a genre is, first and foremost, and truly, a way of life...

  • Balearic Breakfast | Episode 20-08 | Waving goodbye to José...

    Worldwide FM broadcast this new episode of Balearic Breakfast on October 20th 2020. A friend once asked me, "Why do you keep saying that sadness lives in you? You can choose to be happy !" I answered *There is no day without night, no light without darkness. I keep my sadness alive, so my Joy stays with me..." This is precisely what this 8th edition of "BalearicBreakfast" is about, finding peace while greaving, smiling while crying, feeling that craziness over you while you try not to surrender to sad thoughts, and saying, "I will get through this, I will rise again". Robert Plants' "I'm in the mood" conveys that message of hope and force, and we go for another ride with the stunning "Fire in my heart". Colleen's selection from the show's start enhances the "rising side" of the Balearic Family's feelings, sharing sadness over José Padilla's passing... You can't help but feel a slight sadness all through the show. It lingers on and is enhanced by the Trying times we were all facing, the cancelled parties and events and also by David's Birthday... But the music kept playing, and we were smiling through the rain with our Beloved Captain... I strongly believe this is one of the shows that enhanced our feelings of "Belonging"... So come on, join us as we rise again, and while listening, read this article...

It’s the freedom to play whatever you want, so long as you play it proficiently. People listen to a track with guitar on it and say ‘this is Balearic’ when it’s not. Balearic is just the spirit of Ibiza. DJ’s used to play here seven or eight hours a night and have the freedom to play anything they wanted, from rock to house.” José Padilla

  • Balearic Breakfast | Episode 20-07 | Wake up everybody...

    Worldwide FM broadcast this new episode of Balearic Breakfast on October 13th 2020. This 7th edition of Balearic Breakfast is Important because of the musical vastness it proposes, Important because of the quality of the mixes (listen to how nicely Colleen mixes Tatsu Yamashita's Hot Shot with Mariya Takeuchi's Plastic Love), Important because of the messages conveyed through the music (in the second part of the show dedicated to "Black History Month" we get to hear crucial tracks like Remember to Remember or Wake up everybody), important because of the joy it brought during very trying times (the Covid pandemic was still going strong and people had to wear masks in public spaces and in transports...), Important because it enlightens Colleen’s effort in putting on a show that had both a musical and intellectual impact. Also, it is one of the very first times that Colleen mentioned the "Balearic Breakfast Family"!

  • Balearic Breakfast | Episode 20-06 | The Balearic Slippers

    Worldwide FM broadcast this new episode of Balearic Breakfast on October 6th 2020. You have to leave the city of your comfort and go into the wilderness of your intuition. What you'll discover will be wonderful. What you'll discover is yourself. Alphonso Joseph D'Abruzzo The one thing that does not change when you're listening to a Balearic Breakfast show is how Fast Time Flies... You're happy, you try to ease yourself into the music, you close your eyes, or you dance and then, of a sudden, you hear your favourite's DJ voice saying, "I'm Colleen 'Cosmo' Murphy with you, ready to sign off..." and then you go like "WHAAAT" Is it ALREADY THE END OF THE SHOW ?! " You then precipitate yourself to write on Colleen's Mixcloud things like "No, this can't be! We need a three hours show !" And believe me; this has happened many times in the show's history! The Balearic Breakfast Family always has a laugh when this happens! This show being shorter by half an hour, the "time slipping away effect" was emphasised and felt more strongly than usual by many of us! Also, what you don't see here is that, during this show, Colleen was wearing some adorable slippers (the show is always aired on Colleen's Mixcloud, so we get the chance to see her when she's cueing records or dancing, or even chatting with us on her laptop, and we get to see the way she's dressed and also the visuals crafted by her husband, Adam). So this time, we all just went Crazy over these slippers :-) This is the "Balearic Breakfast Family Spirit" !

  • Balearic Breakfast | Episode 20-04 | The Dancing Penguins...

    Worldwide FM broadcast this new episode of Balearic Breakfast on September 22nd 2020. "One of my favourite quotes is ‘Music is the space between the notes’, attributed to Claude Debussy and later paraphrased by Miles Davis. The silent spaces leave room for our own imagination." Colleen, Elle Decoration, 19/05/21 The sun was hitting the waves as the Balearic Breakfast Familly approached the shore. Suddenly, someone shouted: “Look, Guys! The Penguins are having a ball !” Someone joyfully answered: “They sure do love some Balearic Breakfast music !” The loud laughter went up to the sky and slowly vanished as a light breeze came by... So, yeah, Dancing Penguins, people! Once again, the image of this 4th edition came instantly as the first songs entered my Soul – I must admit I’ve been influenced by the opening track! Still, can you feel the Syncopated Rhythm all the songs have in common? Can you picture the somewhat clumsy yet beautiful Penguins dancing on their tiny feet on “Why can’t I be you” or on “Eminence Front”? I do believe this image fits this fourth edition well. We’re having a musical party for sure! As always, Colleen is on point, and soundwise, you can hear the realism of the music on a lot of the tracks; that's so nice! I remember also that this 4th edition of Balearic Breakfast was very special to me as it was the first time I dared make a request! You always wonder if your request will make the final cut, so you try hard to choose songs that fit the spirit of the show – see Colleen's answer on her socials to yimhoyt asking "What does Balearic mean?" : It's a bit like jazz and is limitless in terms of structure and melody - it's more about an expansive feeling Listen to episode 20-04 of Balearic Breakfast here : PLAYLIST Penguin Café Orchestra – Air a Danser Chip Wickham – Double Cross Delegation – Oh Honey Isaac Hayes – Never Can Say Goodbye Lee Oskar – Haunted House Robin Trower – Somebody Calling Donny Hathaway – The Ghetto Elkin & Nelson – Jibaro Quiet Force – Listen to the Music The Who – Eminence Front Raw Silk – Just in Time and Space Dub Marcel – On The Beach Sueno Latino – Sueno Latino’ (Paradise Mix) Depeche Mode – Enjoy the Silence (Timo Maas Mix) The Cure – Why Can’t I Be You (Extended Mix) Grace Jones – La Vie En Rose The show is archived on worldwidefm : Balearic Breakfast with Colleen 'Cosmo' Murphy // 22-09-20 | WorldwideFM

  • Balearic Breakfast | Episode 20-03 | Caught in the Undertow...

    Worldwide FM broadcast this new episode of Balearic Breakfast on September 15th 2020. „The sea is everything. It covers seven tenths of the terrestrial globe. Its breath is pure and healthy. It is an immense desert, where man is never lonely, for he feels life stirring on all sides. The sea is only the embodiment of a supernatural and wonderful existence. It is nothing but love and emotion.“ Jules Verne, Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea, 1870 Do I need to write a lot to explain the title I gave this episode? I don't think so. Just listen to the show, the music, Colleen’s anecdotes... It’s self-explanatory. Well, if you need some guidance, here we go... From the show's start, we feel something massive carrying us away. There is that vibration, that deep pulse, that inner Drive... Yes, we’re caught in an undertow (I do think about Kim Carnes right now ;-))... And, as the songs go by, we keep them in our minds because of the close rhythmic (and Intellectual...) structure they all share (Colleen’s mix also emphasises this). The title chosen for this third edition of Balearic Breakfast also reveals what life is and how our experiences influence our existence... Once again, this show demonstrates the Unity that the Balearic Breakfast Family forms with Colleen (Look at the blog’s Logo and you’ll understand...) Are you ready for a deep swim? Let’s go!
