There are curators, and then theres Colleen Cosmo Murphy. – Resident Advisor
The sun has finally come out. Its the first time something like this has happened for months and months; the first glow of an approaching summer, whatever date the calendar is currently saying it is. The whole thing acts as a curative meditation, miraculously wiping away all the greyness of the past few months. Right now, optimism abounds, outlooks change and your daily soundtrack has shifted from spiky and uptight into a kind of cosmic space where songs ebb and flow and drift on like rivers run on forever towards the glimmering sea. Bliss, right?
If youre reading this, were assuming that youre the kind of person who views summer as a state of mind rather than a good looking day on the BBC Weather app. With that in mind, we reckon you already know all about Heavenly Recordings series of untouchable, utterly essential Balearic Breakfast compilations, each one lovingly compiled by visionary DJ, producer and broadcaster Colleen Cosmo Murphy – the genius club legend whose radio show of the same name (broadcast 10am to high noon every Tuesday via Mixcloud) began as an escape route from the pandemic before rapidly building a global community of dedicated Balearican listeners.
Each Balearic Breakfast album has provided a spiritual getaway from the greyness of the everyday through a handpicked selection of glorious, psychedelically coloured, expansive music. It doesnt matter where on the planet the music hails from, or when it was made, it just matters that it fits like a jigsaw piece into the musical whole. Be it off world jazz music or vocoder led robo-disco music; whether decades old or pressed to vinyl for the first time, everything on these flawless Balearic Breakfast collections just needs to flow together and bring the listener into the sunshine, whatever time of year theyre listening.
Due for release this August, the fourth Balearic Breakfast compilation sees Cosmo take this head trip further than ever before. From the opening tracks swoop and glide that nods to Vangelis Blade Runner soundtrack before gliding into its own expansive voyage to the stars (Kandeen Love Song) to Cosmos own glorious Parisienne stroll through Saint Etiennes recent Alone Together to Ilya Santanas Spanish space disco anthem Cosmovision – a track that rollsthrough like a turbo powered Supernature – and the phenomenal 2015 disco version of Gloria Ann Taylors early 70s classic Love Is A Hurtin Thing, this Balearic Breakfast offers the perfect soundtrack to the summer, whether its actually happening outside or just taking place in your head. After all, they dont call breakfast the most important meal of the day for nothing.
Tracklist:
1. Paz – Kandeen Love Song
2. Santino Surfers – Freedom Surfers
3. Saint Etienne – Alone Together (Cosmodelica Remix)
4. Paqua – Akaliko
5. Tar Blanche – Iguana
6. Bryony Jarman-Pinto – Moving Forward (Cosmodelica Remix)
7. Troy Kingi – Chronophobic Disco
8. Ilya Santana – Cosmovision (Disco Version)
9. Gloria Ann Taylor – Love Is A Hurtin Thing (12 version)
As with each of the previous Balearic Breakfast albums, many of the tracks featured have never been available on vinyl before and the ones that have been usually go for eye watering sums of money on Discogs. Please be aware that these albums sell out quickly.
