In a quiet corner of Karachi, where the digital noise fades, one man keeps the soul of analog music alive. Muhammad Hussain, a passionate collector and keeper of rare vinyl records, runs what feels less like a shop and more like a time capsule.
In this journey, Nukta’s Sibte Hassan steps into his world but not before asking today's generation what’s playing on their playlists. From Arijit Singh to Lo-fi beats, the answers reflect our fast-paced, auto-play culture. And then, comes the rewind.
Inside Hussain’s vinyl library, each record holds dust, memory, and magic. A visiting classical dancer from the U.S. looks for something real — a sound that breathes. Through the hiss of the needle and the rhythm of time, this story isn’t just about music. It’s about emotion, attention, and the beauty of slowing down.
Because sometimes, to feel the music, you have to pause and play it the old way.
