BBC Radio 6 Music - Gilles Peterson, Shabazz Palaces in session

Gilles has a session from Seattle-based experimental hip-hop collective Shabazz Palaces.

Gilles is joined by Seattle-based experimental hip-hop collective Shabazz Palaces, who perform a selection of tracks featuring music from their new album, Lese Majesty.

Gilles is back in the studio for another Saturday afternoon mix up selection, joining the musical dots between soul, hip hop, house, afro, electronica, jazz and beyond, in his own inimitable style.

This week he is joined by Seattle-based experimental hip-hop group Shabazz Palaces who perform a selection of tracks, including music from their new album Lese Majesty.

The group is lead by Ishmael Butler, originally of the jazz/hip hop group Digable Planets, who released their debut album Reachin' (A New Refutation of Time and Space) in 1993. Fast forward nearly two decades and Butler releases the Shabazz Palaces' universally acclaimed label debut Black Up in 2011.

The collective have had support across 6 Music from Gilles and Lauren Laverne, for who they did a session for a when their last album arrived.
