Gilles Peterson Gets His House for Defected

Gilles Peterson

Gilles Peterson's name is synonymous with the more leftfield side of dance music, via both his 'Worldwide' Radio 1 show and his international DJ career, so what's he doing mixing the latest offering from Defected's In The House series? Well, he's just getting back to his roots…

If we take look into Gilles' past, he's not really such a surprising choice by Defected. Based upon twenty years of DJ experience, these CDs reflect the diminutive DJ's past as A&R for the legendary Acid Jazz and Talkin' Loud labels, as well as his time running Sunday sessions with Patrick Forge at Dingwalls and his Worldwide radio show. Thus there's a lot of ground to cover in this, his first house-based mix compilation.

DJ Duo Filthy Dukes

It’s difficult to imagine the dark dungeons of London’s Fabric full of glowstick-toting clubbers, but that’s exactly what happened when the Filthy Dukes held their recent Kill Em All bash.

“It was insane,” said Olly Dixon, one half of the Dukes.

“I know it’s not very original but seeing 2000 glowsticks in the club looked cool, with The Klaxons DJing and our other residents Simian Mobile Disco rocking it.”
