After months of anticipation following its premiere during Nora En Pure’s landmark Purified 500 stream from South Africa, Dutch artist Tim van Werd makes his Purified Records debut with ‘Good As You Are’, featuring ADRI.
As the final ID from the milestone performance to receive its official release, the track completes the musical picture of a moment that has continued to resonate throughout the Purified community.
Built around ADRI’s emotionally direct vocal performance, ‘Good As You Are’ pairs gentle instrumentation with progressive synth work and a gradual melodic rise, creating a record that paints a timeless sonic picture and leaves a lasting impression.
Speaking about the release, Tim van Werd mentioned:
''From the studio to the mountains of Africa where Nora En Pure was the first to play ‘Good As You Are’, such a beautiful moment. Can’t wait to see how this one comes to life on the dance floor. ''
With releases on Spectrum, Armada and his own Innerleaf Records, more than 30 million streams, and support from artists including Joris Voorn, Tinlicker, Eelke Kleijn and Nora En Pure, Tim brings an established melodic identity into the Purified catalogue.
The artwork returns to the Lillie Hills in South Africa’s Greater Kruger region, where Purified 500 was filmed, through a photograph captured by Olivia McMurray. Bringing the release back to the landscape where it was first shared, the image connects the music with a milestone shaped by nature, community and a defining moment in Purified’s journey.
