Gilles Peterson Worldwide - World Cup 2010 Edition

Nelson Mandela Bay Stadium - Port Elizabeth, South Africa

One of my all time favorite djs - Gilles Peterson, has a show on BBC Radio1 called Worldwide. He's a huge football fan and came up with the brilliant idea of doing a show with a World Cup theme. It's a creative soundclash that matches up music from 32 different countries based on the preliminary stages of FIFA's official bracket. Two parts, two hours, 32 teams, and 32 tracks to represent each team/country.
