Peel first discovered Norberto's project, Bad Boy Orchestra, in 1987 and explained in Peeling Back The Years, how he discovered the artist:
"Well, somebody turned up in the office the other evening who had been involved in some quiz programme with Peter Powell, I think, and he had just come back from New York and had brought me a record by some people called the Bad Boys Orchestra. And it is kind of Latin house / hip-hop – exactly how you define it, I don’t know. I think funnily enough there was a piece in the NME about this a few weeks ago but I’d not heard any of it before. And although as I say, it’s not the most radical thing in the whole world, it is something I had not heard before."
He would play further tracks from the Bad Boy Orchestra and also played another of Norbetto Lotto's project called the Rio Deal in 1999. After Peel's death in 2004, it was later found out that he had a copy of Bad Boy Orchestra's album, Still Buggin', in his Record Collection: B.
