My NTS
Live now

London
06:00 - 08:00

This melody brings back a memory as i open my eyes quiet are the skies my mornings breathe in tune A journal of songs that lift my spirit and open my heart. Singing them on repeat. From Darija to Mandarin, join me in singing along to my favorite tracks—both those with lyrics and the instrumental ones.

In a world of pessimism we want to hear from the optimists. Whatever joy sounds like to you, we're airing it: whether that’s pirate radio grime rips, ebullient gospel songs or the distorted kicks of happy hardcore.

Gilles Peterson

On 29 June 2018, Gilles Peterson was a guest on NTS x SONOS International Knockout; and on 25 June 2013 was a guest on Dazed Summer Season. Gilles Peterson has been played on NTS shows including Akito, with Chekere Son (Seiji Rerub) first played on 23 March 2018.

Gilles Peterson is an influential DJ and record-label owner from Switzerland, who moved to London (England), as a boy. Through his labels Acid Jazz and Talkin' Loud he has been associated with the careers of countless well-known artists of the 1990s.

He is also well known as a radio DJ: starting out in pirate radio in the early eighties Gilles worked on a number of stations including Solar, and hosted jazz oriented weekend sessions at Camber Sands, and club nights at Soho's Whisky a GoGo. He found a slot on Radio London following Jazz DJ Brian Priestly and built up his name and career in London on Radio and by hosting the now legendary Talking Loud & Saying Something sessions at Camdens Dingwalls Club. He moved onto to have a radio show on London's Kiss FM dance music station, but was recruited to the BBC's youth-oriented Radio 1 in 1998. Peterson is known for his eclectic musical selections. Though not as "anything goes" as the late John Peel, he plays anything from dub and reggae through jazz, nu-jazz, soul, neo soul, R&B to drum and bass, house, broken beat, hip-hop and Jazz-funk.

He has released numerous compilations of his favourite tracks over the years reflecting his wide ranging interests including the varied but soulful 'INCredible Sound of Gilles Peterson' and the African funking 'Gilles Peterson in Africa' going back to early Talking Loud compliations of Acid and Latin Jazz.

He also has a home page on Radio 1 at http://www.bbc.co.uk/radio1/gillespeterson/index.shtml where you can listen to his latest radio show.
