John Legend premiered his Benny Benassi-produced single "Dance the Pain Away" in the Sahara tent during the DJ's set, and Solange made a guest appearance during the performance of her friends the xx.
The operation was supposed to get under way just after 1400 GMT, as soon as the adverts on the station had finished, although it was 40 minutes before the last advert was over and a new DJ started his set.
The controller is the same four-beamed multi-button affair we've seen before, but now with a custom version of the aforementioned DJ application to call its own, and make the set-up a cinch.
The operation was set up to look into allegations of sex abuse against BBC DJ and television presenter Savile, which were made following his death in October 2011.
He was held as part of the inquiry set up after claims were made against Jimmy Savile although his arrest is unrelated to the former BBC DJ and TV presenter.
