Haseeb Iqbal has become a key driver in London’s DIY music scene, creating a refreshing space for alternative stories and sounds via his insightful weekly radio show as well as his consistently cutting-edge monthly club nights in Deptford, Studio Crumb, which have been heralded for their strictly vinyl eclectic brilliance.
His unfiltered enthusiasm for music combined with his impressively deep-rooted knowledge of the history that surrounds it has uniquely positioned him as a connector of lost dots, bridging the gap between sounds, cultures and movements.
Iqbal’s first book, Noting Voices: Contemplating London’s Culture, was published on Rough Trade Books and spotlighted as one of the most crucial pieces of cultural commentary on space and community in the last decade. He has written for The Guardian, Mixmag, DJ Mag and more. His words, music and thoughts have been profiled by various platforms such as Crack Magazine, The Fader and BBC Radio London and he has also featured in the campaigns of Vogue, Fred Perry and Clark’s.
