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.

"The man, the myth, the legend ... the incredible selections of arguably one of the most influential DJs of our time." - Miles Ahead
