Nabihah Iqbal

London-based songwriter, DJ, and ethnomusicologist Nabihah Iqbal makes left-field dance music as well as dreamy indie pop. She originally produced abstract pop and deep house using the moniker Throwing Shade before reverting to her given name in 2017 and releasing her post-punk-influenced debut full-length, Weighing of the Heart. A studio burglary forced her to abandon an album she was in the process of recording, but she returned in 2023 with Dreamer, which switched between blissful dance and meditative ambient pop.
