Janelle Monae

Joining the musical dots - soul, hip-hop, house, Afro, Latin, dubstep, jazz and beyond.

Gilles gets through loads of wicked new music tonight from the likes of Distal, Wiley & MJ Cole, Gaslamp Killer, Foreign Exchange, Mosca, Henrik Schwarz and a cheeky remix from dOP.

There's a few exclusives including John Legend & The Roots, Polar Bear & Jyager, and a great upfront remix from Dimitri From Paris.

We also have words and music from rising superstar Janelle Monae - she speaks about the inspiration for her music and film.
