The first weekend of February was a big one for Ahad Elley, AKA Ahadadream. On the Friday, he was featured in Vogue India alongside other South Asian artists and crews currently lighting up UK dance music. 24 hours later, he launched a residency at London club Colour Factory, playing to a packed crowd who, during a brief power cut, chanted his name like adoring teenagers. 

To outsiders, this might feel like a story of overnight success, but Elley has been grafting away for years: DJing, producing, running a label (More Time), throwing parties (No ID) and, perhaps most importantly of all, co-founding the first edition of London festival Dialled In, which launched last September. As well as showcasing a wealth of South Asian talent, the event fostered a new community of ravers who, in Elley's words, "felt seen in a club space for the first time."

When he was younger, Elley shied away from centering his Pakistani heritage in his music. Today, it's a huge part of his identity, from the events he runs and the music he makes to the tunes he plays. But, as <i>RA</i> 825 shows, his DJ sets also go way beyond South Asia and London, spanning gqom, Egyptian percussion, Portuguese Afro house and classic Peverelist. This is Elley at peak time, the kind of thing you might hear at his next Colour Factory gig. "The idea was just to include tracks that bring me joy and make me move," he said. "I hope they do the same for you."

Oh Sahib OST   Abdullahpur ka Devdas

Ishq

Main aa likhu tu aa jaaye
Main baith likhu tu aa baithe
Mere shane par sar rakhe tu
Main neend kahu tu so jaye

Main aa likhu tu aa jaaye
Main baith likhu tu aa baithe
Mere saane par sar rakhe tu
Main neend kahu tu so jaaye

Chal aa ek aisi nazm kahun
Jo lafz kahun woh ho jaye
Main dil likhun tu dil thaame
Main gum likhun woh kho jaye

Main aah bharun tu haye kare
Bechain likhun bechain ho tu
Fir bechaini ka be kaatun
Tujhe chain zara sa ho jaye

Abhi ain likhu tu soche mujhe
Fir sheen likhu teri neend udey
Jab qaaf likhu tujhe kuch kuch ho
Main ishq likhu tujhe ho jaaye.

Main Ishq Likhon, Tujhe Hojaaye - Ishq - Faheem Abdullah

mein Ishq likhun tujhay ho jaye Ishq From Lost Found

New Afghan Mast Pashto Song May 2011 By Homayun Sahebzai - Yo Zala Ka Ta Wakhandal - YouTube.mp3

Th language like  it's people is so sweet. Being a minority in nature which belongs to the area very far north of Pakistan is another reason in it's undernourishment. I believe the poetry of my language is worth knowing and reading.
