Haider, an emerging young talent from Pakistan tries to carve a niche for himself within the Deep House & House spheres over the past decade. Hailing from Lahore and having studied in Michigan, Haider was profoundly influenced by the rich House and Techno sounds of Detroit. His journey as a dedicated and passionate craftsman has led him to bridge the gap between his native music scene and the broader Western landscape, undeterred by the geographic and cultural distances from techno hubs of the West. Weak Sleep, Haider Uppal's debut EP on the Berlin-based label Nie Wieder Schlafen, showcases his unique musical vision through three original tracks and four remixes. The originals are imbued with a fluid and nostalgic sound, characterized by textured ambiences and groovy elements that evoke a calm and warm atmosphere. Each track builds a gentle tension that unfolds with a patient, forward-moving energy for the softer dancefloors, underlined by sound reinforcing as well as sound overturning remixes from the likes of Pablo Bolivar, Soela, Thomas Stieler and the label's own Quatri. This collection is a testament to Haider's artistic journey, capturing a moment in time that is unlikely to be replicated as he continues to evolve and explore new soundscapes, telling his narrative of perseverance, cultural fusion, and the universal language of rhythm and melody.
