  • LA party The Lift will host Gilles Peterson and Tim Sweeney at the Globe Theater on December 5th. The show is being billed as a "Forward Frequencies Edition," the idea being to focus on selectors who have made an impact over the radio airwaves. Peterson, of course, is a longtime BBC Radio Six DJ with a consistent knack for digging up jazzy, soulful grooves and exposing new artists of a similar remit. RA's Stephen Titmus had Peterson walk him through some personal classics for a Playing Favorites feature last year. Tim Sweeney's Tuesday night WNYU/web broadcast Beats In Space turned 15 last year. During that time, Sweeney started a label of the same name and has grown increasingly busy as a touring DJ. In conjunction with last year's anniversary celebration, RA talked to Sweeney about his life in radio. Check out that feature here.
