Dingwalls 2015 Mix

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

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.

Brownswood Basement D&B Special // Part 1

Source Direct – The Crane (Source Direct Recordings)
Aquarius – Aquatic (Good Looking)
Photek – Fusion (Photek)
DJ Hype – Hello Lover (DJ Trace Remix) (IQ Records)
LTJ Bukem – Horizons (Good Looking)
Peshay – Futurama (Basement)
4hero – Parallel Universe (Reinforced)
DJ Dextrous – Sunny Smiles…(People) (King Of The Jungle)
Lemon D – Urban Style Music (Metalheadz)
Roni Size Reprazent – Trust Me (Talkin Loud)
United Future Organisation – Loud Minority (Alex Reece Remix) (Talkin Loud)
Roni Size – It’s A Jazz Thing (V Recordings)
Fugees – Fu-Gee-La (Goldie Remix) (White)
Photek – Ni Ten Ichi Ryu (Dubplate Version)
Adam F – Metropolis (Positiva)
Ed Rush & Optical – Zardoz (Virus)
Doc Scott – Tokyo Dawn (Good Looking)
Wax Doctor – Never As Good (Talkin Loud)

Tracklist: http://bit.ly/roy-ayers-75

Celebrating the 75th birthday of Mr Roy Ayers with this mix, showcasing some of my favourite tracks from his slightly lesser known material… Well, I mean compared to tracks like Everybody 
Loves The Sunshine, Searching, We Live In Brooklyn, Running Away, Love Will Bring Us Back Together…

I also hear new stuff that I hadn’t noticed before when I listen to his music - the track with Jack Wilson that opens the mix up is so heavy and cosmic for its time, and I’d forgotten about the track with Wayne Henderson! There are so many great albums out there including the 2 Virgin Ubiquities BBE put out... We could devote a whole week of radio programmes to Roy, his archive is so large… 

He is the key to all things between jazz, soul, disco and hip hop…. Thank you roy for all the music...

Roy Ayers 75th Birthday 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.

Rainy in São Paulo Mix

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!

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!

CD02 in the Havana Cultura Remixed package boasts a bonus DJ mix courtesy of Gilles himself that neatly weaves together the disparate threads that make up a typical Peterson DJ set. From the stirring percussion and meandering groove of Louie Vega’s marathon Latin workout of 'Roforofo Fight' to the hi-octane Benga-esque skank delivered by Carl Cox and the lazy ebb and flow of Michel Cleis’ magnificent shuffling houser, this is Gilles in his element.
