FCCM Pakistan pulled the Ministry of Sound and Sander Kleinenberg into Lahore. There's a lot more footage coming, but I thought this moment dancing on stage behind him was just epic.

Natasha Ejaz is an artist who recently made headlines in Pakistan for her voice on the track “Jahaan”, from the project “It Might Get Glitchy”, that is engineered and produced by Rishabh Rajan.

From the biography on the YouTube page, Rishbash is “a Music Production lecturer at ICOM, is a graduate of Berklee College of Music, with a Major in Film Scoring. He has written music for a few independent films while working in Los Angeles, many of which played in the local festival circuits. As a film composer he specializes in writing electronic, orchestral and ethnic music. He has also worked for various sound library companies as a content developer and is now developing his own sample libraries.”

This is a parody! I know I’m going nuts, but there’s quite a while left before I’m at this stage. But yeah, uhh…I’m weird.
