Gilles Peterson

His music taste is all embracing and he overflows with good music! The guy plays anything...soul, jazz, nu jazz, R&B, dub, reggae, hip-hop, drum and bass, broken beat, brazilian, rio funk, jazz funk, house, drum and bass... 

He is a record label owner and has his eclectic "Worldwide" radio show on BBC Radio 1... 

Amazing show by the way! To listen visit...

  Gilles Peterson's brilliant new triple CD compilation for Defected House Label has just been released.  I purchased it on monday and it's pretty much all I've been listening to since then.   It's soulful, deep, jazzy, exciting, funky, groovy, rich, smooth, contemporary and at the same time old school... It's sooooo good...I'm loving it!

It's imported so I'm not sure how easy it is to find out there.... I found it at American Rag...but you can always get on online.

Gilles Peterson has yet another project I love... it's  a series of podcasts that share his experience of his trip to Brazil, his encounters and interviews with some of the biggest brazilian musicians, and the music of course.  Check it out...
