Gilles Peterson + Mixed Bag

Hear this show now: Pop-up player!

Gilles Peterson really wanted to be on the radio when he was a kid - so he rigged up a transmitter in his backyard (with the help of his dad) and took listener requests at a neighborhood payphone. His perseverence paid off; now he's a dj on BBC Radio One (where he once followed John Peel), a globetrotting club dj, record producer and label honcho (Talkin' Loud).

Prime instigator of the jazz-to-dancefloor movement acid jazz - he coined the term - but a man of many genres, Gilles has compiled a new double-cd of Brazilian music old and new: Gilles Peterson in Brazil(Ether Records).

Gilles joins us for the second hour of the show to introduce the cd, muse about dj culture and tell a few radio tales. The interview segment starts here.

Info / audio clips from Gilles Peterson in Brazil can be found via Giant Step or Sterns Music among others.
