CLSM is a British Happy Hardcore group. To date, CLSM has contributed dozens of popular vinyl singles to the Hardcore music scene as well as four full CDs—Bathford - Welcomes Careful Drivers, Transmission to Mars, Hardcore Material, and Return To The Unexpected. The group has also released tracks on DJ Seduction's Maximum Impact label in the past amongst others.[1]

"John Peel (Is Not Enough)"

In 2003, CLSM produced and released the single "John Peel (Is Not Enough)". The lyrical content of the track expressed the dismay that John Peel was the only BBC Radio 1 DJ to play hard dance music as part of his show. The track and further remixes were not only big hits in the clubs but the name of the track was used for a BBC one-off show featuring John Peel showcasing modern Hardcore music.[2]

The record sparked a campaign including the biggest petition at the time on the BBC's own 'ican' site. The success of the petition and communication resulted in meetings with Radio 1.

In 2005, DJ Kutski was given a monthly show on rotation with other DJs. In October 2008, Kutski was given a weekly show on Radio 1, drawing the 'John Peel' campaign to a successful conclusion.
