Bye bye for now, Pathaan & Nerm

Last weekend, the very last shows of Electro East by DJ Nerm (Shiva Soundsystem) and DJ Pathaan‘s Musical Rickshaw were broadcasted on the British radio station BBC Asian Network. Nerm celebrated 109 tracks in the mix from four years of Electro East within two hours: a small review on Drum’n'Bass, Electro Breaks & Dubstep from the Alternative Underground. Also, Pathaan brought beautiful classics between Global Beats, Eclectic Grooves & Asian Chill. Both have always supported artists from the Global and Asian electronic scene in their shows. Let us hope that we will hear from them in the future wherever again!

By the way, you can listen to both shows for a week since their air date:

• Electro East @ BBC Asian Network
• Pathaan’s Musical Rickshaw @ BBC Asian Network

Both shows got canned before the BBC plans were published to close BBC Asian Networks. According to Nerm, his show was always regarded as a  “black sheep”: Electro East was clearly a black sheep. The family didn’t understand it, and then dis-owned it. Sadly.
