Dingwalls 2015 Mix

Having written a piece on Precious Hall which you can read above(see the blog button), I thought you might enjoy the first part of my set there on Oct 5. 

I was playing alongside Toshio Matsuura who as I walked in the club was playing some electronic bits that sounded so heavy, I threw a few in myself… Hope you enjoy.

Gilles was recently in Brazil to play at Boiler Room with the Sonzeira Reconstructed project, as well as working on the sophomore Sonzeira album. Whilst he was in Recife and Rio, Gilles found time to do some record shopping, and here are some of the highlights!

Tracklist

Carnival Música Popular Brasileira Mix

So here’s my tribute to the mighty mighty one, Mr Maurice White, who sadly passed away on February 4 of this year. He left us an incredible treasure trove of music that has shaped the way I live my life!

I avoided the really obvious hits that you can hear everywhere and went for my personal faves, and a solid dose of the music that went on to shape the unique sound of Earth Wind and Fire from his early years working with two great mentors to him, Ramsey Lewis and Charles Stepney.

I got so much pleasure recording this - I hope you enjoy as much as I did!

JAZZANOVA

For almost twenty years the eclectic collective from Berlin has been busy producing, composing, arranging, remixing, djing and generally shaping our musical world – in the clubs, on the air, in the studio, live on stage, and with their label Sonar Kollektiv.

Their “very fertile musical world” (Time Out New York) “has dominated the jazz-dance and down-tempo scenes for the past few years, both with its own label and with countless remixes” (Phoenix New Times).

Spreading their sounds and ideas with inspired DJ sets, Jazzanova’s DJs were among the first DJs from Berlin in demand all around the world. Juergen von Knoblauch, Alex Barck and Claas Brieler broaden the music’s appeal as DJs, not only on tour through the best clubs and festivals around the world but also on their weekly Kaleidoskop radio show on Radio1.

5YRS WEDDING SOUL

Five years of WEDDING SOUL, we look back on so far 60 shows of this small big event series. The jubilee is now celebrated according to the mood, with a two-day program, with exquisite guests, representing what WEDDING SOUL is: a well thought-out mixture of soul and funk-inspired music culture, the roots of these in the back, the present and the future in view. Always danceable and audible, surprising, new, and yet as if there had never been anything other than a connection between heart, dance, and soul.

Gilles Peterson & Alex Barck (Jazzanova) 11th April 2001 (One Live In London)

Hi everybody! I’m very happy to get my friend, the legendary Shuya Okino as guest for my new Show. Deep Jazz music is going strong, and as usual I have selected the best of my new discoveries from 2020

Omer Avital, Village of the Sun with Binker and Moses, the last great Web Web Album on Compost Records and a new extract from the recent Jazz phenomenon: the Jazz is Dead project by Adrian Younge and Ali Shaheed Muhammad.

Some legendaries jazz artists, still active, have produced some great featuring like Gary Bartz, Dee Dee Bridgewater and The Last Poets for our greatest pleasure.

Shuya Okino and me have, of course, both paid small tribute to the music of Bill Withers, who passed away a couple of days before to join for ever the « City of the Angels ».

MY FAVORITE THINGS - Show #21 w/ Shuya Okino of Kyoto Jazz Sextet (Hosted by Psycut)

Record collector / DJ / Broadcaster / Producer / Brownswood Recordings boss / occasional remixer
