The first record we ever sent anyone (the only copy that was anywhere worldwide) incredibly landed on Gilles Peterson’s BBC show. Friends at Love Vinyl in London were playing the sample we’d sent them one afternoon in the shop when the legendary BBC DJ stopped in… it had it’s radio premiere on his Worldwide Winners show the following day. Listen to Gilles Peterson’s BBC Radio show here.
