“We are devastated to announce the unbelievable and shocking news that our beautiful Danielle Moore has died in sudden and tragic circumstances,” Crazy P said. “We need time to process that this has happened. Danielle lived a life driven by love compassion community and music. She lived the biggest of lives. We will miss her with all our hearts.”

Crazy P had most recently performed in late August in two gigs at Lincolnshire festival Lost Village on Sunday 25 August, before performing again at Etherow Country Park near Stockport the following day. Prior to this, the group had played a run of shows alongside Irish electropop singer-songwriter Roisin Murphy. Reacting to the news, Murphy wrote on social media: “One of the most beautiful souls has left us. The brilliant Danielle Moore of Crazy P has died suddenly and she has taken so much light with her. One of the best in music, an amazing person and an amazing singer, performer and songwriter.”

Crazy P, originally known as Crazy Penis, was formed in 1995 by Chris Todd and Jim Baron at the University of Nottingham. The bandhas cultivated a unique style of laid back electronic dance music, blending elements of deep house and downtempo with disco motifs. Lyrically, the band has defied the norms of the genre, not shying away from social and political commentary on their recent releases.

“I don’t usually write my lyrics in advance, as I feel they’re expressed better in tandem with the music, which seems to help tap into my subconscious. What came out on several tracks was Brexit, the state of UK politics and the way I feel about divisive, abhorrent manipulation by certain media outlets,” Moore said in 2019 about the release of the band’s latest album Age of the Ego.

The band became known for their energetic live performances and has built a strong fanbase, particularly in Australia where they have toured extensively. In 2008, they officially shortened their name to Crazy P to avoid controversy and broaden their appeal.

Their debut album, A Nice Hot Bath With…, was released in 1998, followed by The Wicked is Music in 2002. Moore joined the group in in 2002, marking a significant evolution in their sound, adding a new layer of depth to their music. Since Moore’s addition, Crazy P had released several albums, including 24 Hour Psychedelic Freakout (2003), A Night on Earth (2005), and Age of the Ego (2019), which Exclaim! Magazine praised as “refined, mature and socially aware, Age of the Ego is an all-inviting conscious party.”

“We’ve always loved that meditative but propulsive thing in [Four Tet aka] Kieran [Hebden]’s music”, said Everything But the Girl in a press release. “The restraint mixed with momentum. It is something that we often explore as well, so asking him to rework one of our songs felt like a great fit. There is a confident lightness of touch to his remix, underpinned by a raw killer beat, and a beautiful final third where all the subtle intricacies of his additional production coalesce.”

So, @FourTet has remixed ‘Nothing Left To Lose’. And it’s out today with Ben’s extended mixes of the original too. Hear them all now https://t.co/rA1NLzvLjm pic.twitter.com/CHAbsS1CHb

“Nothing Left to Lose” was originally released on the 10^th January and is the lead single from Everything But the Girl’s forthcoming album Fuse set to release on the 21^st of this month. On the two other singles released from the album, “Caution to the Wind” and “Run a Red Light”, the band embraces a nocturnal and repetitive soundscape mixing deep house and downtempo.

The band from Hull was first formed in 1982 and is made up of Tracey Thorn and Ben Wyatt. Fuse will be the duo’s 11^th album and their first album since 1999’s Temperamental.

Kieran Hebden, better known under the moniker Four Tet, first rose to fame as a member of the post-punk band Fridge. The DJ from Putney first began releasing solo material under the name Four Tet in 1998 and is heralded as a pioneer of the folktronica genre. He has released 11 studio albums under the alias and has remixed tracks by Tegan And Sara, Madvillain, Bloc Party, Super Furry Animals, The xx, Thom Yorke, Radiohead, Aphex Twin, Lana Del Rey, J Dilla, and most recently worked with Fred again… and Skrillex.
