John Peel Wiki

Changes to the look of John Peel Wiki will take place in the near future due to a new skin being rolled out over Oct/Nov across Wikia. Please see the Wikia Staff Blog for further details. On this site, the changes will affect the navigation from the left menu, as well as introduce a fixed page width with narrower content space. Please be patient while adjustments are made for the switch to the new system.

UPDATE: As the change is now in force for some users, I have switched the navigation to the simplified one for the new system. Please check Navigation in the Help section if you can't find things. I also initially made small adjustments to the front page layout, but have now reverted to the old look until all users are on the new system.

COUNTDOWN: Just a reminder for people still using Monaco that the final switch to the new skin is due on Nov. 3. After that, it will no longer be offered as an option. Sorry. Nothing to do with me.

Gonzales

Jason Charles Beck (otherwise known as Gonzales, later changed to Chilly Gonzales) is a Canadian musician. Influenced by Frankie Goes To Hollywood in his teen years, Gonzales used to be a Berlin-based futuristic entertainer - he combined hip-hop, electro-funk, lounge and new-age goofiness to create his ironic and often surreal musical pastiches. He recorded two albums as part of rock/pop outfit Son - 'Thriller' and 'Wolfstein'. Nowadays he's living in Cologne, Germany, working as a producer and pianist.

Links to Peel[]

Gonzales' track Erotobot, was played by Peel on his 17 August 2000 show. There doesn't seem to be any further play from the musician on Peel's shows.

Ken Garner’s The Peel Sessions book misspelt 70s funk band Gonzalez as Gonzales.
