Summer is a season for positivity and exuberance, a time for sunshine, radiance, and optimism. With those hot summer days drawing to a close, Clash and Magnum Ice- Cream have united for Parlour Talks, a special video series that aims to give fans some extra flavour from their favourite artists.
In fact, that’s our Magnum Opus – a unique project powered by Magnum ice cream that revels in sensual utopia. Effervescent host Nella Rose needs no introduction, a joyous personality who recently graced the cover of Clash.
Her third guest in our Parlour Talks series is afro-pop trailblazer Tiwa Savage. The Nigerian artist broke the glass ceiling for women in afro-pop, helping to re-shape the form in the process. Pulling from R&B, pop, soul, and hip-hop, Tiwa has built an international reputation through her continued excellence.
A multi-faceted artist, she’s also gained acclaim as an actress, but music remains her first, and most abiding love. Nella Rose and Tiwa Savage sample Magnum Ice-Cream’s latest flavours, and things get a little spicy on-set with plenty of playful double entendres from this empowering femme double act.
Tiwa reveals a few secrets behind the making of her latest album ‘This One Is Personal’, spills the beans on working with UK icon Skepta, and unfurls a few lessons on how to find peace of mind.
“I’m very competitive,” Tiwa Savage reveals. “When you’ve gone through a lot… you have to go back into yourself.”
It was an honour to host Nella Rose and Tiwa Savage in conversation, closing our Parlour Talks series in style with a heartfelt celebration of the summer.

![Nabihah Iqbal Mix | CLASH x PioneerDJ For The Love Of It
London-born artist, curator, broadcaster and lecturer Nabihah Iqbal is next up in our series with Pioneer DJ…
Nabihah Iqbal is behind the decks for this month’s instalment of For The Love Of It, in association with Pioneer DJ. The London-born artist, curator, broadcaster and lecturer first tried production when she was a teenager, and picked up DJing shortly after. “The two go hand-in-hand I think,” she explains. “When I got into [production] more seriously, it was in tandem with DJing.”
With over a decade’s worth of experience under her belt, Iqbal released ‘DREAMER’, an album comprising her most reflective work to date, in April via Ninja Tune. Written in the aftermath of a studio burglary that included the loss of an already-in-progress LP, and a trip to Pakistan in light of a family emergency, she found herself reconnecting with her musical roots and going back to basics.
Iqbal recalls hearing Pakistani music via TV shows, radio and old films as a child. “That has had an impact on me especially in more recent times after studying ethnomusicology when I was at university and learning about musical cultures around the world,” she explains.
Having started her production journey crafting purely instrumental music, Nabihah moved past the apprehension she had integrating her own voice, thanks to encouragement from close friend and pioneering artist SOPHIE. “She taught me so much about how to record vocals, how to produce them and mix them,” says Iqbal. “I remember that time when we were in the studio together, I learned so much.”
‘DREAMER’ builds from all of the above. It’s a layered listen that draws upon her experiences utilising a blend of instruments - guitar, harmonium and sitar - electronic production, and her own vocals. “It feels like I’ve come a long way since the first record,” she says. “It feels like catharsis really, because it was so difficult for me to make that record, and there’s so much emotion and feeling and personal connection in that.”
To celebrate the release of ‘DREAMER’, Nabihah joined us at CLASH Studios to play an exclusive mix on our Pioneer’s CDJ3000’s and new DJM–A9 Mixer.
For The Love Of It, a joint venture between CLASH and Pioneer DJ, expands its reach by probing deeper into international club culture and cross-cultural connections, honing in on the ways these external influences impact personal development and production style.
For The Love Of It: Series 2 captures in-demand electronic acts crafting and performing sets in self-styled dominions. We document how their creativity has been informed by their foundations in different cultural settings, and how these artists reconcile and blend local sounds with around-the-globe influences. Ultimately, Series 2 is about the hybridity of music today, and the communal ties that tether artists to diverse subcultures. This fluidity in expression comes through in an exclusive mix created by each artist for the series.
