Crazy P Live @ Dubai Chill Out Festival 2009
To trace the origins of Crazy P we have to go all the way back to 1996. This was the year that brought together James Baron and Chris Todd. It was the era of Ataris, Akais and bedroom studios and, through their love of bending and reshaping old records from many different genres; a production partnership was born in the backstreets of Nottingham. After a couple of releases under various different monikers, the work attracted the ears of legendary deep house label Paperecordings based in Manchester and the creature that is Crazy P was born. There's been numerous and enjoyable trips to Australia since the band were adopted by the Aussies in 2003 and shows across Europe over the past five years. Highlights so far have included a support tour with 'Faithless' in 2005, New Zealand and Australia for New Year 2006, headlining the Castle Stage at the Big Chill 07 and the summer festival season every year! This year, the band is looking forward to releasing their fourth artist album 'Stop, Space, Return' which will be out on 2020 Vision this October 2008. And keeps eyes peeled for their European tour, which kicks off this September at venues all over the UK and beyond. Also, discover Hot Toddy, Ron Basejam, The Bionics and Secret Stealth on Myspace - all side projects involving various members of the Crazy P crew.
