Pharoahe Monch came down to the Brownswood basement ahead of his sold out show at The Garage in Highbury a couple of weeks ago. We talked Hip Hop history, digging for records, sampling and his love of playing in the UK. It was fascinating to hear his stories of the early days of Organized Konfusion and Rawkus Records as well as the plans for his next album.

I avoided the really obvious hits that you can hear everywhere and went for my personal faves, and a solid dose of the music that went on to shape the unique sound of Earth Wind and Fire from his early years working with two great mentors to him, Ramsey Lewis and Charles Stepney.I got so much pleasure recording this – I hope you enjoy as much as I did!

(http://www.gillespetersonworldwide.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/04/Alice_Russell-e1366724447698.jpeg)One of the finest contemporary soul voices to come out of the UK and an all round national treasure, Alice Russell dropped by Brownswood a little while back as she was preparing to release her brand new album 'To Dust'. It has to be said she mostly came for Cheese Wednesday, but she did catch up with Gilles in the basement to discuss her ongoing collaborations with the likes of Quantic and TM Juke, the new record, as well as spinning some inspirational tracks.You can download the podcast HERE (https://s3.amazonaws.com/brownswoodrecordings/Podcasts/103_Gilles_with_Alice_Russell.mp3) [right-click-and-save on a PC // ctrl+click on a Mac]… or subscribe to Gilles’ podcasts via iTunes (http://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/gilles-peterson/id254695278)Tracklisting...Quantic & Alice Russell - I'll Keep My Light In My Window (with The Combo Barbaro)Elis Regina - Agnus SeiAlice Russell - I Loved YouAlice...

(http://www.gillespetersonworldwide.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/03/Jamie_Lidell_GP-e1362656154341.jpg)Genius singer-songwriter and production mastermind Jamie Lidell (check his tour dates (http://www.jamielidell.com)) has been roaming around the fringes of mainstream consciousness for over a decade. A veteran of Warp's impressive artist roster, he has consistently flirted with pop sensibilities but his approach has always skewed delightfully from the left, resulting in a string of killer albums that have cemented his global reputation. His new album 'Jamie Lidell' (https://itunes.apple.com/gb/album/jamie-lidell/id581380661) finds him in synth heaven, inspired by the likes of Jam & Lewis, George Clinton and Cameo, and on a recent trip to London he joined Gilles in the basement for a good ol' chat about the past, present and future plans.You can download the podcast HERE (http://media.blubrry.com/gillespeterson/content.blubrry.com/gillespeterson/102_Gilles_with_Jamie_Lidell.mp3) [right-click-and-save on...

His good friend J Rocc was the last DJ to bless the basement with a live mix. Would he maintain those exceptionally high standards? DAMN STRAIGHT!!

(http://www.gillespetersonworldwide.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/01/bobby_gilles_low1-e1358957026316.jpg)Just before Xmas we were blessed to welcome the legendary singer-songwriter Bobby Womack to the Brownswood Basement for a chat with Gilles. The original interview was broadcast on Gilles' BBC Radio 6 Music show but, given the super-heavyweight status of Mr Womack and his history in music, we couldn't resist posting up this special extended version. Shouts to Dave O'Donnell on the edit!!

(http://www.gillespetersonworldwide.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/01/diggs_duke_WEB-e1357217789707.jpg)American singer-songwriter Diggs Duke caught our ear in 2012 with a string of awesome self-produced releases via his Bandcamp (http://media.blubrry.com/gillespeterson/content.blubrry.com/gillespeterson/99_Gilles_with_Diggs_Duke.mp3) (so much so that we had to include his track 'Nine Winning Wives' on Brownswood Bubblers Nine). Watch out for him in 2013 - we're tipping him big! Anyways, Gilles caught up with him at Brownswood before the Christmas break to find out more about what makes him tick.You can download the podcast HERE (http://media.blubrry.com/gillespeterson/content.blubrry.com/gillespeterson/99_Gilles_with_Diggs_Duke.mp3) [right-click-and-save on a PC // ctrl+click on a Mac]… or subscribe to Gilles’ podcasts via iTunes (http://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/gilles-peterson/id254695278)Diggs Duke recorded live in Amsterdam, 9th November 2012
