The CJP Band

Raw disco, funk and soul from the New Forest, on Supa Jams — played by DJs including Gilles Peterson and Mr Scruff. A site built to be the band's permanent home: their records, their films, their dates, their words, and a way to book them.

The story

A home the band owns

A band with a label, a debut album landing in February 2027 and international DJs already playing the records still had nowhere of its own to send anyone. The site is that place — one page that says what they sound like and gives you somewhere to go next.

The request was simple: not a shop, not a ticketing system, just a page that works properly on a phone. Releases link out to the label's shop and Bandcamp, tickets link out to whoever is selling them, and booking arrives in the band's own inbox.

It came from the We Out Here app post — one Instagram post, no outreach, and a paying client the same day. The site went live on 9 October 2026, ahead of the album.

How that was measured: a real browser on a phone-sized viewport, loading thecjpband.com. Traffic is counted with Cloudflare's cookieless analytics — aggregate visits, no IP logging by the site, no profiles.

The figures above are the site's own weight. The only request that leaves the band's domain is that anonymous visit counter; the fonts are served from the site itself.

The site

One page, both screens

On a desktop. The wordmark over their own festival photograph, a line that says what they sound like, and two ways in: watch, or the records.

On a phone. Where nearly everyone arrives — from Instagram, usually one-handed.

How it's built

Four things worth knowing

Each of these was checked on the live site, not assumed.

01No cookies, and it says so

No advertising pixels, no tracking scripts, no profiles. The only thing that leaves the page is Cloudflare's cookieless visit counter, and the privacy page names it plainly.

02Fonts from the band's own domain

Nothing is fetched from Google Fonts, so a visitor's IP isn't handed to anyone else just to read the page. Type is served from thecjpband.com with the rest of the site.

03Fast on a phone

351 KB for the whole page, most of it pictures. Images are sized for the screen they land on, so nobody downloads a desktop photo to read a gig date.

04The band's own pictures

Shots cropped rather than retouched, and another promoter's branding taken out of the frame instead of painted over. Nothing on the page pretends to be something it isn't.

What this one proves

Melosuite isn't only festival apps. A band found the We Out Here app through a single Instagram post, asked for a site, and had it live four weeks later — no outreach, no pitch, no advertising.

For 2027 I'm building sites for bands, DJs, labels, venues, radio stations and festival teams — one fast page, no cookies, built from your own material.
