Today International Anthem announces the digital release (June 17th) and forthcoming LP/CD release (July 11th) of Gilles Peterson presents International Anthem, a double-LP-length compilation of tracks from the Chicago-born record label curated by legendary London-based radio host, DJ, label head, and cultural impresario Gilles Peterson. Stream the digital album, and preorder the album on 2xLP or CD here. The twenty-nine tracks on Gilles Peterson presents International Anthem 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 (the site of the album cover photo, taken by Carolina Sanchez), where Peterson gave International Anthem “Label of the Year” as part of his 2020 Worldwide Awards.

In his liner notes for the album, Peterson says:
“From the get go I could see it. I could see that International Anthem was the real deal. I could hear it too - more importantly. A record label with the vision and care that places it in the pantheon of labels where you can pick up any release without knowing what it is and be certain the quality will be there… International Anthem is more than a record label though. It’s a community that is built on the city’s history but has, over the years, championed the spirit of creative music and pushed it forward with an outlook that reaches out to like minded souls regardless of time and space. Throughout the 10 years of their existence we have crossed paths many times. From being in Chicago to celebrate them as label of the year in January 2020 just before the world shut down, to hanging with the crew in London, to playing so much of the label’s output on both on my radio shows and in my DJ sets. So it is my pleasure to honour our friendship with a selection of tracks that have soundtracked the journey, so far…”
Gilles Peterson presents International Anthem is released via International Anthem as part of their IA11 series of releases and events, celebrating the label’s eleventh year of operation.
Gilles Peterson presents International Anthem is out digitally today and out on 2xLP & CD July 11, listen to and preorder it here.
