Next season's soundtrack: The Crookers
Posted Apr 14, 2009
The Crookers are coming soon to a playlist near you.
Italian D.J's BOT and Phra mix the funky, ghetto fabulous with plenty of bass. Described as making "Justice look like bedroom producers" - they're the dancefloor's new saviours and we're ready and waiting to worship anyone who makes our toes tap. Check out our exclusive interview with them below.
SWIDE MEETS THE CROOKERS
On Youtube there’s a great video called “Cooking with Crookers” so we thought we’d ask you - what’s your favourite pasta?
The one I cook with my grandmother’s tomato sauce, very simple, the secret is how you prepare the “soffritto”! Make the garlic turn a golden colour in hot oil and then take it away, add tomato...let it go for a while and bang!
Pictured below is the legendary grandmother's tomato sauce.
If you only have 10minutes what’s the best thing to cook?
See above...it's good and it's also very fast to do, hmmm...but give me 20 min please!!!
The worst thing you’ve eaten on tour?
Some Vietnamese soup in London that tasted exactly like hot water with nothing in it...it’s these times when we have to switch to burger-fries/kebab mode…
The best thing you’ve eaten on tour?
Crazy pancakes after a festival in Brisbane, maybe not the best food in the world but for sure a meal we’ve enjoyed the most.
You are playing at Coachella in April. What are your festival essentials? (Hat, sausages, suntan lotion, sleeping bag, whistle, groupies?)
...beer?
Who would you love to re-mix next?
Bo Diddley
Who gets you dancing Dolly Parton or The Ting Tings?
Both do!
A cosmopolitan cocktail or a beer?
Beer...champagne's not bad either by the way.
Favourite Internet radio station?
The BBC posts the dope shows online
Facebook or Twitter?
I just opened a Twitter account… (Follow DJ BOT at twitter.com/bot106)
With special thanks to the Crookers
Follow the crookers next at this year's Coachella Festival that runs from 17th -19th April 2009.

5 songs to... put you in the mood for digital love
I honestly fail to see sense in Valentine's day if you're a day over 13-years-old. Single people use it as an excuse to complain about being single (all men are jerks and all girls are crazy and whatnot), and couples ignore it or use it as an excuse to invite single friends over for dinner and boast about their love.

5 songs to... bring on the Super Bowl
Apparently, the Super Bowl isn't only a chance for a pop singer to get on a stage with the whole US of A watching. No, it seems that there's also a certain amount of interest in a game of football (their football, you know, American football) that happens before and after the pop performance. Who knew?
