This mid-rave feeling of being utterly present, devoid of any sense of time, place, or ego, is difficult to capture in a strictly representational art form. Documenting the rave is a tricky process. Raves are seen as one of the few places left untouched by big corporations, that often don't want to be named or publicized. Here, I give a voice to those who shape and sustain this scene, to delve deeper into the Montreal rave culture and unpack the complex dynamics of power, along with issues of identity, gender, race, and ethics that riddle a community that comes to life at dusk.

Ep.7 - Nabiha Iqbal

Once known as Throwing Shade, Nabihah Iqbal has forged a reputation as an electronic musician, DJ and in-demand collaborator, working with visual artists such as Wolfgang Tillmans and curating this year’s multidisciplinary Brighton festival.

Deprived of her studio equipment after a burglary, followed by a family emergency in Pakistan in early 2020, Iqbal grew the sounds of 'Dreamer' more organically, working initially on harmonium and acoustic guitar.

As her North America tour comes to an end, I spoke with Nabihah about her approach to playing, making, and recording music and the mesmerizing sounds of her motherland, Pakistan.

Xx,

Elena
