Masterful music has mood changing powers and Gilles Peterson has the ability to make the sunshine on a rainy day.
After attending a nappy night disco for underagers at his local church hall, music oracle and superstar DJ Gilles Peterson began harboring burning ambitions to become lord of the dance. Today he is the wildly acclaimed, private eye of prefect beats, broadcasting ground breaking radio shows and pod-casts, DJ'ing and event organizing internationally, on a one man mission to keep every genre of music, no matter how bizarre, unusual or outrageous, current and heard. Gilles' only criteria is that his turntables represent hench talent from all four corners of the planet. i-D got five on it with the Michael Flatley of the new music sphere to chat Mc's, Facebook and Southern Freeze.
