I am a huge fan of DJ, BBC radio moderator, Talkin’ Loud label founder and (since recently) podcaster Gilles Peterson. He is always digging a little bit deeper in sound archives than his collegues and he has an excellent feeling for new music and upcoming artists on a worldwide level. He is “Searching for the perfect beat” on his show Gilles Peterson Worldwide on BBC Radio 1 since many years now (listen here). But it seems this is not enough so he started his own podcast recently: Gilles Peterson Worldwide where he is highlighting music labels and their sound catalogs. Founding a new music label called Brownswood Recordings and starting his podcast marks maybe the beginning of something new (this is a speculation on my side).
I will continue to follow him like an online groupie and I hope I can attend one of his DJ sets / parties soon.
*Psst* I just saw this – looks like a really really cool event!
