For the launch on the 16th October, Gilles Peterson will take centre stage. On support will be award winning DJ & producer jojoflores and warm-up duties by Paddy Freeform from Universal vibes. It will be journey into world music with influences in deep jazzy & soulful dance music in every sense of the word! About Gilles PetersonGilles Peterson doesn't like the term world music. And he doesn't like the word jazz much either, although he's a DJ who has spent his life promoting music that fits into either, or both, of these categories, along with anything from soul to hip-hop, ambient styles or electronics. "I always thought world music was a put-offa" he explains. "It's too much of a stereotype. And jazz is not a word you can use, but it's important music, so just slip it in. Maybe one of the reasons for my survival is that I don't ever throw my entire body into one particular term. It's hard to place me." A master of what he terms “joining the dots”, Gilles’ weekly radio show “Worldwide” on BBC Radio 1, and his various compilation CDs paved the road for those of us searching for the strand of harmony that connects various, sometimes incongruous, genres of music. Gilles takes his listeners on journeys through jazz, funk, hip-hop, and dance, through the old and dusty, the new and never-to-be-released, classics and classics-to-be.
