- Balearic Breakfast | Episode 26-09 | At Peace With Women... (International Women’s Day 4h)
Colleen 'Cosmo' Murphy broadcast this new episode of Balearic Breakfast on her Mixcloud on March 10th, 2026. ABOUT THIS EPISODE Two weeks ago, Colleen published the Request line for the 2026 International Women's Day Special Marathon show. As ever, the Family gathered together and requested songs by Women, and some of them were really poignant ones. Speaking about this, when listening to this episode, you'll feel a warmth, and a certain kind of reassuring tenderness we did not have in the previous episodes celebrating Women (for instance, a song like Eva Cassidy's "Time is a healer" lets you feel what I'm talking about here°... Of course, Colleen always takes the time to let music enter your soul slowly, not rushing anything, but today, that feeling felt even stronger in the first two hours of the show, and even when the music got stronger, you felt that female embrace, that feeling that whatever happened you were not all alone in your shoes... Of course, the show spanned decades of music and incorporated artists that few may remember, like the great Celi Bee (if you do not know her, I urge you to listen to her 1978 "Fly me on the wings of love" album, which is absolutely splendid! Finally, on the chat, the Family was happy as ever, and we even celebrated our dear Friend's Birthday (Kay, you're the one I'm thinking about right now ^^), even having people listening live for the first time ever, like Kong718 who wrote "This is my first time catching Cosmo ib the "radio" since the loft NYC to move to Europe. I used to bring her flowers to the studio at NYU. After 30 years, it's still a pleasure to hear her voice 'over the air'. Life is coming full circle." Other friends only listen to Colleen when she does longer shows... laughs! Just like ND Stardust, who wrote "Is this the women's day show? I just realized this is the only live I've made every year because it's longer and I get to tune in from the states"! Well, I'm sure you can feel the dedication here! Listen back to episode 26-09 of Balearic Breakfast: Today’s Balearic Breakfast International Women’s Day 4 hour marathon is now up on my Mixcloud. Its the fifth annual IWD celebration and thanks to all who contributed songs by women musicians from a wide spectrum of age, ethnicity and musical genre.

- Balearic Breakfast | Episode 26-10 | 七転び八起き
Colleen 'Cosmo' Murphy broadcast this new episode of Balearic Breakfast on her Mixcloud on March 17th, 2026. ABOUT THIS EPISODE You never really know what's going to happen during Balearic Breakfast, and even the blog has its own little surprises! While I was listening to the show, I asked Colleen if she could share with me a picture she published on her stories, and, voilà, here you are with two exclusive pictures! This episode, as positively as it ends, has a very interesting start as the first songs, and also a few of the other ones played later by our dear Captain, seem to share an idea of growth, of evolution, love being the main message as always... hence the title of today's post... Beyond Pain... Pain is a Teacher. It is the best and the hardest Teacher you will ever have. As hard as it hits, and the More it hits, you must remember it shows you things you have to change in your life. Pain allows you to grow in ways no other feeling can. Through your tears, you’ll understand your mistakes and also the harshness and the stupidity of this world of ours and of a lot of the people living in it. Of course, you have the right to protect yourself in the future, but do not lose, try not to lose the best of you, even if you know it’s somehow useless, vain, as you’ll never change Life’s Bitterness… Through your pain, try to see your next tomorrow, try to visualise your next sunshine, and, somehow, never forget who you were before the rain set in… Be Stronger, be more protective of your goldmine but, at the very same time, try, try with all of your might, through the unnecessary pain that has been inflicted to you, to stay grateful without showing forgiveness… Change is part of life, and only by acknowledging its painful power will you be able to become the adult you were always meant to be… Listen back to episode 26-10 of Balearic Breakfast: This morning’s Balearic Breakfast is now up on my Mixcloud and features some of the records I picked up in Japan earlier this year – Japanese ambient, jazz, house and more. And the show also features the exclusive premier of ‘Language is Love’ by Ground – a project by Joe Goddard, MC Dynamite, Esa Williams, Chisara Agor and Dan Willis. They were so kind to make me my very own special dub plate (I just love the smell of acetate in the morning). This Friday I’m heading to Chelmsford to spin with my old friend Jimpster at Canteen and on Tuesday, 31st March I’m playing and discussing some of my favourite Japanese records in a Classic Album Sundays event with filmmaker Nick Dwyer at Space Talk in London (its free and starts at 7pm). The event is in honour of the London premier of Dwyer’s ‘A Century In Sound’ film series which tells the stories behind the 100 year culture of Japan’s listening cafes – often referred to as jazz kissa. We’ll discuss my own history with Japanese culture and music, and how Classic Album Sundays helped establish the listening bar ethos in the UK. Its free so come on down. I’ll be back with Balearic Breakfast next Tuesday and wishing you a Happy St Patrick’s Day and a lovely week. Thanks for listening. THE PLAYLIST (1991) Shinsuke Honda – Zanshou (1983) Om – Solar Wind (1976) Ryo Kawasaki – On the Dot (1976) Kimiko Kasai – This Masquerade (2025) Yukino Inamine & Akio Nagase – Tsuki Nu Kaisha (2025) Chito Kawachi – Heaven's Breath (2026) Antonio Ocasio ft Ed Ramsey – A Lover's Dream (2024) Reuben Vaun Smith – Lost in Space (2014) Temu – Robots (1980) Sunshine – If This is Free (I Don't Wanna Be) (xx) Ground – Language is Love (2026) Esa Williams ft Nonku Phiri – Nakupenda (2003) Jazzanova ft.

And actually, I also want to mention an event on the 31st of March, this March, in which I'm featuring some of my favorite Japanese records and a classic album Sunday's event with filmmaker Nick Dwyer. The London premiere of his A Century in Sound film series tells the stories behind the 100-year culture of Japan's listening cafes, often referred to as jazz kisas. And it's screening at the Barbican this weekend, but that's sold out. But the following weekend, A Century in Sound is screening at the Rio in Dalston, the Rio Cinema. I think it's on the 29th. Yeah, it's an amazing series. And I'm honored that Classic Album Sundays is actually featured in it. Nick has done an amazing job with it. And the films are gorgeous. The stories about all these great listening bars dotted around Tokyo and around Japan are just so beautiful. And yeah, the screening should be fantastic. And he's also hosting a lot of events. On Tuesday, the 31st of March, I'll be joining Nick at Space Talk, a listening bar near the Barbican on St. John Street. It's a free event, but get there before the start time at 7pm so you can get a seat. And Nick and I will talk about my experiences in Japan. And I'll play some of my favorite records by Japanese musicians, starting from the 1980s and my stint in Japan as a radio DJ in 1989. And all the collecting I've done over the three decades I've been touring in Japan as a DJ as well.

Colleen 'Cosmo' Murphy broadcast this new episode of Balearic Breakfast on her Mixcloud on March 24th, 2026. ABOUT THIS EPISODE Colleen's ability to convey a rhythmical and positive message absolutely shines here. From the start, and quite quickly, we feel a marching force in the music and in the songs.

- Balearic Breakfast | Episode 26-13 | Breaking the Chains...
Colleen 'Cosmo' Murphy broadcast this new episode of Balearic Breakfast on her Mixcloud on April 07th, 2026. ABOUT THIS EPISODE As an active listener of my favourite show ever, there is always something to discover musically speaking, and that's tremendously rewarding to experience! From the start, I felt this show would share some feelings, some thoughts, some intellectual inspirations regarding an "evolution". Today's musical lineup is all about finding Freedom and breaking the chains that keep you away from your liberty. Listen to these songs for instance: "Es Vedrà", "Lift your face to the sun", "Ain't it Time", "One Chain (Don't make no Prison". The message is plain to hear! Also, take care how the show is built, its intensity (rising from the very start with that incredible musical presentation of the Balearic Island that is 'Es Vedrà", how the intensity keeps on evolving and how, in the last half hour of the show, the solid rhythm takes you back to your roots with a musical journey that could be one played at the Loft... Yes, everything in this episode is about breaking those chains...

- Balearic Breakfast | Episode 26-14 | Through the Ending Storm...
Colleen 'Cosmo' Murphy broadcast this new episode of Balearic Breakfast on her Mixcloud on April 14th, 2026. ABOUT THIS EPISODE This show has, as always, a strong "imagery", if I can put it that way. To me, it pictures the end of a storm and the moments that follow these troubled times. There is a lingering tension in the opening track, and the first part of the show really breathes out something deep, somehow tense, with a sense of relief at some point. Definitely worth a listen and your own interpretation, but this show really encapsulates Colleen's emotions, it seems! Listen back to episode 26-14 of Balearic Breakfast: This morning’s Balearic Breakfast is now up on my Mixcloud for your listening pleasure. Community, musical sharing and transcendental music helps my own mental health within a world that seems to be going absolutely mad. Thanks to those that join me on my Mixcloud Live every Tuesday morning so that we can shelter ourselves from the storm for a couple of hours (of course we are the lucky, privileged ones as millions around the globe truly suffer). I hope today’s show will give you a bit of respite and thanks for listening.

- Balearic Breakfast | Episode 26-15 | Freedom Layers...
Colleen 'Cosmo' Murphy broadcast this new episode of Balearic Breakfast on her Mixcloud on April 21st, 2026. ABOUT THIS EPISODE Through the pouring rain, through the thickness of the darkest of fogs, through despair, sadness and an unbearable Loneliness, tell me, in the lies this crazy world confesses, will you be able to somehow find yourself again and lend yourself a hand almost no one ever handled to you? While crying your soul out, while yelling from that excruciating pain, will you be able to get out stronger than before and see things clearly now? Do not trust them; do not wait for anyone but yourself; no one’s love will save your inner child’s loneliness if you don’t believe it can be somehow healed in your own hands. You are your only answer, and your own guardian angel. Now, son, stand up, slowly, and Walk… Walk as a Man… I think you clearly see on which path we're all walking now... In a world eaten by chaos, our only way is Freedom... As hard as it can be, we can only choose ourselves and the values we feel are important to protect. We can not rely on anyone else, but we can decide to share; and we can decide to see the truth behind behaviours, postures and really feel why somehow, people lie and if it is a lie, a manipulation, and how it affects us, and how we can incorporate all of that to our own psychological scheme, and how to make this all work in our own reality, our own behaviour... There's that quote I need to share in the light of today's show: "Let me tell you something you already know. The world ain't all sunshine and rainbows. It's a very mean and nasty place and I don't care how tough you are it will beat you to your knees and keep you there permanently if you let it. You, me, or nobody is gonna hit as hard as life. But it ain't about how hard ya hit. It's about how hard you can get hit and keep moving forward. How much you can take and keep moving forward. That's how winning is done!". Are you somewhere on a path you've never seen before? If that's the case, and if you're unsure, today's show will give you a few hints... From Pavane for a Dead Princess to The Shadowy Light, every song, every moment of music lets the listener reflect on how Freedom presents itself to him as he walks through painful times. Every song presents what Freedom is, how we interact with it, how we restrain it and how we fight to find it and to keep it in our lives. Of course, the second part of the show keeps that theme alive and well (Introverted Funk's Tell U) with that "grand opening" right at the end (Rodriguez Jr's What Is Real). Colleen's mixing is always precise, and it also lets you experience silence as a reminder that nothing that happens in life is important; the only thing keeping you from falling being the trust you keep on your path to freedom...

ABOUT THIS EPISODE In today's episode, we're going to travel to some unknown musical countries... Both Love Injection's and Daisybelle's mixes allow the listeners to discover songs they've never heard before, and we must say it out loud: the music is absolutely brilliant! (Ed. Note - 11/06/2026: Paul and Barbie recently announced the issue of their new compilation on their Instagram and you can presave it right here). Listen back to episode 26-17 of Balearic Breakfast: This morning’s Balearic Breakfast is now up on my Mixcloud and features two special interviews and guest mixes. First up is @barbiebertisch and @paulraffaele of @loveinjection.nyc - two dear friends who have championed New York and American underground dance music from the past to the present via their fanzine, radio show and record label - and they are both fierce DJs too. We always have a great time at our annual Cosmodelica x Love Injection parties at Good Room and when they played in our Love Dancin’ tent in 2023 (shhh - they’re coming back). Up next is Daisybelle , the Puerto Rican-born London dwelling DJ and producer. She has been making some incredible tunes - one of my favourites was ‘Into the Night’ and she has more music on the way. Daisybelle also joined me last year for a Balearic Breakfast party at NT’s Loft (pictured with my other guest Virginia Tzioti). She put together a great mix for us and even sneaked on Laura Branigan! Thanks to all who joined on the chat this morning and sorry to have not joined in. I’m still in NYC and the 5am call just wasn’t working for me today . I’ll be back live in the record room this coming Tuesday catching up on requests and new tunage. Until then, enjoy the show and thanks for listening.

- Balearic Breakfast | Episode 26-18 | Electro Wanderings...
Colleen 'Cosmo' Murphy broadcast this new episode of Balearic Breakfast on her Mixcloud on May 12th, 2026. ABOUT THIS EPISODE Colleen came back home, at last! After travelling to Ibiza and spending some time in the United States (where she visited her mum), our dear Captain presented a new episode of Balearic Breakfast and, this time around, she was all about Electronic Music! I did not hesitate while choosing today's post title, that's for sure!

- Balearic Breakfast | Episode 26-19 | A Chance for Hope...
Colleen 'Cosmo' Murphy broadcast this new episode of Balearic Breakfast on her Mixcloud on May 19th, 2026. ABOUT THIS EPISODE After returning from Ibiza, Colleen presented a new and very eclectic episode of our beloved show. This episode is such a special one... It starts with a grand opening, then moves to a Balearic side, starting slowly, before ending in a triumphal "house section" with a beautiful mini mix that the Balearic Breakfast family always approves of, with dancing feets (laughs)! A special note, if you have never heard it, I urge you to listen to Ola Onabule's version of Robert Palmer's 'Every Kind Of People'. It is a true gem to know and to own on vinyl! Listen back to episode 26-19 of Balearic Breakfast: This week’s Balearic Breakfast is now up on my Mixcloud and its another eclectic mix of new tunes and requests. I’m happy to report that some of the requests are in response to right winger bigotry recognising discrimination, calling for unity and hoping for better times. People make the world go round and it takes every kind of people. There’s also new music from Fred Everything, Atjazz, MDA Grooves, Moodyman, MUSIC FOR DREAMS, Dames Brown, Mudd, DJ Disse and soul, house and Balearic classics – a bit of something for most everyone. Thanks to all who joined me on the chat and next week we have Puerto Montt City Orchestra and Islandman up on the show for interviews and exclusive mixes. Until then, have a great week and thanks for listening.
