"If you have music running through your head when you wake up in the morning, when you brush your teeth, and all day . . . well, that's the kind of thing we should be trying to help you with. But we'll show you what others did, too, so you can use them as role models." 
quote... Professor Richard Evans.

The Soul Arranger (Part two) - Richard Evans

A six hour DJ session from Manchester's Band on the Wall alongside the incredible @tarzsa_williams, hosted by MC Kwasi. 

Mostly uptempo styles on this one, and some mega energy on the dance floor. Had some great feedback during the night about Tarzsa. Big shout to all the venue crew, regulars and first timers!

Gilles has put together a vinyl selection of tracks from across the spectrum of roots culture for your listening pleasure.


Fruits and Culture Vol 1

No Light

Due to popular demand, we've pulled this one out of the archives... 

Back in 2010, Gilles Peterson recorded a special Brownswood Basement show focusing on the evolution of drum & bass through the 90s and into the 00s. It was by no means a comprehensive history of the genre, but it did represent an excellent snapshot of the tunes that struck a chord with Gilles back then. 100% vinyl (and acetates), Gilles spent the best part of a day rummaging through hundreds of records and picked out around 40 of his favourite tracks from the likes of Alex Reece, Peshay, Goldie, Drumagick, Roni Size and Photek… then @alex-patchwork got deep in the mix. Here then, is the first hour-long mix that made up that show - no links, jingles or drops - just the music. We hope you enjoy it.
