Let's face it. As a DJ and musical tastemaker Gilles Peterson has few peers but in my humble opinion he's put his name and face on to a few ropey compilations over the last couple of years. Brownswood Bubblers Three heralds a startling return to form.
An eclectic tour de force of fine talents, there really is something on here for just about everyones's musical palette from the catchy electro swirl of "Turn it on," to the punchy soul of "How about us" and the ethereal, dream of Kenneth Bager's "Fragment Zero."
Two tracks that really do it for me are the smokey Mrs. Dalloway reflection of Jukes's "Something important," and the stark lyrics on,"Prayers for Angry Young Men."
Cool, fresh, ideas brimming over - this is GP back ... Read More:

Boundry busting Gilles girates his Technic for smiley faces...

CD1 foreward thinking house mix, starting out all soulful and vocal, then moving into his more trademark afro sound (with 4/4 this time though), then into jazzy house and deep techno. He gives the middle finger to his dissers that say he can't mix. Ok he's no Louie Vega or Sasha but he does a solid mix here.

CD2 his usual kinda black music gear. Very uplifting though 'think Jackie Brown' soul, jazz, b-boy.

CD3 unmixed exclusive gems, a good variety of house grooves for all you budding jocks out there. Very different and very fresh.

Highly recommended.

Music : Sunday Afternoon at Dingwalls - Gilles Peterson & Patrick Forge Present
The title pretty much tells you the story behind this compilation. Dingwalls was a dirty little club in Camden. For six odd hours after noon on Sundays (hence), mildly successful radio disk jockey Patrick Forge and BBC legend Gilles Peterson would spin eclectic records which existed on the forgotten fringes of jazz, funk, and soul to compliment that day's live act, which featured the likes of Roy Ayers, Incognito, Courtney Pine, and other legends over the years. All of the grateful sweat Pat and Gilles generated in that dim gin joint from the mid-eighties to the early nineties has been livingly translated into this two-disc collection one scratchy seven inch at a time. When you hear the likes of Tribe Called Quest's g-funk "Luck Of Lucien," The ... Read More:

5.Back in Brazil by: Gilles Peterson
June 26, 2006
Average Rating:  out of 5 stars

Music : Back in Brazil
Following on, and using the same winning formula as the collection In Africa, and In Brazil, we now have Back In Brazil. Gilles' decision to have a full CD of archive stuff alongside a CD of new stuff is better than it sounds...there are some great Brazilian tunes in the vaults, and I have found myself listening to classics from the sixties and seventies quite a bit, although admittedly I prefer the new stuff.

Disc one, Das Velhas, (the oldies?) highlights are wide and varied from Salsa orchestras to intimate Bossa Nova tunes, but my faves are Jorge Ben (natch), Luis Eca's intriguing loping sound, and Antonio Adolfo's sweeping big band arrangement. 31/2 stars.

...but it's disc two that really cuts the mustard. From the opener, ... Read More:

GP picks some winners here. Darondo's "Didn't I" is worth the price of admission alone. The previously undiscovered version Baaska & Scavelli's elusive "Get Off The Ground" (AKA The Bottom End), a mythical track on the jazz dance scene really is the icing on the cake.

I bought this as it was highly reduced in price and what a bargain. It's a feast of grooves, good feeling vibes and earthly rhythms that will totally transform any views you may have that African music is for the musical elite only, it's amazing and I'd have no hesitation in saying BUY THIS NOW!

Hmm perhaps not for the trendies that GP picked up on his BBC show but the old school fans of Vibrazone and worldwide on Kiss and club nights at Bar rumba will know these barnstorming Latin tunes.. From straight up Montuno's thru funk, bugalu and Jazz the quality never let's up. Special mention for Kako's afterhours orchestra - 100% Salsa dynamite!

This collection is even more amazing when you consider that at the time of release, many of the featured artists such as Jill Scott, Herbert, Koop, Zero 7 were all relative unknowns. Pepe Braddock: Deep Burnt is actually worth the album price alone.

An awesome downbeat mix with the quality control set somewhere around heaven!!!
