Response to Mime Set Criticism Lyrics
"Hello I Love Bass Music and everyone who is talking about this photo... so. here is how and why this happened. Capital FM made us do this show with a backing track playing but allowed the vocalists to sing. They said that they had to trigger the tracks themselves to sync visuals. We pleaded with them for weeks and weeks to let us play fully live or at least let us mix but they just weren't having it. You will also notice this was the same for a lot of the dance acts playing that day (i.e. the duke dumont pic you posted)
Notice also that we didn't try and make it look like we were mixing. We left the fucking plug on the floor on purpose, didn't even plug phono leads into the master out, turned all the EQs fully down and the master out AND DIDNT EVEN TAKE HEADPHONES for god sake!! LOL if at any point we touched the mixer it was...well, you try standing infront of 80,000 people and not touching the mixer... go on... its really hard hahaha!
I would also like to point out that people like David Guetta ect who have also been accused of pretending to mix, actually try and cover it up and pretend to blend tracks into one another and hide it... but with us, we played three songs with vocalists b2b with gaps in between, so even if we had been mixing, there would have been no beat matching involved anyway + we didn't try and hide it at all!!
But yeah it was a very strange experience and one we will not be going through again. Capital have been amazing to us and they play our songs roughly 400 times a week across their various networks and we wanted to thank them for all the support.

Chart-topping UK dance duo Disclosure have jumped online to defend themselves after a photo was posted of the duo performing to 80,000 people at the Summertime Ball event at Wembley Stadium sans headphones and with the CDJs unplugged.
The I Love Bass Music Facebook group posted the photo to its page (see below) with the tagline “Did Disclosure just pull a David Guetta?”, making reference to the French pop star’s often mimed DJ sets, which prompted one half of the duo Guy Lawrence to defend their actions, stating that they pleaded with Capital FM to be alllowed play live or DJ, but that the radio station “just weren’t having it.”
