COLLEEN COSMO MURPHY
Colleen ‘Cosmo’ Murphy is a highly respected and experienced musical selector and curator, founder of the album listening event and content hub Classic Album Sundays and an authority on music, sound and the vinyl renaissance.

She was mentored by David Mancuso at his seminal Loft parties in New York City. Together they co-produced the compilation series David Mancuso Presents The Loft and worked together on David’s record label The Loft Audiophile Library of Music. In 2000, David told Time Out New York City “She is 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.” She is one of the musical hosts at The Loft, the co-founder of the Lucky Cloud Loft parties in London and DJs internationally on the worlds best sound systems and dance floors.

Classic Album Sundays tells the stories behind the albums that have shaped our culture and in some cases, our lives. Colleen founded Classic Album Sundays as a stance against the increasing devaluation of music and sound. What began as a passion project is now the world’s most popular album listening event with satellites in four continents and the website and social media channels host content on classic albums and artists such as interviews, videos, playlists and more. BBC Breakfast Television remarked, “Classic Album Sundays treat our best loved records like great symphonies.”

She has been a radio host, DJ and programme director since the age of fourteen and today hosts Cosmodelica and Classic Album Sundays Worldwide on Worldwide FM and a Classic Album Sundays series on Studio 360 with Kurt Andersen. She is the writer and host of BBC 6 Music’s ongoing album series ‘Sounds of a City’ and BBC Radio 4’s doc series ‘Turntable Tales’.

As a producer Colleen has remixed The Rapture, Fat Freddy’s Drop, Beardyman, Candi Staton, Two Bears, Phenomenal Handclap Band, Cantoma, Horace Andy, Chaka Khan & more under her Cosmodelica moniker and as DarkStarr Diskotek with Ashley Beedle. Along with former Captain Beefheart guitarist Gary Lucas, she recorded and produced as Wild Rumpus.

GELA
Gela began making her way to djing around 2003, in Ocio Bar, Murcia. Since then, she has lived and nurtured from different sources around the globe, making her sound a mixture of brazilian, space disco, acid, electro and oldskool, to name a few. In 2013 Gela moved to Madrid, where she reconnected with Madame Excuse. Together they are Iguana, and their style lies between organic and analogic sounds, always keeping a foot on the groove.

Gela has played in clubs all over, such as Metro Dance Club, Moss, and Bar Ocio in Murcia; Sala Om and Razzmatazz in Barcelona; Lokee, Toi Toi or Bar 25 at Corsica Studios in London; Wilden Renate or About Blank in Berlin; Siroco, Café Berlín, Sala Sol or Brunch In the Park in Madrid, Dabadaba in Donosti, y sharing the booth with Selvagem, Red Axes, Young Marco, Zozo, Alienata, Octo Octa or Michael Mayer amongs others.

Her only premise is making the dancefloor vibrate and creating the perfect atmosphere in every set.
