Gilles Peterson :: Digs America

For those of you who were curious as to what compilation I was referencing in the Darondo post, the following should clarify a bit. Gilles Peterson is the envy of dj’s, collectors and crate diggers around the world. At least in the world of Aquarium Drunkard. The holmes has a collection so dense and thick that it is stored in it’s own warehouse (Gilles former home, known as Brownswood). Note: He has also started a label under the moniker Brownswood as well.As eclectic as he is prolific, Peterson’s tastes run across the board touching on funk, dub, r&b, soul, danchall, and hip hop, with a particulary keen ear for interesting world music. His comps are fantasticly eclectic and varied — and there are many, many of them. Gilles Peterson Digs America: Brownswood U.S.A. finds Peterson mining obscure old, rare and out-of-print soul, r&b, and jazz . Mecca.
