"In the world according to the majority of Western media, Pakistan might well be the scariest place on Earth, the real-life Mordor so to speak, a menace to all so-called free societies, and after all, the archetypical rogue state. Whenever Pakistan is mentioned in the news, the topics you almost unconsciously expect are those related to terrorism, drone operations, or nuclear weapons. Sure, there are reasons for that which can hardly be denied, yet during the last few years, a level of imbalance has been reached with the result that every story coming from Pakistan that does not deal with these things comes across as a surprise. Yet even “over there”, young people are breathing, eating, sleeping, and in between, making music."

Meet Pakistan’s DIY Generation
I love this because I love the genre(s) it features but even more so because it does a lovely, lovely roundup on indie/ambient music in Pakistan by Talha, Daniel from orangenoisepk, Asfandyar Khan, Mole, “Dalt Wisney”, Basheer and the Pied Pipers among other equally wonderful musicians. DO read. So, so proud.
