Throwing Shade is the nom de plume of London producer Nabihah Iqbal. As she explains below, her musical education started with seeing a Michael Jackson documentary at a surprisingly young age, and the learning's never stopped: she studied ethnomusicology at university, went on to become known for her globetrotting sets on London internet station NTS Radio, and releases records on taste-making local label, No Pain In Pop. For her FADER Mix, she's flipped the script, delivering a stellar mixtape of Throwing Shade productions so we can get to know her a lil better, too. It's really something, showcasing her ear for beguiling audio artifacts and her skill in sonic storytelling. Not to mention, she's a hella good DJ.
