We're back in business now though and kicking off with DJ.NATURE aka Nature Boy aka Milo - Wild Bunch OG, Major Force West affiliate and connoisseur of that good stuff... full spectrum... from hip-hop to house and techno and beyond. Gilles hooked up with him for a chat about his worldwide travels and the inspirations behind his new record - 'Return Of The Savage' - forthcoming on Golf Channel Recordings (http://www.golfchannelrecordings.com/). Rugged and raw basement soul vibes - just how we like it. What's more, he recorded a dope "Influences" mix for us.You can download the podcast HERE (http://media.blubrry.com/gillespeterson/content.blubrry.com/gillespeterson/96_Gilles_with_DJ_NATURE.mp3) [right-click-and-save on a PC // ctrl+click on a Mac]…...

Gilles set up the Steve Reid Foundation last year in memory of his close friend who sadly passed away after suffering from throat Cancer in April 2010 without the money for treatment that could have saved his life.Last years efforts to raise money were spearheaded by Gilles's marathon run, which he completed in 4 hours 43 minutes and 9 seconds. Rumour has it that he will do it again…!“This is something that is very close to me and that I feel strongly about, and wanted to set up something as a lasting legacy to help others in similar situations. To this end, I am running the London Marathon on April 17th on behalf of the Steve Reid Foundation.” GP.(http://brownswoodrecordings.s3.amazonaws.com/wp-content/uploads/Steve-Reid-.png)This summer brought the success of the rooftop party and we are pleased to announce that we raised £1,000 for the foundation.A big thanks to the venue organisers – the Bootstrap Company (http://www.bootstrapcompany.co.uk/13_dalston_roof_park), those who came and danced the...

(http://brownswoodrecordings.s3.amazonaws.com/wp-content/uploads/gilles_idris.jpg)Earlier this year Gilles met up with Idris Ackamoor - multi-instrumentalist and co-founder of afrocentric spiritual jazz collective The Pyramids - to chat about his early influences; his time studying at the artistic hotbed that was Antioch College (Ohio); his spiritual journey in Ghana, Uganda and Ethiopia; and the amazing albums that The Pyramids recorded throughout the 1970s. There's also a couple of brand new exclusive Pyramids tracks from the band's forthcoming LP!

(http://brownswoodrecordings.s3.amazonaws.com/wp-content/uploads/gilles_P_masterpiece.jpg)A few weeks back, Gilles was a guest on Ross Allen's Ministry of Sound radio show, coinciding with the release of Gilles' brand new Masterpiece compilation. Typically, as the two are firm friends and kindred spirits, what was supposed to be a short interview snowballed into a 2 hour marathon and threw up some amazing insight into Gilles' musical roots and broadcasting career. So much so that we felt compelled to re-up for anyone who missed it.
