Gilles Peterson presents International Anthem is a double-LP-length compilation of tracks from Chicago-born record label International Anthem curated by legendary London-based radio host, DJ, label head, and cultural impresario Gilles Peterson.
The twenty-nine tracks on this compilation chronicle Peterson’s long-standing affinity for and connection to International Anthem’s expansive creative music community, and were chosen by an extensive review of playlists from his broadcasts on BBC 6 Music, Worldwide FM, and various syndicated radio programs.
The compilation includes a previously unreleased track recorded by Ibelisse Guardia Ferragutti & Frank Rosaly at Peterson’s Brownswood Basement studio in London. It also includes several unreleased introductions from a January 2020 Worldwide FM broadcast at Chicago’s Co-Prosperity (also the site of the album cover photo, taken by Carolina Sanchez), where Peterson gave International Anthem “Label of the Year” honors, as part of his 2020 Worldwide Awards.
