for a man with an absurd amount of records, gilles peterson is
remarkably disorganised. entire rooms of his finsbury park flat
are taken over by an indistinct mass of vinyl, and it's a miracle
he ever finds what he's after at all. "i'm not one of those djs
who keeps everything in perfect order," he admits. "there's one
amazing record - tribute to wes by moses dillard and the tex town
display - which i thought had been stolen from me about five years
ago, and it's worth over ú500. i spent years trying to get it from
dealers and nobody had it. i found it in my collection the other
day."
somehow, amid this chaos, peterson manages to pull out enough
records to retain his status as britain's most relevant and
far-reaching dj. he continues to run the talkin' loud label, fill
his radio 1 slot, play in clubs all over the world, and put out
compilation albums, the latest being worldwide programme 2.
"i need to revitalise my head before i can start thinking about
new acts who have impressed me," he says, "but i do think that a
detroit r&b singer called dwele is going to be a phenomenon. he's
19, the lyrics are naive, the production is fat and glorious, and
it's sensual in the way r&b should be. all the djs know about him
from a demo he put together a couple of years ago, and he still
hasn't released any records. but detroit is one of those rare
places where people aren't afraid to mix styles, while most
american music is very formulaic."
peterson's current enthusiasm is matthew herbert, a deep house
musician who is shaping up into a modern brian eno. herbert played
this year's montreux jazz festival with a big band: the orchestra
played a score that herbert had written, and he sampled the
orchestra as they were playing. "if he wanted the orchestra to
sound disturbed, he would put the sound through various
electronics," says peterson, "and he would play samples of the
arrangement as it was moving forwards. at one point all the
musicians ripped up newspapers - it was theatrical as well as
being inventive. for me, seeing st germain is as dull as it could
be, and herbert, who probably lost money on his big band project,
puts it all into perspective."
peterson finds a few old records that he loves, among them a
sensual, elegant version of michael jackson's billie jean by
brazilian superstar caetano veloso, and eastern horizons by the
charlie munro quartet, an australian band doing oriental jazz. "at
the moment i'm into eastern music, and these people, who nobody
has ever heard of, do beautiful waltzes in an oriental way."
equally exotic is varech, an album by french cellist henry texier.
"the beta band ripped him off completely," says peterson. "prince
based himself on shuggie otis, and the beta band based themselves
on henry texier. i always have a good time when i go to france to
buy records, although most of the good stuff gets snapped up and
goes to japan."
sixties pianist mal waldron is another current favourite. "my sort
of jazz, man: vocal, spiritual, totally off his head. his missus
elaine does the singing. then there's a guy called harry
whittaker, who wrote a lot for roy ayers and did this record
called black renaissance, which is unbelievable. they've just
re-released it, actually, which i'm a bit pissed off about."
british jazz from the 60s and 70s also finds favour. "the
soundtrack to the film kes, which was released last month for the
first time, features all british jazz musicians and it's lovely,
and i've recently put together an album with people like michael
garrick, don randall, graham collier, dave green and julie
tippett. i go and see them sometimes and about three people turn
up, but the original records are really expensive - at least ú400
each."
new names include earl zinger - "hip-hop poetry from rob
gallagher, another one of britain's lost treasures" - and drum
magic, a drum'n'bass outfit from sao paolo. "summery, colourful,
works on the dance floor and i like it. they cut up a monster
jorge ben track called take it easy, brother charlie. then there's
bebel gilberto. i don't particularly like bebel gilberto but dj
marky, also from sao paolo, cut up her version of marcos valle's
so nice. it's naff, but i have to admit, it's got something."
this total immersion into music does not seem to have killed off
peterson's love for what he does. "one of the great things we have
here in london is the record-shop culture," he says. "i enjoy
going from shop to shop in soho, and then serious collectors come
round here to sell me eastern european film soundtracks at ú50
apiece, or strange northern soul sides that i might like. getting
through the new stuff is one of the biggest jobs of my week, but
my work is based on enthusiasm for discovery. there are djs who
have been playing the same old shit for the last 15 years. i don't
understand that at all."
