Press release:

DJ, broadcaster, producer, compiler, label boss, record collector, and festival curator – the many venerable titles of Gilles Peterson. From regularly spinning records at UK clubs like the late Plastic People, the master selector’s tastes cover everything from Jazz & Soul to Acid House & Hip-Hop, coming as no surprise from a man who owns 50,000 records.

With the icon currently holding down a residency at Phonox, seeing Worldwide FM attain far-reaching acclaim to finding time for the position as creative director of WeTransfer. Helming the seminal label Brownswood Recordings - Gilles remains very much with his finger on the pulse of worldwide music culture.

Back in New Zealand for the first time since 2010 - this show will sell out - don't delay
