A UK-based collective rooted in Gillingham, Kent, known for its eclectic blend of dub, funk, and reggae influences. The group began as a year-long project in September 2009, described as "sprinkling twee reggae over bouncy funk rhythms". The group has been involved in initiatives like Worx, a music project that brought together bands from Maidstone, Lille, Brussels and Gillingham, supported by various cultural organizations. This initiative underscores Small World's dedication to fostering international musical collaborations and community engagement.

SINGLE: Dreaming

UPC: 7300346384028 Release date: 17 Oct 2025 © 2025 Small World ℗ 2025 Herbert Records

 

These tracks give two complementary faces of Small World’s sound: one introspective and ambient, the other forward-driving and optimistic. Together they provide light and shadow, waiting and motion, an invitation not so much a commercial flex as a personal statement.

 

Emotionally compelling, artistically consistent, and tactfully produced, it may not be the kind of release to dominate radio charts, but it’s one that rewards attentive listening. A subtle, cohesive pairing that rewards repeat late-night listens.​
