Legendary DJ and radio broadcaster Gilles Peterson is coming to Singapore for a special show on Friday, November 8, at Ida’s Bar.
Known for his deep knowledge of jazz, funk, hip-hop, and electronic music, Peterson has been a major force in the music industry for over 30 years, pushing new sounds and promoting underground music worldwide.
Speaking exclusively to Mixmag Asia, Peterson had this to say about his return to the Lion City: "I can’t wait to hear and discover what is happening in this current moment in Singapore and to fully experience and participate in it. And perhaps reconnect with Dean Chew and go digging with him!"
From his early days on pirate radio to hosting celebrated shows on BBC 6 Music and Worldwide FM, he’s become one of the most influential figures in music broadcasting.
