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 Peterson DJ set - Precious Hall, Japan (5th Oct 2015)

Ahead of their first live show at St Pancras Old Church on Friday,  here's a chat I had with the two boys from LV, Will and Simon, discussing their beginnings, their D&B period, linking up with Keysound and Hyperdub, working with Joshua Idehen, Omkalumkoolkat, and the new project featuring Armenian pianist, Tigran Hamasyan. 

Ancient Mechanisms’ is the fourth album by globetrotting London production duo LV. It traces a train of thought that was sparked by a live session with Tigran Hamasyan back in 2012: two and a half years down the line and a trip to Belgium later, the finished record is as much about the workings of musical artefacts as it is about putting the virtuoso pianist into new contexts.

Gilles Peterson remembers great artists who have passed in the last year with his annual RIP Mix for Worldwide Awards 2020.

Gilles Peterson: Worldwide Awards 2020 RIP Mix

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)

Now the world has slowed down due to corona we have all space and time to reflect and to create. From this place in space I made a mix I normally wouldn't  have the time to make and you wouldn’t have the time to listen to it. Calm down is a 6 hour spiritual jazz adventure, a dedication to all musicians that are struggling, I hope this mix inspires you like music always has inspired me. 
Thank you

Operating out of Melbourne, here is a group who have been showcasing jazz and diy experimentalism in a whole new light.

The four piece group have been making waves amidst funk, soul and jazz communities the world over and most recently released a nine track album via longstanding UK based imprint Mr Bongo, a label which has become an authority in the sound. 

"All News Is Good News" was released in July and was met with critical acclaim, it was well received and showcased the instrumental capabilities of a group very much on the rise. 

We invited them to piece together a mixtape, they do so in fine style.
