GILLES PETERSON - HIP HOP FOREVER - THE 80s (320kbs-m4a/322mb/2hrs20mins)
BBC Radio 6 Music broadcast: 22nd July 2023

Gilles Peterson presents the alternative sound of Hip Hop. This week it is the 80s, and a focus on the highly influential electro sound. Gilles is Diggin' In The Archives with ESG, plus words from Bill Laswell telling the story of Herbie Hancock's 'Rockit' and Morgan Khan on the seminal Street Sounds 'Electro' compilations.

Plus! Gilles chats to perhaps the most sampled jazz artist of all time, Bob James. And this week's Album Of The Decade is Public Enemy's 'It Takes A Nation Of Millions To Hold Us Back', with words from Dave Pearce, Betty Boo and Bomb Squad founder Keith Shocklee.
