Click to get the Gilles Peterson In the House Player This triple CD selection is based on over two decades of deep DJ experiences. The impact of seeing jazz dancer, Michael Knot of IDJ, dancing to ‘Acid Trax’ by Phuture, in the back room of a pub in Teddington, produced one of those seminal moments that, Gilles maintains, radically changed his view of acid house. For his take on the contemporary house scene you simply need to touch down on Disc 1. It’s soulful and upfront and collects together a wickedly eclectic selection he’s picked up on his worldwide travels. There’s Mario Vidis, Phil Asher (Phlash & friends) and ''a really big tune by Simbad feat. Abdul Shylion called ’Supersonic Revelation’'' Tone 7’s ‘Dubdub 2’ is kind of tribal meets Ame while Blaze’s ‘Wishing You Were Here’ brings back good memories of listening to Louie Vega in New York City and of those afternoon sessions at Body & Soul,” he says. And of those ''nice, thumping. Techy tunes” he simply adds. ''I like to go there.'' It is important to say that this is certainly not a club album as some of the predecessors in this series have been. CD2 has other Peterson gems included, showing the true broadness of his musical tastes. His soul boy and disco sides show up with inclusions of such records like Earth, Wind & Fire ‘Let Your Feelings Show’ and A Taste Of Honey ‘Boogie Oogie Oogie’ where he never stops waxing lyrical about how good the live drum production is (a record that pre-dates drum machines). CD 3 is a very special bonus. This CD contains a selection of exclusive unmixed tracks specially commissioned by Gilles by some of his closest contemporaries. Artists in this selection include tracks by DJ Sneak, Karizma, Switch and Carl Craig.
