This one felt special.
Last Thursday I had the privilege of moderating *Fragile Formats* with for — a listening session built around her archive of 45s tracing Pakistani music through the 60s and 70s and beyond.
What made it so special was how much ground we covered. Distribution, sampling, cultural identity, politics, etc. All of it surfacing through these small, fragile records. Conversations like this remind me why I fell in love with music in the first place. Not just the sounds, but everything underneath them.
Taking on the moderator role was a fun challenge and felt like a natural extension of the work I’ve been doing with . Getting to do that live, in a room full of people who care, was something I won’t forget. Shoutout to for having me!
And honestly, just getting to know Natasha through this process was its own gift. Such a brilliant person and so generous with her knowledge and her time.
