Hundreds of people turned up to see the BBC1 DJ legend in action and we can assure you they weren’t disappointed. Starting with the first act : DJ Toshio Matsuura from UFO mixing a blend of reggae, jazz, soul, house and all sorts of unusual sounds. Watch the videos

The grand Gilles was next in line and all we can say was that his set was amazing !

La Bellevilloise couldn’t have enough with just one Brownswood Recording night, so they brought us another one! And this time it’s going to be huge! Reunited on the same stage are Gilles Peterson, Jazza nova, Eddy Meets Yannah, Shuya Okino de Kyoto Jazz Massive, Toshio Matsura de Ufo, and Jazzamar! Try to say all that 10 times fast, and you’ll probably catch a tongue cramp! Even harder is pin pointing the style of the evening… neither just jazz nor soul, nor funk, house, broken, rare groove, hip hop nor electro: it’s all of the above! In any case, they’ll be something for everyone. Especially Brownswood Records fans, tonight, as mentioned, there will be Gilles Peterson in person. Read More

Who said there’s never any jazz on Awdio? The 8th of July at La Bellevilloise is an event based around jazz and soul, focusing on Giles Peterson’s label Brownswood Recordings. The performances are American crooner Jose James in quartet, and the Japanese phenomenon, Soil & Pimp Sessions. When we say crooner about Jose James, we mean it: suave, sensual, and sexy. Read more

This 28 year old New Yorker, discovered by Gilles Peterson, has thus far only produced one album (The Dreamer) in 2008, but his success has brought him to work on a new album to be produced in September of this year. Although part of a jazz label, one could debate the roots of his music: highly influenced by hip hop and black music, he brings a new soul to jazz. Alongside him is the Japanese combo, Soil & Pimp Sessions. Thanks to Gilles Peterson, these 6 crazy musicians have gained a certain celebrity in the jazz world. It’s a whole new style of music: Death Jazz, a totally unheard-of rock n roll jazz. Their two albums “Pimp Master” and “Planet Pimp” are huge in Japan, and are making their way as they collect fans in Europe! The evening continues with special guests Manu Boubli of Comet Records, and Jazzamar from Jazzmin Records bringing us broken beat, jazz, groove, and black music. All this is going live on Awdio.com at 20:00 on the 8th of July!
