Through his labels Acid Jazz and Talkin' Loud he has been associated with the careers of countless well-known artists of the 1990s.
He is also well known as a radio DJ: starting out in pirate radio in the early eighties Gilles worked on a number of stations including Solar, and hosted jazz oriented weekend sessions at Camber Sands, and club nights at Soho's Whisky a GoGo. He found a slot on Radio London following Jazz DJ Brian Priestly and built up his name and career in London on Radio and by hosting the now legendary Talking Loud & Saying Something sessions at Camdens Dingwalls Club. He moved onto to have a radio show on London's Kiss FM dance music station, but was recruited to the BBC's youth-oriented Radio 1 in 1998. Peterson is known for his eclectic musical selections. Though not as "anything goes" as the late John Peel, he plays anything from dub and reggae through jazz, nu-jazz, soul, neo soul, R&B to drum and bass, house, broken beat, hip-hop and Jazz-funk.
He has released numerous compilations of his favourite tracks over the years reflecting his wide ranging interests including the varied but soulful 'INCredible Sound of Gilles Peterson' and the African funking 'Gilles Peterson in Africa' going back to early Talking Loud compliations of Acid and Latin Jazz.

[Verse 1: Q-Tip]
Can you picture how a melody gets thought into existence?
Rhythm section hits it and upholds it with persistence
Picturing the outline and you start to see the colours
Filling in with intricate splashes by all the brothers
Michelle is on the joint you mean Ms. Ndege Ochello?
No wonder why the hump inside the joint is feeling ghetto
A medal or award should be giving to these heroes for their
Emphasis on revealing and bringing forth the feeling
I'm realing, poetic I say, a great proportion
I hold my little nuances correct for this distortion
But I say why say? and who is to say, cause
Roy makes the tune what it is today
Rhythmically we're in this lake of genes know what I mean?
Its only right that me and Mr Wright we here from Queens
The overtone of funk is being driven by this music
It's the benevolence of Roy issued me this jurisprudence
This beat, or rhymes put it in then determine
I'm just a humble little germ just a hipper version
Poetic I mean truly indeed her every seed
Just sprinkles with the essence of life to form my breed
Think about it sweetie while we give this to the needy
The musical expression is important for progression
Never stop learning lesson, and neither should y'all
Before we all stand must acknowledge the fall
Before we get the bounce we got to reach for the ball
Before the ghetto stroll we had to get to a crawl
Check it out now, and don't you dare
Bobby Timmons did a joint called "Date Dere"
Check it out now, and do your do
Ronnie Foster did a joint called "Mystic Brew"
Check it out now, it's how we go
Check it out with my man Roy Hargrove
[Verse 2: Erykah Badu]
Hey
Good evening ladies and gentlemen
And welcome to the Appletree Café
We've got Roy Hargrove on stage
I dunno, I got my man Q-Tip
Coming in from Dallas Texas
I dont know how come god doubted you
She's, she will be, remembered, completely
Blast the staff furniture, so
Zip dip dah zip dip dah
[Bridge x2]
Who knows the way to go?
Please show me the way to go
Who knows the way to go?
Please show me the way to go
I know the way to go
I'll show you the way to go
I know the way to go
I'll show you the way to go
[Verse 3: Erykah Badu]
Brother's lost, my head is running veins
Where to go, and where is God?
Sometimes I get real mad, but I understand
I don't beat myself up too much about it
I give us tears, does he mourn for it?
Or joy in return? Those tears bring joy
That is what perplexes, make the sweetness last
Cause we're mourning for the joy, our hearts to find
Be happy when you can, no sadness necessary
No, no, it seems sometimes, you never get in bed
But it's okay, its fair yeah
Nowhere to look, you got mysteries
Use the stars as a guide, trying not to hide
The love inside, you know if you get, you get
I feel, I'm not ready yet, but I meet myself halfway
And I'll start a day, creating what I'm living
Living for today, cause I'm okay, it's okay
[Bridge x2]
