ABOUT GILLES PETERSON
The word "DJ" takes on ever broader meaning. At its root, it still boils down to a disk jockey who spins vinyl for a living. But under the DJ rubric are radio DJs, club DJs who beat-match tracks, as well as "turntablists" who scratch. Many DJs are also creators who DJ to supplement their livelihoods and get their tracks out to audiences, while others take on roles as tastemakers, influencing the public through compilations and record labels.
