Crazy P do it to me.

Hot off the heels off Bestival shenanigans, a special mention has to go out to the much loved Crazy P who put on an incredible set in front of 300 lucky punters in the Red Bull Tent.

Crazy P bore the more fruity name “Crazy Penis” back sometime in 2001 when I discovered their single “You started Something” and have been going from strength to strength since then. Check out their music but if you get the chance, get your dancing shoes to one of their gigs. Lead singer Danielle Moore has more energy than a vat of red bull and Chris Todd, James Baron, Tim Davies and Mat Klose are more than capable of providing a equally infectious soundtrack that will leave you dancing, spinning and making silly shapes all night long.

It was great to see an old favourite Gilles Peterson return to the Isle of Wight. From a Bollywood tent containing 6, to virtual capacity in a matter of minutes the mightly lord of Brownswood is certainly a crowd puller. An educator and true representative of modern Jazz, hip-hop and soul Gilles continues to supply a diverse and progressive alternative to the mass-audience-music that unfortunately dominates British radio. Catch up with his sound and interviews on Radio One – Wednesdays 02:00-04:00, or take away his podcasts; http://www.gillespetersonworldwide.com/podcasts.php.

Matt normally goes for glittery make-up when meeting celebrities

Recorded back in September and dedicated to a brilliant weekend slopping about in the mud. Inspiration coming from Greg Wilson, Horsemeat Disco & Hercules Love Affair, Gilles Peterson & Todd Terje to name but a few. Although the rain was torrential nothing was going to stop us having fun at the 2008 Bestival.

While Gilles Peterson entertained the Bollywood Tent with Todd Terje’s edit of Chic’s “I want your love”, Horsemat Disco and Greg Wilson ruled the roost in the Rilza stage.

Thats just a handful of the DJs. I haven’t even mentioned any of the live acts!

At last year’s event I discovered the deep techy sounds Will Saul, man behind Simple Records for the first time DJing in the Rizla lorry. When he dropped Wagon Cookin’s “Start to Play”, I was mesmerised by this hypnotic track. It is now one that is very hard to leave out of the record bag when playing out.
