GILLES PETERSON | ALEX STEVENSON – BROWNSWOOD ELECTR*C PODCAST

Yo Gilles… if you are reading this… you’re the fuckin man! Seriously… Gilles knows his schitt! I always appreciate the love he showed to Dilla (B.C. & A.D.) as well as exposing the masses to the freshness that we basically built Blind I off of. If Gilles plays your schitt… then you doing something right! I’m still listening to this mix as I create this & so far have been pleasantly surprised to find homies on here such as Devonwho & Low Limit of Lazer Sword. Joined alongside fellow Electr*c collaborator, Alex Stevenson this podcast is a reflection & taste of their Brownswood Electr*c album which was just released. Be sure you add that to your library [click me to do just that now].
