World Peace Mix

As another 6.5 Earthjolt hits Japan this morning over breakfast and a blogpost, it's a good time to let you know about an old cohort of mine who has just dropped an Xclusive mix from back in 2002 on GenBass. I first meet Pathaan when he used to come into my record shop and bug me silly for new tunes with his unmistakable signature of world globetronic sounds that set off a very dear friendship with him. Together we started a club night AUDIO SUTRA @ the famous central LDN cavern called Bar Rhumba in the late '90's, with such legends of the dance music scene as Pressure Drop, Howie B, Paul Daley (leftfield), Tsuyoshi Suzuki & record shop co-founder Pete Herbert.

Pathaan says about the mix;

I’m not a politician but am human and sickened by the current world affairs.......... During a time of religious conflict, war, oppression, famine and racism etc etc, can music change & influence man ? I BELIEVE IT CAN !!! So here begins a story I feel I must share and a mix for you to download. Just under a decade ago, as a mark of respect and to acknowledge in my own way the 1st anniversary of 9/11, this was a 'Stoned Asia Music' priority release in Sept' 2002 that was never released in this form. The reason being, a few of the distributors felt nervous about the tracklisting especially the 1st track and the point I was trying to make through the music !!

So sit back and allow me to take you, ‘back to the future’ on one of my musical voyages around the globe – From September 2002, 15 EXCLUSIVE & HARD TO FIND tranquil productions from artists around the globe....Smiles & Hugs !!! Pathaan x

Fresh beatz from the Jungle/D&B/house maverick the man Rupert Parks AKA Photek. One of the most respected producers for his highly complex drum patterns, sequenced double bass lines and sophisticated sense for combining abstract sounds with jazz and classic techno influences that just keeps you begging for more...Now settled in LA, where he's scoring numerous soundtrack projects for major feature films, he's now back to the dancefloor with "The Avalanche EP" released last week on his own label Photek productions. Check out his recent interview with Red Ball Music Academy & his brilliant Influences Mix for FACT mag.....Essential!

And remember this from back in the day, '94 to be precise lifted from The Metalheadz 12" "Natural Born Killa EP", I used to drop a lot of D&B at 33⅓/half speed back then as the use of the amen break would lead to some propa break bizniz, but this used to be pitched right down for extra drum fest funkiness...Enjoy!
