Summary:

Whether DJing and producing at Worldwide FM, running his rapidly-growing We Out Here brand, or acting as label boss at Brownswood Recordings, Gilles Peterson is the man to go to if you want to chat about music. He is, first and foremost, an avid record collector, and it’s this deep-rooted passion that sustains his love for new discoveries, and his hunt for the perfect beat. In an infectious conversation, one that makes you want to run off and immediately listen to everything he recommends, Peterson takes on the 12 Qwestions. His reference points vary wildly, as you would suspect, with everything from Japanese cartoon themes to the Carpenters getting a mention. Ever eclectic – it is Peterson’s open mindedness that makes him such an inspiring figure. This spirit is perhaps best expressed when he talks excitedly about the prospect of playing Sun Ra’s "Love in Outer Space" for a crowd of ravers … it doesn’t get any more interesting than that.
