Gilles Peterson

Fresh from launching his new show on 6music, there was extra reason to celebrate when the legendary DJ Gilles Peterson returned to Brighton.

The audience, whom on average were 15 years older than the normal crowd you’d find on a Saturday night in Concorde 2, were dancing from the off as Peterson opened with the insanely catchy ‘Fly Like An Eagle’ by the Steve Miller Band.

From there on the selection was as diverse and eclectic as you would expect, with each track spurring the crowd into ever-more frenetic dancing. It was complete aural ecstasy. Peterson proved he is still at the top of his game.
