  • Balearic Breakfast | Episode 26-42 | On The Edge...

    Colleen 'Cosmo' Murphy broadcast this new episode of Balearic Breakfast on her Mixcloud on November 03rd, 2026. ABOUT THIS EPISODE I love it when the first songs our beloved captain plays show me a path, intellectual ideas I can gather into a narrative I can explain and defend. Today, I quickly felt that, because of the world's situation (wars, political unrest, demonstrations, etc.), we were all standing on the edge, as if something were about to happen... The first selected requests Colleen played have that sense of "losing it to the unknown"... Although they're calm (and somehow reflective) numbers, they hold that "What is happening" feeling; they do hold that lingering question, that uncertainty... We're on the edge, standing there, unsure about what to do, unsure about how to behave, looking out there, searching for a future we somehow dislike, fearing its cold grip could destroy us and the love we try to keep there, inside, somewhere... Of course, the songs selected by the Family perfectly represent our feelings towards what is presently happening in America, but my Wow moment was definitely Jonathan Wilson's Trafalgar Square. To me, the lyrics are quite positive, showing that we can always do something positive while navigating through life... Here is another article about his album, and should you want to watch the video clip, it's just here. On the chat, the Family members spoke about the latest books they read, and there were some nice recommendations! Of course, Patti Smith's memoir 'Just Kids' was mentioned, Colleen saying it is an amazing read. Also, our friend Builderguy recommended Roland Orzabal's memoir, saying, "Written and read by him, he also delicately weaves astrology throughout his life story. Just my perfect marriage, I didn't want it to end". Today's episode is marked by the tribute Colleen paid to the late (and absolutely great) Juan Atkins. We all deeply enjoyed the musical tribute our captain did! Listen back to episode 26-42 of Balearic Breakfast: This morning’s Balearic Breakfast is now up on my Mixcloud and thanks to everyone who contributed song suggestions. This time of year has an aura of reflection and many of you chose introspective pieces that ease us into the program. There’s also some great reworks by Follow The Sun, Psychemagik and Pete Blaker, some tunes that reflect the anxiety many of us feel about today’s American midterm elections (C’mon America!) some Latin and percussive house groovers and of course a couple of songs in tribute to the late Juan Atkins - a true musical pioneer and legend in the truest sense. You can catch up on all Balearic Breakfasts on my Mixcloud (please give me a follow while you’re over there) and I’ll be back next Tuesday from 10am to 12pm on my Mixcloud Live with more of your requests and some new tunes.

  • Balearic Breakfast | Episode 26-41 | Balearic Nuggets (Meeting Sally Rogers)

    Colleen 'Cosmo' Murphy broadcast this new episode of Balearic Breakfast on her Mixcloud on October 27th, 2026. ABOUT THIS EPISODE This has been another tremendously busy year for our captain. After playing at the Golden Lion alongside Sarah Bates and Sorcha & Mike, in tribute to the late Danielle Moore, she took us on a new musical trip. This episode is another great example of how Colleen conducts her show: by playing songs that belong to each other while keeping an open mind, drifting easily from one genre to another (the "Wow moment" of today's episode being Aura Safari's "Spaced Out", what a banger!). Of course, Sally's mix enhances Colleen's work on this episode, unified eclectism at its best! Should you want to discover more about A man called Adam, head over here to read a great interview Sally gave a few years back. By the way, did you know that the great Lalo Schifrin was commissioned by William Friedkin to compose The Exorcist's soundtrack? History has it that when Friedkin heard Schifrin's body of work, he erupted and rejected the score. This was not the last time Schifrin's work was rejected; this happened another time when the great Polish director Andrzej Żuławski commissioned the composer for the 1981 movie, Possession. Last but not least, don't forget that you can pre-order Colleen's new compilation on Bandcamp! Just click Here! Listen back to episode 26-41 of Balearic Breakfast: This morning’s Balearic Breakfast is now up on my Mixcloud and features loads of new tunes along with a half hour Balearic mega-mix from Sally Rodgers @sallycalledadam from @amancalledadam_hq The mix tells the musical story of their classic 1991 single ‘Barefoot in the Head’ which recently had a recent reboot as Barefoot 26 with new mixes and interpretations. It’s a great story and Sally tells us all about it on today’s show. There’s also new music from @brainstory @fsqofficial @north_satellite_nyc @djdlondon @arnosunchild @musiqvoyage @gregfoat @_djqueenb and @wilmilton and compilation cuts from @test_pressing_official new @madprofessorariwa retrospective, @djmarciacarr_official ‘s New York Classics Volume 2 and my forthcoming Balearic Breakfast compilation coming out on @heavenlyrecordings on the 13th November (pre-order link in my link tree).

  • Balearic Breakfast | Episode 26-40 | Boogie Wonderland... (Black History Month Celebration - 4h show)

    Colleen 'Cosmo' Murphy broadcast this new episode of Balearic Breakfast on her Mixcloud on October 20th, 2026. ABOUT THIS EPISODE Destiny had it... Destiny has it... Destiny will have it... Once again, a certain kind of Synchronicity hit... We all know the world lost its mind. We all saw hatred on their faces... They want to destroy our cities, because they believe they can do better. They believe that by destroying, they'll rebuild a new world, a new way of living, a new society... What they forgot is that they are attacking the very people, the very structures that sustain them... Destruction will never give anything else but a hideous wound that will never get filled... And all the chaos they created will not give them anything but lost feelings and crushed lives they will have to heal, somehow, directly or indirectly... One day or another... The only way to grow is to stay together... United we stand, divided we fall... All the love in the world can’t be gone / All the need to be loved can’t be wrong / All the records are playing and my heart keeps saying / Boogie wonderland, wonderland... I forgot that the French duo Native covered Earth, Wind and Fire's 1979 classic... When I heard it while trying to relax after another day, the lyrics hit me like a bomb, and I instinctively knew I had to request it... And boy, what can I say about the other songs requested for this episode... As NatinTheBeeShed put it in the chat, "Dudes! The requests today are on point!" As you can feel it, today's episode was another great 4+ hour musical trip. Of course, it was special because of the camaraderie we experienced while thinking about the songs we had to request. We always gather together and choose songs that really fit the show like a glove (thank you, Ana, for helping me find that incredible Stevie Wonder song!). We're all about music all the time, you know! This episode was also special because of Colleen's ability to take us elsewhere; I mean, listen to the mix she did between The Look of Love and Here Comes the Sun... The whole thing exhales accents of relaxation, happiness, and Hope... Boy, how much we need that in these troubled times! To celebrate, we all gathered together live on the Mixcloud chat, and we talked about Music, about the show, how we feel when we gather together (some of us exceptionally joining the chat, like mazphiri2, who wrote "I don't normally get to participate in the chat. Big love and thanks, Colleen). We also spoke about what is happening to the BBE Store, which faces difficult times as new flats have been built opposite it, with the new residents complaining about noise. With the store's license being reviewed, it may have to close, this eventuality is bringing the London Music Community together to save the sacred place... If you want to support the cause, click here, please! But this episode was even more special as it fell on David's Birthday, so of course the Balearic Breakfast Family was thinking about him, with some songs bringing back memories of happy dancing moments, you know... Boogie Wonderland... The Balearic Breakfast Family wishes Adam a Speedy Recovery... 👌 Listen back to episode 26-40 of Balearic Breakfast: Yesterday’s Balearic Breakfast is now up on my Mixcloud and ready for listening – all 5 hours of it. It’s a musical marathon in tribute to Black History Month and thank you to everyone who contributed some of their favourite songs and artists. It’s a journey through many different musical terrains and showcases a wide range of Black musicianship and creativity. And there’s some great social commentary within the lyrics. One way in which we can celebrate Black musicianship and entrepreneurialism right now is by signing the petition to SAVE THE BBE STORE (link in my linktree). BBE Records is celebrating its 30th anniversary as a record label and they’ve released incredible records from J Dilla to Brian Jackson and the Strange Game and Things comp which I snagged as soon as it came out. Ten years ago, BBE opened a record shop in an industrial area of Hackney – near the railway arches. The store quickly became both a musical and community hub with a programme of free events, birthday parties, DJ sets and live performances and has included appearances by many of my friends - Louie Vega, DJ Spinna, Handson Family, Marcia Carr, Brian Jackson, Love Injection, Francois K, Rich Medina, Alina Bzhezhinska, The Mighty Zaf… the list goes on and on and on. I would argue it’s one of the most important community venues in London and it’s a Black-owned business. This week Hackney Council are reviewing their license in the wake of noise complaints by new residents in the flats that were recently built across the street. They even made a noise complaint on a Monday when the BBE Store was closed. Seriously. Even our mayor Sadiq Khan understands that these types of venues and businesses are instrumental to London culture and social progress. It would be tragic for our community if BBE is shut down so please, please, please sign the petition (link in my linktree). Thanks for listening.

  • Balearic Breakfast | Episode 26-39 | Meeting Flamingo Pier & Sophie Callis (The Boatpod)

    Colleen 'Cosmo' Murphy broadcast this new episode of Balearic Breakfast on her Mixcloud on October 13th, 2026. ABOUT THIS EPISODE Dear Friends, it is high time for you to put your thinking caps on! Next week our Beloved show will be dedicated to Black History Month! A show we all deeply love and during which we always discover new artists and also celebrate the Greats that preceeded them! In today's episode, Colleen interviewed a Band we really love, the great Flamingo Pier (I did a written interview with the band's DJ, Luke Walker, a while ago, and you can read it here). She also met Sophie Callis, music veteran and head of the Boatpod, a floating radio station and DJ live-stream platform. Should you want to discover more about Sophie's journey, you can visit the Boatpod's website by clicking here. Listen back to episode 26-39 of Balearic Breakfast: This morning’s Balearic Breakfast is now up on my Mixcloud and features two guest mixes and interviews. First up is New Zealand groove band Flamingo Pier who have a new album out called ‘Woven Together’. Bandmember Luke Walker gives us the skinny behind the album and also put together a great mix which everyone on the chat group thoroughly enjoyed. Next up is Sophie Callis - the woman behind the radio station and podcast studio The BoatPod. She emerged from West London’s broken beat scene and has an amazing story about running off with the circus. Her mix is fabulous, as well. Thanks to all of the great DJs who have covered for me whilst I’ve been away and I’ll be back hosting Balearic Breakfast live again this coming Tuesday and it will be our annual Black History Month special. The request line goes up on Saturday and I look forward to your suggestions as always. Thanks for listening!

  • Balearic Breakfast | Episode 26-38 | Meeting Rainer Trüby & Lil’ Minx

    Colleen 'Cosmo' Murphy broadcast this new episode of Balearic Breakfast on her Mixcloud on October 06th, 2026. ABOUT THIS EPISODE Colleen will surely keep one moment close to her heart: meeting the great Tony Humphries during her trip in Chicago. Playing back-to-back with the legend is, as she described it on her socials, a "Bucket list moment"! We must thank our dear captain for sharing that great picture with us! Despite an unstable Wifi signal, preventing us all from enjoying the stream and the chat as we should have (we all experienced dropouts and the connection was lost several times during the two-hour show), the Balearic Breakfast Family gathered on Mixcloud and enjoyed the moment to the maximum, although even Colleen refrained from taking part in the chat to help the situation! Speaking about the episode, I did take the time to read a few reviews about the new Root Down 30 compilation, and there is one which was written by a French Journalist (you can find it here) which states: "Anniversary compilations often end up as museum pieces. A few classics, a neatly arranged chronology, and just enough nostalgia to reassure the regulars. Root Down 30, however, takes a different path. Rainer Trüby is not trying to sum up 30 years of club nights, let alone recreate some ideal night. Instead, he brings together tracks capable of carrying the same warmth across different territories: deep house, jazz-funk, Afro-Latin rhythms, electronic soul, and Brazilian music, whose many offshoots he has been exploring for decades. Back in the 1990s, long before eclecticism became a common selling point, Root Down was already bringing these different languages together in Freiburg. Gilles Peterson, Jazzanova, Theo Parrish, Kyoto Jazz Massive, Laurent Garnier, Dixon, Peter Kruder, and Richard Dorfmeister all passed through this dancefloor, which, far from the usual capitals, became a meeting point for the European underground." The mix curated by Rainer Trüby is simply the Coolest one we ever got to hear on the show. If you want to relax, if you want to relieve your nervous system, this is the mix you need to listen to! Of course, with our Captain being such a Class Act, you can expect to have an extended musical journey here... And this is exactly what happens as Lil’ Minx mix keeps the cool groove steady! That's what's great here at Balearic Breakfast, the greatest music is played by the greatest DJs who know how to unify the musical moment... IN other words, you can't go wrong! By the way, you can follow Lil’ Minx on her instagram! Listen back to episode 26-38 of Balearic Breakfast: This morning’s Balearic Breakfast is now up on my Mixcloud. As I’m still in Brooklyn, this week’s show features a special guest mix from Rainer Trüby and I also have a chat with him and Daybreakers record label honcho Miche about the new Root Down 30 compilation celebrating three decades of the iconic club night. Also joining me is Lil’ Minx who hosts shows on 1BTN and Audio Acupuncture on Manchester Reform Radio and is part of the mighty Eves’ Drop Collective. I’m sure you’ll dig today’s jazz-tastic Balearic affair. I’ve been so busy city-hopping and disc-jocking that I haven’t had a chance to share what I’ve been up to but over the next couple of days I’ll have a chance to catch my breath and will share some pics and thoughts of what has turned out to be an epic trip. Back soon and hope to see some of you at @goldenrecordnyc and @vin.yl_nyc at @green.room.nyc this Friday where I’ll be spinning from 10pm to 4am before catching a flight back to The Smoke.

  • Balearic Breakfast | Episode 26-37 | Meeting R. H. P. (Gez Dewar) & Family Gatherings (Sue Forrest)

    Colleen 'Cosmo' Murphy broadcast this new episode of Balearic Breakfast on her Mixcloud on September 29th, 2026. ABOUT THIS EPISODE Colleen broadcast this new episode from Brooklyn and, as she wrote it on her Instagram, she had to wake up at 5am to launch the stream and meet the Family on the chat! For some of us, dedication is not just another word, and it’s even more than a reality; it’s a way of living… Speaking of “ways of living”, Sue’s mix is such a great embodiment of that. It starts with two slow and immersive tracks, allowing the listener to dive into his mind. You feel an openness, a generosity, something taking you Beyond. Of course, there are other songs, like "Brazilian Rhyme", originally recorded by Earth Wind and Fire in 1977, or Michael Henderson’s 1979 “Riding”, that bring direct joy; and, overall, this mix is really a no-brainer because of the musical freedom it presents both in the songs selected and in the way they’re put together. As I said, this mix perfectly embodies a “Way of Life”! In the second part of today’s episode, Colleen interviews Gez Dewar, who has also been interviewed on the blog (see here & here) as we ferociously love his remixes! Gez is one of those musical heroes you love talking to because he shares such deep insights into his work, and his relationship with music that you never can get enough! The mix he did for the show is absolutely out of this world... Enjoy! Also, don't forget that you can still preorder Colleen's new compilation here 😍 Listen back to episode 26-37 of Balearic Breakfast: Patting myself on the back for waking up at 5am in Brooklyn to stream this morning’s Balearic Breakfast and thanks to all who kept me company on the chat group. Today’s show is now up on my Mixcloud and features a guest mix and interview from Random House Project and a Balearic Breakfast family mix from Sue Forrest. I also want to send a special sleep-deprived shout out to @francoisknyc for inviting me to play back to back with him at Le Bain this past Sunday - its always a blissful flowstate when we play back to back ❤️❤️❤️ and massive thanks to all who braved the nor’easter and joined us.

  • Family members : Sue Forrest

    Meeting Sue, after her set was broadcast during Colleen's last Balearic Breakfast episode, was a real pleasure. Let's talk about her love for music! 1) It was so refreshing listening to your mix, I especially loved the first two songs you selected as they really set up a special atmosphere, both calm yet tense and somehow uncertain. Can you tell us your relationship with these two? Really pleased you liked those opening tracks! The Raices track I heard watching a Quincy Jones documentary, there's a small section when they showcase the composer Alfredo Rodriguez, and I was really moved by its simplicity. There's only 3 instruments including the voices, and there is something really sweet about it that almost moves me to tears, to be honest. I recently watched a performance of it on YouTube which actually did make me cry, as they are playing after Quincy's death and they pay a lovely tribute to him, there was obviously a lot of respect, appreciation and warmth among them that really comes across in the video. The Marcos Valle track I heard when I was out vinyl shopping with my son in Manchester when we went to have a look at the university and city a few months back. I really love the vibe of it, reminds me a lot of movies from the late 70s and 80s when I was growing up, and it has this cool and playful element to it that really stands out. We were both really taken with Manchester, loads going on musically, so I think I was getting a bit swept along with this too! 2) I also felt a lot of freedom in your selections, and also in the way you presented the songs, it felt your intention was “track driven”, like you wanted us to enjoy every song on its very own. Which is very relaxing indeed! Did you prepare the mix or did you do it on the fly? What was your mindset like while recording the mix? Ah that's so lovely you noticed that because that absolutely was my intention. Every track is a winner in my opinion! I did prepare the mix in advance. I immediately knew I wanted to include the Stephanie Mills track as I love it, and then I also knew I wanted to include the Michael Henderson, Antoine Bourachet and if I could, the Guru tracks, but then I needed to think about how to connect them together. I knew that Random House Project were going to be on after me and that was going to be house music (it was such an interesting interview, and a great mix btw!), so I thought I'd follow Colleen's format of start super chill, go mid-tempo to gradually build up, and end on a few more upbeat tracks ready for RHP. As I really love the Raices track and the Marcos Valle tracks, it then made perfect sense to have them open. The remaining tracks came to me through a combination of songs that I grew up with (EWF, Badiyah and the Style Council track), the Guru track I played a few years ago at a gig, and it went down a storm, so I thought I'd put that in for good measure. Rachelle Ferrell is so ridiculously talented I just thought I had to include her somewhere. She's ideally better to watch in person, as the way she sings is mind blowing, but I hope people get it on that note she holds at the end of the track...... Insane! I really enjoyed recording the mix, was really happy throughout, and grooving when the beats picked up! Felt a bit sick afterwards, to be honest, when I sent the e-mail to Colleen as I had no idea if anyone else might enjoy it, let alone the captain.....! Thankfully, and to my great relief, it seems to have been very well received! 3) Which song from your set is That special one, like one you can’t live without? This is a really hard question, as they all have something about them that led me to choose to include them. I don't think I can choose just one, sorry! Still, I believe it would have to be Stephanie Mills for that syncopated rhythm and her voice, it's such cool toe-tapper, Michael Henderson's track as it brings an immediate smile to my face the minute you hear those opening notes and it's a track that is so representative of the time and genre, Rachelle Ferrell as she's a vocal lengend , and then the Guru and Antoine B tracks as they are so good to dance to in different ways. Sorry, I have absolutely NOT answered your question 😂 Sue and her wife, Michelle 4) We’re all linked together by the Love of Music, but is there a kind of music you never ever listen to? Like “no way, this is not for me!” OMG, that's a really funny but great question. I cannot bear thrash in all its different guises, but I think 'teutonic thrash' is the absolute worst for me. I also heard and got really scared at We out Here Festival this year when we wandered over to The Bowl space one evening, and there was this honestly, horrific noise coming out the speakers. It was just NOISE, and it was angry and it was frightening, and we ran away (thankfully to the safety of the Beat Hotel, which saved us! Lovely vibes by a DJ called Alex I think. The DJ that literally saved our lives!!). 5) Our dear Captain did create an astounding show, and every week we gather together enjoying both new and timeless classics. How and when did you discover the show? Can you share a memory you hold close to your heart? You know, I've been wracking my brain about how I heard about Colleen and I, with much apology to her, can't for the life of me remember. It's possibly through my social feeds which led me to the BB Tuesday morning shows which I started listening to via the recordings for a while and loved them. I couldn't believe that there was a DJ who played such a range of tracks from super chill right across the board and ending with absolute quality house bangers. I saw her play live at the Southport Weekender a few years back and she was great, no surprise, and then the following year I dragged all my mates into her set with me, and they all LOVED it! We were there from the beginning of the set, and I assured them it would be a masterclass, and it was! I think a special memory, and it feels a bit tragic to be honest as I'm a middle-aged woman, but it was when she played my first request.......! I was driving home from work listening to the recording as I'd missed the live feed, time was moving on, track hadn't been played, show kept going, still hadn't been played, got to 5 minutes before the end, and I thought, 'oh well, maybe next time.......,' and then here she says, 'and this last track, requested by Sue Forrest' Argh! Made my day, I was beside myself! So tragic 🤣 It's this great track called 'How Did U Know' by Mortimer Snerd, the Full Retouch edit, and it teeters on the edge of being really cheesey which I said in my request, but I'd heard enough of her sets to hope that she'd appreciate it for what it was, and she did! 😆 Ed. Note: Read about the episode here! It still makes my day when she plays any of my requests, so you can imagine the hysteria in my house when she asked me to do a mix! Music has been so important to me since I was a kid, it grounds me in ways I can't explain (but I know others understand). I was that person who made mix tapes for all my mates in the 80s, wandered round record stores as a teenager to pick up quality vinyl, had a radio show at university, dabbled with mixing over the years and played a few gigs for mates here and there, but have never had the guts to pursue it, so Colleen asking me was such a lovely acknowledgement of all that I knew musically and had gathered over the decades, I was over the moon! So a very big thank you to Colleen for asking! Can I also add, the BB family is such a lovely, friendly, inclusive space, it's pretty special what she has set up, so it was a genuine privilege to have been able to share songs that have had an impact on me in different ways, and I'm so pleased others have enjoyed it (to add to the tragedy, I've just checked Mixcloud and there have been 1.5k listens, insane!!! I know this pales in comparison to her other shows, but this to me is 💥!!) Thank you so much SUe for sharing your experience and your private photos with us, Love Saves The Day and, remember... Just Be Balearic!

  • Birds of Pandæmonium: A Dynamic Duo like no other...

    With the release of their new album, I simply had to meet Tim and James, the duo behind Birds of Pandæmonium. There are some dynamics you can't ignore! 1) First of all, thank you for being here with us! Birds of Pandæmonium, what a great name! Can you tell us why you chose it, and how it represents the music you craft? JAMES: I’ve always had a fascination with birds since I was a kid - the freedom of flight was really appealing and their grace, beauty. I’d read a book about a tech exec who transitioned her career to caring for endangered and exotic birds, called ‘The Birds of Pandemonium’, her sanctuary is called Pandemonium. I think I saw it on the shelf and said it out loud, and Tim thought Pandæmonium, like Milton - the infernal capital. Related to music, music is kind of a thing that does allow you to float and fly over a metaphorical hell scape and I think that’s why it works for the music we endeavor to make. TIM: It kind of sounds like a really cool literate Biker Gang too 2) 'I Want To Believe' was featured on Colleen's show last week, it has a strong leading rhythm and grand sonics, expanding the stereo image and bringing wild visuals during the chorus, contrasting with the verses which do not sound as big visually speaking. There is a strong trippy feeling in there! Do you think believing should have the same kind of dynamics in our lives? TIM: I think so. In fact, I’ve come to believe that the “secret of life” is learning to sit with or surf that inherent uncertainty of existence. Life is full of contradictions, unexpected turns, moments when everything feels small and moments when suddenly the whole world opens up. The trick is to embrace all of it. I like the idea of making life an epic, impossible quest and trusting that, somehow, it will work out. It’s how fairy tales seem to operate, and I think real life can be a little like that too. How do you achieve the impossible? You can only achieve the impossible by doing impossible things. You have to be willing to attempt things you don’t believe can happen, or things you never thought you could do, like, for example, making an album again. And trust that you will get from A to B. Somehow. Once you embrace the impossible, you enter a world where magic becomes possible. Belief/Trust becomes a kind of creative force. It allows you to move beyond what you think the rules are and into what “might” be. So maybe the dynamics are necessary: the quieter moments, the uncertainty, the tension and then the moments when everything expands and suddenly feels enormous. You accept the contradictions, step into the unknown, and keep going. That’s where the magic is. 3) I took the time to listen to some other tracks of yours, and indeed you use the stereo panning and the soundstage in a very immersive way. It is quite rare to feel sound in such an organic and vibrant way. Am I wrong if I say you don't like audio compression? JAMES: Ha, everything in moderation. I think dynamics are very important; you don’t want to have sound waves that are rectangles. TIM: So far almost all of our releases have had a vinyl component so we definitely mix with a lot of headroom. Our soundstages are wide and psychedelic, and some of our basses on this record are even wider. I was very worried when I first heard the test press of the record that some of our bass was too out there, but I got to tell you the record itself is a sonic thing of beauty. If you do vinyl, go and grab one now; it sounds amazing! 4) Another great example of your love for, I would say, "cinematic music" is "Out for you". How do you finalize a song, on the sonic side? What tells you that 'this is the good version" ? JAMES: Mostly the release date tells us, ha. I’m not an engineer and am prone to want things that are sometimes very wrong, and Tim puts up with my bad suggestions, somehow harnessing insanity into controlled chaos. TIM: Yes, like some of the real big subbass moments on the new record 5) What's next for Birds of Pandæmonium? Any touring plans? JAMES: Definitely more music, we’re always writing, dating and tinkering. Maybe some new reworks & remixes. We’ve been in the rehearsal space testing out live renditions, so a lot more coming soon. TIM: 3 Albums, many EPs, a world tour, and maybe a feature film. You got to think big! Thank you very much to the both of you for this great interview!

Listen closely, for instance, to Isaiah Collier's 'Joy' or to The Ruffcats ft. Doug Shorts' 'I Ain't Worried'. I'm sure you get today's episode message as clearly as I do! Colleen's message is crystal clear, hence the title I chose for the post, which perfectly reflects this positive message. On the chat, we were all talking about the forthcoming WOH festival, about the new Balearic Breakfast compilation (which will be released in November this year), and also about the great music our Captain played for us!

  • Balearic Breakfast | Episode 26-36 | Can't You See Me?

    Colleen 'Cosmo' Murphy broadcast this new episode of Balearic Breakfast on her Mixcloud on September 22nd, 2026. ABOUT THIS EPISODE After hosting an incredibly powerful and life-reaffirming Loft Party in London, where she did meet a few members of the Balearic Breakfast Family, and just before heading to the US, Colleen presented this 36th episode of Balearic Breakfast. Although the request line wasn't posted this past weekend, the Family eagerly waited to discover Colleen's selections and some of the new songs and tracks that went out recently! As you'll hear, this episode acts like a kind of "revelation", with every track depicting unsure pictures, complex musical layers and uncertain musical structures, which is very much the case, for instance, with the first three songs, 'Tanglewood', 'The Wind and the Forest' and 'Do What You Gotta Do' (listen carefully to the lyrics by the way 😉). I must admit I let you down lately, I'm sorry, as I wasn't able to analyse the shows as I did before, but hopefully I'm back on track with this one... Sakura Murakami's 'Fruits of Life' adds to today's themed show, as we feel the very pictorial astonishment of someone discovering what life can unveil... There's generosity lying in the first half of today's episode, through the questioning and the uncertainty; something, someone, somewhere is asking, Can't You See Me? And this question, which also allows some kind of "affirmation" if I can put it that way..., is asked at different levels with different answers and visuals in every song... (David Walters' Kryè Mwen, a classic which the Balearic Breakfast Family loves to bits, is a great example of that as the song is all about unconditional support, reassurance, and guiding somebody out of hard times into a better place)... Well, Can't You See Me?... In any case, while you're enjoying Colleen's revelatory mix, don't forget that on Tuesday, the 10th November, Classic Album Sundays will be holding a record release party at Hidden Grooves for the next edition of Balearic Breakfast Vol.V. and, this time, Colleen will be on the other side as she'll be interviewed by Andy Thomas, a fabulous writer who also wrote the liner notes for the compilation. There will be records for purchase and Colleen will also do a signing while the album plays over Hidden Grooves’ lovely hifi. The event is free but space is limited and must be reserved in advance. And you can still preorder the new compilation here.

But it was such a healing party and thank you to our entire London Loft family and all who joined us on the dance floor to see in autumn. The equinox certainly radiated the feeling of reflection. And reservations for the Balearic Breakfast 5 release party are going quickly. Its on the 10th November at Hidden Grooves HiFi Lounge in Shoreditch and reservations are free but space is limited (link in my bio).

That means I’ll be streaming at 5am from the East Coast and will be hanging out on the chat. I hope you enjoy the show, thanks for listening and enjoy your week!

  • Balearic Breakfast | Episode 26-35 | Beyond The Lighthouse...

    Colleen 'Cosmo' Murphy broadcast this new episode of Balearic Breakfast on her Mixcloud on September 15th, 2026. ABOUT THIS EPISODE Today's episode was as eclectic as it could be. Starting with a heartfelt tribute to our friend Olivier Gourdon (Men Tensel), Colleen then played sunny and engaging tracks, including the return of the crooked cat, which will be featured in the upcoming Balearic Breakfast vol. 5 compilation! (By the way, did you notice that Black Truffle's Meteor Shower sounds a lot like Barry White's Never ever gonna give you up?! Of course, our busy Captain shared with us the upcoming parties and events she'll host, including this weekend's Loft Party and also the oh-so-very eagerly awaited release party of our beloved compilation! You'd better watch Colleen's socials for these events, we will share every bit of information here with you as always! Listen back to episode 26-35 of Balearic Breakfast: Slammin’ some deep house on a Tuesday morning on this morning’s Balearic Breakfast which is now up on my Mixcloud. Today’s show features some new dancefloor tunage like these two: a Will Saul remix of Bamboubou and a new musclecars coming out on Neroli which both sounded magnificent in the Globus Room at Tresor this past weekend. I also premiered the new Auntie Flo remix of Mark Barrott’s ‘When Devils Became Gods’ and there’s new tracks from Soul Revivers, Birds of Pandemonium, Black Truffle, Habibisly, Marshall Watson, 40 Thieves, Coflo, Galaxians, boys shorts and more. After last week’s 6-hour marathon, today’s two hour show seemed short! Looking forward to seeing some of you at The London Loft this weekend, too. If you haven’t received an invitation, please DM me and we’ll sort that out. Thanks for listening!
