Mixes // DJ Sets

📻 From Lahore to London, did my debut mix on @ntsradio which includes music from friends, influences, and myself.

The manifestation of playing on NTS 1 happened spontaneously while attending the 'Bridging the Gap' workshop in Lahore — Nabihah Iqbal floated the idea of covering for her residency, and it only made sense to reconstruct my closing set for her debut DJ set in Pakistan last year at District 19, Karachi.

A bit different from her usual crate digging and ethnomusicologist perspective on music, yet it preserves the magic of the night we shared the stage for the first time,

NTS Radio | Haider Uppal (Closing Set for Nabihah Iqbal)

Nabihah Iqbal has announced a remix package for her critically acclaimed album, ‘DREAMER’, featuring some of her favourite musical contemporaries. The remix EP features tracks by Haider Uppal, Slowspin (ft. Zak Khan), SIDD and Sijya, all of whom Nabihah has performed alongside, making this release feel like another iteration of their collaborations. As well as the four remixes of tracks from DREAMER, the EP also features a bonus track courtesy of Berlin-based producer Frank Wiedemann, with his take on 'Zone 1 to 6000', the standout track from Nabihah's previous album 'Weighing of the Heart'. Each remix is steadfast and uncompromising with a distinct mode of expression - an electric display of each artist’s craftsmanship. 

The EP opens with Haider Uppal's remix of ‘Sky River’. With a slow, gradual build, the fiery tune erupts with shuffling drums and a propulsive beat. Uppal, an emerging multidisciplinary artist in electronic music, hailing from Lahore, Pakistan, whose music productions have already captured global attention, has created a remix which has an agile blend of house and bass, which would be at home at any nightclub around the world. 

On the task of remixing Sky River, Haider Uppal remarks, 'A dream house addition to a dreamer — this was the track I resonated most with when asked to remix; my goal was not to break Nabihah’s vision but rather to build upon the feeling of the original.'

Modulo, Haider Uppal - Violet Woods (Soela Remix)

Full recording of my closing set on @abracadabra TV Twitch after Mary Droppinz  – we had a magical 23rd bday bash together virtually. 🔮✨ The mix itself is meaningful, spontaneously built from music I've been collecting over years - since it was a post b-day celebration, ended up playing some timeless jams too. This opportunity was an amazing b-day gift from my homie @saqibmalik, and the legend herself @blondish 

Recorded using Allen & Heath Xone:92 & TRAKTOR X1.

"'Having briefly explored house and techno music during a stint in Detroit, Haider’s star is quickly rising as one of the most promising electronic music producers coming out of Pakistan.' @moodroomcollective

Haider’s approach to music is one of constant evolution and exploration with many musical facets ranging from dubby and textured to more spacious and groovy productions, focused on delivering intricate and deep experiences.

The young producer from Pakistan has connected with the world, as his original productions and collaborative works get released on record labels based in Canada, England, Germany and Portugal."

DREAMER (Remixes)

Sky River (Haider Uppal Remix)

While crate digging I stumbled upon this 💎 bollywood disco classic by chance, and felt like making an edit to play in my DJ sets (though I never inclined to remix my South Asian roots, but inspired by a dear friend it flowed).

@saqibmalik and I make a great team, as in the past, and we ended up funking it up together without breaking the authenticity of the 1987 production. Old is gold.

Putting this out on valentines as life really is a dance; hear it out and you could feel the same way. - 14/2/24

Haider Uppal - Less Vibrant

This mix is a testament to my versatility, exploring different shades of house music (and some breaks) while keeping the energy and flow in check.

The first hour is a live recording from a gig in my home city, Lahore. The energy from that night inspired me to expand the mix beyond a 3-hour journey featuring incredible music from friends, inspirations, and myself. It's a dive into expression of deep feels and sonic textures.

The biggest compliment came from chief YokoO, who called it a "nice journey and a great showcase of SATYA music." That means a lot.

To conclude this musical narrative, I chose an older remix of Glass Animals—a song that served as my gateway into the world of deep house. Playing it here is both an homage to my younger self who dared to dream and a celebration of ten transformative years immersed in the magic of music.

In The Grind - District 19

With a unique blend of influences, Haider's evolving sound spans melancholic dub-infused soundscapes to captivating grooves, with a focus on sonic maturity.

For over a decade, Haider has been diligently practicing the art of sound and technology, quietly building a significant body of original productions under his birth name. His consistent output has garnered global attention, leading to his recognition as one of the promising electronic music producers emerging from Pakistan - (with his most recent productions being played globally at places like Fusion Festival (DE), Soundscapes (Zanzibar) or by Romanian artists like Petre Inspirescu - aka RPR sound system.

Combining influences, and his experiences from vibrant city of Detroit's renowned techno and house music culture followed by a nostalgic feeling inspired by his South Asian roots + his experience DJing across Pakistan at curated shows alongside international acts over the years, Haider's music embodies and blends a captivating fusion of melancholic sounds. 

His body of work and efforts bridges the gap between the music scene in Pakistan and the Western electronic landscape, supported by groundbreaking artists in the past like Lee Burridge, Sasha, John Digweed and many others despite his geographic and cultural distances from techno hubs of the West. 

Haider’s exceptional skills have not gone unnoticed, with notable achievements including a recent remix release of Nabihah Iqbal on Ninja Tune, landing premieres and features on Mixmag London, working with Blondish’s Abracadabra imprint during COVID, or performing his first international DJ set at Jody Wisternoff’s (Anjunadeep) Detroit debut show. 

Multidisciplinary / Branding @satyarecs

DJ Mag(NA) feature [2024]:
"Drifting, emotive and more than a little dreamy — that’s the kind of house music you’ll find on ‘Graduated,’ the debut full-length from the Lahore, Pakistan–based producer Haider Uppal. It’s a beautiful and assured collection of tunes, the culmination of several years of original productions, collaborations, and remixes/edits for the likes of Nightmares On Wax, Powel and BLOND:ISH. Uppal’s musical career started as a teenager back home in Lahore, but ‘Graduated’ began to take shape while attending school in Michigan, where he soaked up the sounds of house and techno emanating from nearby Detroit.

You can hear faint echoes of the kind of music that Motor City artists like the late Mike Huckaby would make while in house mode — but Uppal’s music shares even more in common with the vaguely hallucinatory sound of artists like YokoO. (Perhaps that’s not a coincidence, as he helps to manage YokoO’s Satya label.) Next up for Uppal is a remix for Nabihah Iqbal on Ninja Tune — his future is looking good.”
