Mistral Productions just got back from live streaming the Worldwide Festival's main stage at the incredibly picturesque St Christ lighthouse in Sete, France, last week. Streaming worldwide via satellite using Mixlr, embedded into www.gillespetersonworldwide.com, there were some amazing sets throughout the weekend, with highlights including live performances from Go Go Penguin, Trialogue and Tirzah, and DJ sets from Louie Vega, Lefto, Oneman and Funkineven.
For those of you who missed the fun, here are some pictures taken during the events from Thursday to Sunday, and used to promote the stream on social media as it was broadcasting live.
We're expanding our streaming services in coming months, so get in touch if this is an area you're interested in hearing more about.
This month, Gilles Peterson returns to British Airway's in-flight Highlife Entertainment offering, with a brand new monthly Worldwide Mixtape radio show produced in-house by Mistral Productions.
With label and artist showcases, as well as the 'Don't Sleep' feature shining a light on under-rated artists from around the world, travellers on BA can now enjoy their own bespoke show hosted by Gilles, featuring the finest music from around the globe.

To celebrate Gilles' return, British Airways featured him on the 60 Second Interview of this month's Highlife magazine (see below).
Famed avant-garde trumpeter Jon Hassell came by the Brownswood Basement yesterday for an interview with Gilles, discussed his days in New York with David Byrne and Brian Eno, his move over to Los Angeles, his views on sampling and style templates, and being taught by Karlheinz Stockhausen.
The interview is to come soon, but in the meantime, here are some photos from his visit.
At the end of last month, Cuban singer Dayme Arocena performed a sold-out show in the beautiful and intimate setting of St Pancras Old Church. Mistral Productions filmed the event for Havana Cultura, and the first of three performances was premiere'ed today, with the Afropop Worldwide blog.
