Gilles Peterson Worldwide Awards 2010 Highlights

Worldwide Awards 2010 from brownswood on Vimeo.

Q-Tip

Just a quick word to say how amazing Saturday night was. Worldwide 10 at the Camden Roundhouse with Q-Tip, DJ Semtex, The bPm, Dorian Concept, Little Dragon, Gilles Peterson and Benji B. The music was incredible, I felt at times the levels in the venue weren't right, but nonetheless Q-Tip was a superstar, stage presence, talent and charisma all working together to create the best show I've ever seen. yeah well done Gilles and the gang see you at Koko for Mulatu & The Heliocentrics. Oh and cheers to Toby & Abby for their hospitality.

WW

More hype about Mayer Hawthorne this week, this time from Gilles Peterson, with a storming track "Maybe So Maybe No". That's a big track. Also a little floating points showcase, including a wicked live track feat. Fatima. Gonna leave you with a video for "Love Me Like This" Floating Points. Enjoy

Young Heartache

Just got my hands on Bullion's new EP "Young Heartache" It is amazing, i've been waiting for it since GP played a track from it on Worldwide. The track he played "Time for Us All to Love" is the choice cut, got a Brazilian vibe to it, great cut up vocals, in fact all the tracks have a lot more of a soulful vibe than Bullion's earlier work. It is always great to hear an artist take a different route and to pull it off. Bullion has certainly done that. I expect to hear these tracks being played by tasteful DJ's a lot. Well done Bullion, I'm definitely feeling it. www.myspace.com/bullionness

End of the Show

So I should admit I fell asleep towards the end of GP's show last night, I think it's only fair, I mean it's late. Anyway I caught up on the end of the show today and realised I missed quite a finish, quite a soulful vibe, there was like a little segment that was just spot on. The tracks were

Kay Suzuki Ft Fatima – Something To Say (Fresh Minute Music)
Phlash & Friends – Tricks (Restless Soul)
Rochelle - Hit The Floor (Test)
Omar – When You Touch Me (Test)

I really need to get my hands on all of these, the Phil Asher one is just a remix of Restless Soul, but I liked it I think it worked well. And the Omar track is just spot on. Well Gilles, with another great show, just keeping things fresh and right. Much Love.

In New Music We Trust...

So if you listened to last night's Worldwide on Radio 1, you will have heard some fantastic music. Gilles played a couple of tracks from Doom's new album (formally MF Doom). I've actually managed to get my hands on the promo for this album, with a release date of 24th of March (I think), on LEX records. Well let's just say Doom is one of the best, pretty much carrying on from his Stones Throw stuff, in terms of lyrics and flow, however the production is quite different. The Tracks are a lot smoother, not as many of those amazing vocal samples his previous stuff was filled with. "Angelz" is a great track, if you can imagine Doom rapping over a classic James Bond theme, with a vintage Doom beat. "Cellz" is a wicked track too, quite dark, about a two minute intro, but then the sombre horns, and Doom's unchallenged flow just get your head bouncing. Check it out 24th March, you can pre order it online now @ http://www.lexrecords.com/shop/pages/view.php?stockcode=LEX069CD

Oh yeah got a nice little shout out from Gilles on the show again. Always brings a smile to my face. Much love John Edwards

Worldwide

In the true spirit of Gilles Peterson, this blog has gone worldwide. I've had hits from as far a field as LA, San Antonio, Austin, Chicago, Florida, Milan, Vienna, Budapest, Berlin and Gdansk. This is super cool seing as I've only been online for about 10 days. Anyway GP's show is on tonight so I might be able to direct you to some new tunes via Gilles. Exciting times. John Edwards

Scientists of Sound, Mathematically Putting it Down

After years of searching I've finally found the sample for the Gilles Peterson Worldwide show intro I've finally found it. Heaven at Once by Kool & The Gang. Yeah!
