There was some very sad and sudden news yesterday- the unexpected and tragic death of Danielle Moore at the age of just 52. Danielle was the singer and ball of energy at the front of Crazy P, the electronic band formed at Nottingham University in the mid- 90s by Jim Barron and Chris Todd, Danielle joining them in 2002. She grew up near Manchester, found herself on the dancefloor of the Hacienda and in recent years lived in Todmorden where she was a huge part of The Golden Lion community and where she will be hugely missed.
This is Cruel Mistress from 2015, Crazy P at their slinky best, shimmering electronic disco/ house.
Danielle sang on Craig Bratley's Play The Game, a 12" out on Magic Feet in 2016, a record that came with a sizzling Andrew Weatherall remix- people who worked with Andrew often say that when doing a remix the first thing he'd get rid of was the vocal. Not so in this case, Danielle's voice remaining at the centre of this ten minute remix, laid over the top of the slo mo drums, juddering guitar chords, and synth arpeggios.
You can buy Play The Game digitally here. The vinyl is long since sold out.
RIP Danielle.
