New Delhi: Pakistani music producer Xulfi is celebrating Coke Studio Pakistan’s track ‘Peechay Hutt’ after its feature in Netflix’s dance comedy Best of the Best (2026). The track was originally released in 2022 as part of Coke Studio Season 14.
The song features vocals by Hasan Raheem and Justin Bibis, along with electro-pop beats by Talal Qureshi. Xulfi, who led the track, shared his happiness in an Instagram post, where he wrote that representation helps put Pakistani music on the global map and called ‘Peechay Hutt’ part of a revolution.
“It just looks like a soundtrack in a movie, but music has the power to set the narrative and tell the world about who we are, where we come from, where we have reached and what we stand for.”
The song previously reached international audiences through Marvel’s Ms. Marvel (2022), which also featured other Pakistani songs including Ali Sethi and Shae Gill’s ‘Pasoori,’ and Ahmed Rushdi’s ‘Ko Ko Korina’. Its inclusion in the films helped introduce the track to an international audience.
