In Ladakh’s Balti-speaking villages, songs once carried across mountains by memory and radio are now surviving through weddings, smartphones and a younger generation trying to preserve a culture divided by borders. Sajad Hameed and Rehan Qayoom Mir speak to those keeping them alive Singers from Ladakh including Gulzar Hussain and Zahra Banoo In late May, the apricot trees around Kargil begin flowering after months of snow. Streams reopen through the valleys, roads fill with dust and meltwater and in Balti-speaking villages wedding celebrations continue long into the evening. Inside a crowded gathering in one such village, Hardas, older men sit shoulder-to-shoulder singing folk verses from memory while younger boys quietly record the performance on their phones. A harmonium rests against the wall beside... The post Songs Across the Line of Control: How Balti Music Survives in Ladakh appeared first on The Quietus .

Blodfet & DJ Lonely – Titanium Hip Replacement Disco
Blodfet & DJ Lonely Titanium Hip Replacement Disco A wonderfully odd collection of electronic experiments from Swedish-born visual artist Jonas Ohlsson Titanium Hip Replacement Disco by Blodfet & DJ Lonely Titanium Hip Replacement Disco is an often enjoyable record, though very ‘artsy’, as my Lancashire grandmother would say with a dismissive nod before she headed off for the whist drive.

This, his new release, seems to posit some of the conceits and practices of the European art world, including a comfortably scruffy life on the margins. It was recorded at Ohlsson’s home in De Bijlmer in Amsterdam, a 60s modernist... The post Blodfet & DJ Lonely – Titanium Hip Replacement Disco appeared first on The Quietus .

Ela Minus and Nick León – Qué les pasó a mis amigos?
Ela Minus and Nick León Qué les pasó a mis amigos? Ela Minus and Nick León test-drive their newfound chemistry on three shape-shifting excursions into introspective club music qué les pasó a mis amigos? by Ela Minus and Nick León On ‘QQQQ’, a standout from Ela Minus’ 2025 sophomore album DÍA, she sings, “If it’s going to be like this, let the world end… if we are going to let go, I prefer that it ends here.” It’s a sentiment almost custom-built for Nick León’s dystopian club music.
