‘Anything and everything is just the kind of playlist an inexperienced DJ can make a pigs’ ear out of, however silky the source material, but Pathaan has repeatedly shown how it’s done on the decks and on discs; this ‘SmallWorld’ [Stoned Asia Music] compilation is a gem, probably the finest globally inspired collection of the year’ Dave Swindells [Timeout]
‘Pathaan’s shrunk the world not the beats on this, his post Stoned Asia adventures. His net has been cast even further across the globe and the result is a very satisfying mix of downtempo beats and uplifting grooves. Managing to avoid the ‘new age’ pitfall, ‘SmallWorld’ really does capture something very special. CD1 comes loaded with ‘Discerning Blunts’ & CD2 ‘Uplifting Blunts’ is magic stuff. At last, world music without the ‘worldy’ tag. Bring on the global groove!’ Kate Wiseblood [DJ Magazine]
‘SmallWorld’ - released in 2002.
This is CD1 titled ‘Discerning Blunts’
