Peter Hook's fake DJingexposed

Tue 18th Dec, 2007 in International News

After his less-than-competent sets on the 2006 Parklife tour, we weren’t holding very high hopes for the DJ career of former New Order bassist Peter Hook. Now a video has turned up that reveals the ol’ boy has been pretend-DJing all along.

The clip, taken during Hook’s – œperformance’ on the MTV Free Your Mind stage at 2006’s Exit Festival, seems like a legit DJ set (without headphones, mind you!) – until the camera zooms in on the man’s hands during a mix. It’s blatantly obvious he’s just twiddling away to a pre-recorded set. Full marks for looking busy, though!

Check out the clip below, but prepare to have a little cringe:

Haha, hilarious bump. Ah, Peter Hook. He posted a rant on his website directly about me and my slandering of his reputation. Felt quite bad.

'Ah what a strange world we live in! this expose has appeared on An Australian website exposing me for the charlatan I am{sorry tim!} funny really its never the content that causes the damage, its like the PETER HOOK BLAMES BAND MATES FOR SPLIT! Headlines when you read the article I never did!

On this one PETER HOOK FAKE DJING EXPOSED! It shows a clip on YOU TUBE so out of context

,as they always are! The night was great the crowd was rocking ,why don't they show that instead of me? The most boring part? Im messing with the eq. on the desk , as taught to me by the great Arthur Baker, to emphasise rolls hand claps effects etc, then you sneak the bottom end out then bring it back in suddenly for added frisson.Shit he will kill me for telling you!

Funny really in the early days when people used to have to put the tracks on for me I didn't get exposed but now I do it myself? I get exposed, what a shock tho ,some djs play pre-recorded music???? My mate did the lights for a very famous English DJ, he was doing a three month tour of america and mimed to a 100,000 people a night! Just used a dat tape and just pretended to put the records on. Naughty boy! In my early days I would have chunks recorded max 11minutes now I do it myself I don't wear headphones cos I don't mix a lot! I edit the songs to start on the beat because I prefer it that way. I suspect that theres a little bit of bad blood goin down in OZ , I had a great time in PARKLIFE and had no complaints at all? But I had to pull another festival later, because id stupidly double booked it, my fault no one else's. I cancelled 5 months in advance but was amazed by the response as in you'll never play this town again to my mate works in Immigration your stuffed etc etc €€€€SO JACKT What you up to? Im flattered you think im important enough to expose, im sure we 'll bump into each other sometime, so I can explain ! In the meantime you've lost me 4 gigs, ah well at least it'll bring FREEBASS nearer! Love hookyx Have a watch!'

Actually, now I recall, it was more the comments from fans under his post that were a bit rowdier.
