PEOPLE GET REAL PEOPLE GET REAL is the collective name for the DJ/production duo of Simon Lister and Peter Wilson. Since 2002 they have been consistently and thoroughly bringing their brand of dance-floor terrorism to parties in their native Newcastle, across the UK and beyond.
Never allowing themselves to be pinned down to a particular sound or pigeon-holed is seen as the lads’ greatest strength. Their philosophy is that a club night or mix shouldn't be at the same level or tempo all the way through, instead it should be a mixture of all things good and proper. This gives the lads the uncanny ability to bring their mixture of house, techno and disco to any floor and rock it.
Various guest slots and residencies have been forthcoming and PEOPLE GET REAL now reside at MagicBag and Wax:On in Newcastle, Leeds, Brighton and beyond.
"PEOPLE GET REAL are up there with the very best DJ talent that the UK has to offer – and the reputation of their Wax:On residency and line-ups speaks for itself. Mixmag receive hundreds of CD’s each week, but years on, it’s PEOPLE GET REAL’s that we keep going back to. From Carl Craig to Depeche Mode, this is as real as you can get right now." Ralph Moore, Mixmag Their perfectly pitched style has led them to DJ alongside some of the world's biggest and best; Richie Hawtin, Luciano, Ricardo Villalobos, Loco Dice, Ame, Craig Richards, Ivan Smagghe and Andrew Weatherall to name just a few.
"I've had the pleasure of playing on the same bill as PEOPLE GET REAL on quite a few occasions now. Whether it’s introducing me to a new gadget, or new tracks, the boys always surprise me, in a good way! It’s an honor every time." Ryan Elliott Regularly featured and profiled in Mixmag and The Guardian, PEOPLE GET REAL are now also enjoying increasing success with repeat bookings at; New Years Eve showcases in Leeds and Newcastle with Radio One’s Essential Mix and Metropolis, Fuse Brussels, Reclaim the Dancefloor Ibiza, Chibuku’s secret Forest Parties, Sankeys and Naive Melody in Manchester, People Under the Stairs London, Sheffield’s Urban Gorilla as well as both Coco de Mer and Pigeonhole Disco in Liverpool.
Never ones to rest on their laurels PEOPLE GET REAL have also been busying themselves in the studio at every available opportunity. Recent productions have been played by the likes of Magda, Heidi, Matthew Dear, Tobi Neumann, Ryan Elliott, Tiga and Matt Walsh.
