Gilles Peterson Worldwide BBC Radio 1 Jingle Package 1998

This is a Jingle Package Gilles & Benji B (his producer at the time) asked me to do way back in 1998 when he first started at BBC Radio 1.

If you find any recordings of his shows from back then you'll probably hear them!

Family Mart

I'm spending the summer in Japan. I normally come here in spring time to avoid the heat & humidity, so its quite a new experience for me this year. Its much greener, and everything seems to be moving a bit more slowly. Its also impossible to ignore the aftermath of one of Japan's biggest ever disasters, the Tōhoku earthquake & Tsunami that caused so much devastation, physically, emotionally & financially. All summer fireworks displays have been cancelled this year, with all money going to the regions affected. Air conditioning is being switched off to conserve electricity, and people seem worried about radiation which apparently might not be safe for another three years.
So I've started a blog to document my trip. You can view it here:
