John Peel Wiki

Changes to the look of John Peel Wiki will take place in the near future due to a new skin being rolled out over Oct/Nov across Wikia. Please see the Wikia Staff Blog for further details. On this site, the changes will affect the navigation from the left menu, as well as introduce a fixed page width with narrower content space. Please be patient while adjustments are made for the switch to the new system.

UPDATE: As the change is now in force for some users, I have switched the navigation to the simplified one for the new system. Please check Navigation in the Help section if you can't find things. I also initially made small adjustments to the front page layout, but have now reverted to the old look until all users are on the new system.

COUNTDOWN: Just a reminder for people still using Monaco that the final switch to the new skin is due on Nov. 3. After that, it will no longer be offered as an option. Sorry. Nothing to do with me.

Peel enthused about DJ Kaos' 'Hold Me Now' (which sampled Chicago's 'Hard To Say I'm Sorry') on his December 1996 (FSK) show:

"But this could very easily be, well I could say the record of the decade, but it would be a very silly thing to say, but it's certainly is a late contender for the record of the year for me, and there's not much I can tell you about it, beyond the fact, it's by Kaos and if you're a Chicago fan, you may find this interesting."

The record was one of his selections for the Peelenium 1996. He also included DJ Kaos' 'Go Mental' as one his recommended records of the month in March 2003 (Peel's Record Box), with 'Morse Code' following in the next month's list (see April 2003 (Peel's Record Box)). Peel also played various pseudonym records by Kyriacou including Waxman's Heaven which used the sample of Belinda Carlisle's Heaven Is A Place On Earth.
