Various - Electric Brownswood CD (Brownswood)

Written By 3 - July 28 2010

Available on CD here

Compiled by Alex Stevenson (one third of London-based DJ/producers Patchwork Pirates and assistant to Gilles Peterson) and proudly featuring cover art by KARBORN, Brownswood electr*c celebrates the spirit of invention and commitment to experimentation intrinsic to the Worldwide underground in the face of the fusion and hybridity that characterizes contemporary sound system culture. The boundaries between so-called “hip-hop”, “house”, “techno”, “dubstep” and “drum & bass” have never been so blurred, and it’s at these crossings, junctions and awkward intersections where the most inspiring and stirring sound clashes occur. These are the sounds that we commemorate on Brownswood electr*c – the music that occupies the grey areas… that lives in the spaces in between… that falls between the gaps.

Gilles Peterson In Aotearoa

Written By 3 - March 11 2010

via www.gillespetersonworldwide.com

Tuesday 23rd Feb

They say first impressions last, so was it a good idea picking up GP with the Submariner in a battered Toyota Caldina – probably not. At least he knew right from the off how things roll out here in Aotearoa.

Within 30 minutes and much chin wagging and we’re in downtown AK, putting our guest on the high seas and sending him off to Waiheke island for the next 2-3 days. Easiest pick up and drop off by miles – wish they were all like this.  Continue Reading

Gilles Peterson @ The Turnaround - Fri 26th Feb

Written By 3 - January 28 2010

Joining the musical dots and colouring in your ears, Gilles Peterson is the tastemaker's tastemaker.

From his origins in the halcyon days of UK pirate radio, through to his long standing and globally revered Worldwide show on Radio 1, a nod from Gilles on the airwaves is a priceless affirmation that can't be bought or sold. If there’s any doubt about that, ask local recent recipients of his highly esteemed patronage, like 2005 Worldwide Album Of The Year winners Fat Freddy’s Drop, or the Turnaround tipped Electric Wire Hustle and Julien Dyne, both of whom were featured amongst his Worldwide tracks of 2009. Recent guests have included Digital Mystikz’ Mala, Mos Def, Joy Orbison and Radiohead’s Thom Yorke, which should give a small clue to the depth and breadth, of this musically obsessed gentleman’s taste and reach.

Gilles’s Acid Jazz and Talkin' Loud record labels came to symbolize, and embody, the top shelf of sideways jazz and elsewhere sounds, that permeated the progressive playlists of the late 80's and 90's. Now his latest imprint Brownswood Recordings (Jose James, Soil & Pimp Sessions, the Bubblers series etc) has become a vital valve on the most discerning retro rolled and futuristically flavoured sounds, based purely on ruthless quality control and superior beatsmanship.

His first New Zealand performances at the Box, back in the early/mid 90’s, still rate amongst the most spectacular and defining moments in Auckland club culture. However it has been too long since Gilles has been seen around these parts in his element, laying it down clubwise in the unique style and fashion he has honed since the legendary Dingwalls and Electric Ballroom days of over two decades ago.

While others may rely on mix tricks to make the most of not a great deal, Gilles has the goods, the real goods… to take you on a journey through crates that are the envy of collectors and new school beatheads globally. The chance to see the only NZ appearance of one of the worlds most in demand (and yet resolutely individual and adventurous) DJ’s, in the Turnaround atmosphere, is guaranteed to be one of the highlights of the year, and a full sell-out.  An elevated mind and open ears are essential, don’t miss!

Gilles Peterson @ The Turnaround
Fri 26th Feb, Bacco Room, 53 Nelson St, Auckland City
Tickets $35 + BF available from Conch Records, 115A Ponsonby Rd, Ponsonby

Gilles Peterson - Presents Havana Cultura 2xCD (Brownswood)

Written By 3 - October 28 2009

World renowned globetrotting DJ, broadcaster and tastemaker, Gilles Peterson teamed up with the award winning Cuban jazz pianist, Roberto Fonseca, to find the very best up and coming musical talent in Havana. 12 Months in the making it represents the biggest collection of contemporary Cuban musicians in a single musical initiative since the highly acclaimed launch of Buena Vista Social Club in 1990.

Featuring the work of over 20 musicians and artists recorded across 28 tracks, the double CD album is a celebration of Cuba’s freshest musical talent from latin, afro jazz and fusion to hip hop, funk, reggaeton and R&B. The album includes a collection of new material written and recorded in Havana by undiscovered local street and urban musicians such as vocalist D’nay (described by Gilles Peterson as “Cuba’s Jill Scott”) and Doble Filo as well as international award winning artists such as rapper Kumar and pianist Roberto Fonseca. Fans of Cuban music will also recognise a number of traditional Cuban classics such as Chekere Son, which have been carefully re-recorded by Gilles Peterson.
