DJ Cosmo (a.k.a Colleen Murphy) first began working at a record store in Boston, and it was music, too, that decided her pick of college: N.Y.U had a radio station and pretty soon she stepped up to become programming director of the station. After visiting parties at The Loft in ’91, she invited David Mancuso to play on her radio show. Next, as the legendary DJ became a friend and musical mentor to Cosmo, she began spinning at The Loft alongside people such as Francois K., Lil Louis, Danny Krivit and managed the original Dancetracks record store with Joe Clausell by day. With friend Nikki Lucas she established the label Bitches Brew in London, founded a publishing company and released her own Ch’I productions as well as a host of other music. She is also a founding member of the Lucky Cloud Sound System, which puts on parties with David Mancuso (the Loft) at the Light in London four times a year.
“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.
In January this year, Cosmo came to play in Nottingham at a party hosted by Basement Boogaloo at The Maze. She has kindly given us permission to post the recording that we made of her set for your listening pleasure….
Keep up with Cosmo via My Space, Cosmodelica, her regular show on Samurai FM, Cosmic Music, Bitches Brew and Lucky Cloud.
