Electroclash indie warrior Peaches shares her musical milestones with Matt Everitt, with the art-pop pioneer revealing the joy of meeting Iggy Pop, the song the Peaches moniker came from, and how she might owe everything to a Canadian sound engineer who might not know the role she played in Peaches' life!

PEACHES - 6 MUSIC FESTIVE TAKEOVER 27.12.22 (320kbs-m4a/253mb/1hr50mins)
BBC Radio 6 Music broadcast: 27th December 2022
Feminist icon and pop provocateur Peaches takes over the 6 Music airwaves playing a selection of her favourite new discoveries, some familiar favourites and her musical influences. Plus she looks back on 2022 and reflects on finally playing the delayed 20th anniversary tour of her seminal album 'Teaches Of Peaches'.
Peaches has spent two decades pushing boundaries and wielding immeasurable influence over mainstream pop culture from outside of its confines, carving a bold, sexually progressive path in her own image that's opened the door for countless others to follow.
She's collaborated with everyone from Iggy Pop and Daft Punk to Kim Gordon and Major Lazer, had her music featured in cultural watermarks like Lost In Translation, The Handmaid's Tale, and Broad City, and seen her work studied at universities around the world.
Dubbed a "genuine heroine" by the New York Times, Peaches has released five critically acclaimed studio albums blending electronic music, hip-hop, and punk rock while tackling gender politics, sexual identity, ageism, and the patriarchy.
