  • Poster/Print + Digital Album

    Inspired by my family’s contribution to the field of architecture in Pakistan, I collaborated with AI artist Musfira to create dreamlike art pieces showcasing my Mughal heritage; inspiration around that led to making this music as a testament to myself to look back on as a marker of the moment I opted for an alternative career path (music) instead of building a career within the field of engineering and computer science.

about

With a distinct blend of influences, Haider's evolutionary sound journey spans melancholic dub-infused soundscapes and captivating grooves.

The long play 'Graduated' was written during Haider's time in his Michigan dorm and Lahore home studio during a period when he was enrolled as a student before and after COVID-19.

It showcases his evolution as a music producer, with each track delivering a unique and autobiographical listening experience.

"Being pushed by my younger brother, mentors, friends and family to share my art with larger audiences, this self-release album has allowed me to curate my past sonic vision confidently, in the most authentic sense.

The mood floats around various shades of deep / house music. It showcases a journey of self exploration through a variety of sounds I resonate with.

In essence, this was a necessary step for me to move forward today, parting ways with music that I felt deserved to be available to the public since its creation.
