Flirting with Friendship

Róisín Murphy’s Unfiltered Guide to Creative Survival


Listen Later


Pop icon. Underground legend. Ultimate collaborator.
Róisín Murphy sits down with Seth Troxler & Bill Patrick for a wide-open conversation about friendship, creative longevity, and why she never wants to feel like she’s “arrived.” From Moloko’s beginnings to Róisín Machine and Hit Parade, Róisín talks choosing collaborators, building truly live shows, keeping style chaotic (on purpose), parenting while touring, and finding community in Ibiza.


You’ll hear about:

  • Why collaboration is crucial—and how she chooses who to make music with


  • The difference between real live performance and DJ convenience


  • Vulnerability as a power source in songwriting (and in love)


  • The Sheffield “clang,” industrial cities, and how environment shapes sound


  • Raising kids around artists, meme fame, and attention in the TikTok era


  • Creative stamina: how to keep going for 30 years without getting “comfortable”


  • Style as art direction: student shows, caravans of costumes, and fearless visuals


  • Friendship in nightlife: compromise, community, and keeping a sense of humor

If you’re here for stories, wisdom, and a reminder to stay adventurous and warm (never hot), this one’s for you.
