📻 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,

Party-Starter, Eclectic Selections. 

"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 Haider Uppal. It’s a beautiful and assured collection of tunes, the culmination of several years of original productions, collaborations, and remixes 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.) Latest from Haider Uppal is a remix for Nabihah Iqbal on Ninja Tune — his future is looking good." – @djmag
