Worldwide

The Matterhorn presents Gilles Peterson Worldwide

Gilles began broadcasting his Radio One Worldwide show in 1998. It's a title that refers as much to having an open attitude to musical genres as it does to geography and the globalisation of musical influences.

As well as enjoying a huge following in the UK, Worldwide is broadcast to countries as far afield as Japan, Istanbul, Belgrade, Nigeria and across most of Eastern and Western Europe. Peterson's ability to move and change with the times has continued to earn him respect.

He has long been respected by hip hop and drum n bass artists, while the new breed of garage and house acts cite him as a major influence. Tune in 6-8pm on Radio Active 89FM
