Listen "Róisín Murphy's foundation songs"
Episode Synopsis
Roisin Murphy is a force of nature. We first met her as one half of Moloko, whose pop house hits made them a household name. But since 2005 Roisin Murphy has carved out an incredible solo career, and a dedicated fanbase to boot. Her latest album is Roisin Machine; it’s a deep cut of house, disco, and industrial sounds fuelled by her formative years in Manchester and Sheffield.Roisin’s life story is pretty fascinating, which is why I asked her to choose her foundation songs. From formative moments in a mosh pit, to the organ shaking surround sound of a club, go deep with this legend and her incredible record collection.The Stooges – "I Wanna Be Your Dog"Minnie Riperton – "Inside My Love" Talk Talk & Tim Frisee-Greene – "Life What You make It (Extended Mix; 2003 Remaster)"The Family Stand – "Ghetto Heaven (Soul II Soul Remix)"Cabaret Voltaire – "Yashar"
