Representing two global creative hubs in terms of underground music, Gilles Peterson flew from London to LA, to speak with a few key players in the LA music scene, to hear what is hot right now in the city and to discuss the special relationship the two cities have, and so LONLAX FM was born! 

Gilles catches up with KCRW DJ Jeremy Sole and event promoter/Innovative Leisure label boss Jamie Strong to talk about their current projects and what role their city plays in their creativity. All this talk is of course surrounded by an exquisite selection of tracks from some of Gilles' favourite London and LA artists, from Swindle and London Grammar through to Seven Davis Jr, Flying Lotus and Kendrick Lamar.  

“What Gilles doesn’t know about music probably isn’t worth knowing. He’s hugely prolific on both the London and LA music scene. He’s recognised for discovering the best up-and-coming music from both sides of the pond. And through the radio show, LON/LAX fm, which Gilles has created for Business Premier, he’ll share his latest musical discoveries with you.”
