Ravin Born on the island of Mauritius, Ravin was educated in the Hindu tradition, and then taken by his Indian parents to Jaipur in Rajastan where he would spend most his youth. As a teenager, Ravin came to Paris where he began working in a record company selecting vinyl compilations. He started DJing and creating his masterpiece albums as Buddha Bar 3, Buddha Bar Amnesty International and Siddharta vol 1. The second Siddharta is possibly Ravin's best collection yet, redefining the purpose of a Lounge album. This time he went about the project in a different way, only accepting "submissions" from a wide circle of artists, and then choosing the 150 minute mix from those tracks. 14 previously unreleased . Disc 1, AWAKENING, is sleek, pure and modern, starting meditative and downbeat but building to an itchy groove with dub, samba and Bollywood beats. Disc 2, EUPHORIA, is more upbeat and electronic than his previous mixes, with Ravin wishing to create an exotic "whirling dirvish" atmosphere to uplift the listener into a dizzy groove to climax in a euphoric fury. These tracks have an African and bluesy flavour to them too.
