Links To Peel
In 2003, CLSM produced and released the single "John Peel (Is Not Enough)". The lyrical content of the track expressed the dismay that John Peel was the only BBC Radio One DJ to play hard dance music as part of his show. The track entered at number 9 in the 2003 Festive Fifty , which surprised Peel on how high the track reached on the chart. Further remixes were not only big hits in the clubs but the name of the track was used for a BBC one-off documentary show in 2004 featuring John Peel showcasing modern Hardcore music—a BBC radio first at the time. The record sparked a campaign including the biggest petition at the time on the BBC's own 'ican' site. The success of the petition and communication resulted in meetings with Radio 1. In 2005, DJ Kutski was given a monthly show on rotation with other DJs. In October 2008, Kutski was given a weekly show on Radio 1, drawing the 'John Peel' campaign to a successful conclusion.
