Making a stunning label debut, Mumbai-based producer Nawed Khan, known by his stage name Browncoat, lands on Purified Records with Home.
Entering a poignant dimension with undulating sounds and hypnotic vocals, Home explores different textures across its arrangement to achieve a deep and diverse soundscape. Finding perfect harmony, the instrumentals and vocals work hand in hand to touch the listener deeply and leave a lasting impression.
Speaking about the release, Nawed explained,
“Home started off with me wanting to create something special using that beautiful bamboo flute sample. It was only after finishing the entire track as an instrumental that I found the perfect vocal Home that created this seamless blend. I am looking forward to this new venture of me trying to incorporate the beautiful aspects of Indian music with the most eclectic and modern electronic sounds.”

The Home artwork displays an image of a zebra shark, captured by Daniel Nicholson. The zebra shark, or Stegostoma fasciatum, is a carpet shark found in the Indo-Pacific region. Initially recognized by distinctive zebra-like stripes in their juvenile stage, these markings fade as they mature. Adult zebra sharks grow up to 8.2 feet and inhabit coral reefs, sandy flats, and shallow coastal waters. They are nocturnal hunters, using powerful jaws to feed on crustaceans and small fish. They are listed as vulnerable according to the IUCN, facing threats like habitat loss and overfishing.
