Throughout her career Colleen “Cosmo” Murphy has demonstrated a deep understanding of music and has been profiled as an artist of integrity with major kudos from the best DJs and producers on the planet.

“Cosmo’s popularity has grown through word-of-mouth recommendation rather than press hype, with props coming from the highest-ranking DJ’s themselves.” Dave Swindells, Time Out London

She is an iconoclast and a renegade.

“Colleen Murphy aka Cosmo has never been one to play safe. Her appearances across North America, Asia and Europe have crystallised her reputation as being a DJ who is as comfortable with the cutting-edge as she is with the rich musical heritage of her East Coast upbringing. Her instinctive leaning towards eclecticism rather than short-sightedness is again borne out by her Bitches Brew record label – itself named after the ‘difficult’ Miles Davis album that crossed the boundaries of rock and jazz.” Rob Wood, Jockey Slut

Cosmo’s heritage sets her apart from the rest.

“Her tutelage by David Mancuso within The Loft is unique within today’s generation of DJs and her New York City radio shows of house, disco and psychedelic rock tuned in and turned on a generation of new listeners from the late 80’s onwards.” Kazim Rashid, Electronic Beats

Her Cosmodelica radio shows exhibit her strong passion for and lengthy history in broadcasting.

“Cosmodelica is a breath of fresh air in the world of radio. It’s so refreshing to listen to someone play not only the best underground music out there but in a way that flows beautifully from start to finish and also talk about the music with such knowledge and passion. Deep stuff!” Jim Lister, Folded Wing Radio Producer

Cosmo’s new DarkStarr collaboration with Ashley Beedle is the real deal.

“By our estimations, the UK’s Cosmo and Ashley Beedle have approximately five decades of dance-music experience between them. Cosmo is the former New Yorker who’s now a mover and shaker on the London scene through her work as a DJ, radio host and owner of the Bitches Brew label; Beedle is one of the men behind such classic clubland combos as Black Science Orchestra, Ballistic Brothers and little trio called X-Press 2. Long story short: They know their shit.” Bruce Tantum, Time Out New York

Her Wild Rumpus project with former Captain Beefheart axe-man Gary Lucas is forging new frontier in the cosmic-balearic-psychedelic scene.

“Without doubt one of the freshest acts to appear on our radar for some time… Wild Rumpus manage to pull off that precarious marriage between far-out psyche sounds and the dancefloor; that obfuscated interzone where disco, rock and electronics collide.” Clash Magazine

Cosmo’s Bitches Brew record label reflects her musical eclecticism. “Every Bitches Brew release that drops through the door has me boggling round the room within seconds – always quality and a truly international sound that mashes up so many styles but always comes out clean. Good vibrations!” Rob Da Bank, Radio Host, BBC Radio One

A self-confessed audiophile, she is one the few elite to play on the superb sound systems of Plastic People, Deep Space, Body & Soul, Melting Pot and along with David Mancuso, the only to play on the three Class A sound systems of Sapporo’s Fillmore North, London’s Lucky Cloud Sound System and New York’s The Loft.

“She’s very devoted and very pure about the music. She’s one of the only people I would trust, both with the music and with the equipment, to fill in for me.” David Mancuso, The Loft

Inspired by her friend and DJ colleague Greg Wilson’s Living to Music blog, Cosmo started monthly Classic Album Sundays: A Communal and Audiophile Listening Experience events. The events feature a full musical and live journalistic presentation of the featured album and then the album played in its entirety on a Class A audiophile home Hi-Fi. Due to the questions it raises about how we listen to music in this dumbed-down digital age, CAS has hit a cultural nerve and has received major press coverage on the BBC, several newpapers including The Telegraph and The Evening Standard, music magazines like Word and NME and even women’s mags like Elle. CAS is also making the foray into alternative spaces like art galleries and into the festival world this summer with spots at Camp Bestival, Bestival and Vintage Festival. Expect to hear more.
