Biography

Colleen 'Cosmo' Murphy is a DJ, radio host, and curator widely cited as a mentee and collaborator of David Mancuso. She co-produced The Loft compilation series with him, continues as one of the musical hosts of The Loft in New York, and co-founded the Lucky Cloud Loft parties in London — a direct thread of the audiophile, host-led tradition into the present.
