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.

What a fantastic set, attention to every record. Worldwide tracklist!
True DJ masterpiece with a minimum of technique tricks and a maximum of content exploration. Had the pleasure one day to have a mohito with you, master! Please, keep spinning!
@crybo
Been listening to Gilles for over 20 years now! My absolute favourite DJ. Never disappoints. So many great nights at the SubClub over the years dancing all night to his unbelievable record collection. Still have loads of minidiscs of his old Radio 1 show.
@kanchanrana5330
I feel you! Grew up listening to Gilles in radio 1 haha so thankful the way he shaped my music listening journey :))
@kemalnamli1
Finally a Boiler room set that has freshness and eclectic approach rather than dan dan dan boom boom boom viciv viciv viciv… Gilles the king!
