Returning to Purified Records, Amsterdam-based artist Milan Steenwinkel unveils his ‘Broken Dreams’ EP - a striking two-track release that firmly establishes his place within the melodic techno landscape. Featuring ‘Broken Dreams’ and ‘Stories Left Behind’, the EP delivers a powerful blend of cinematic emotion and dancefloor intensity. Both tracks are driven by soaring melodies, tight percussion, and an underlying sense of momentum that reflects Milan’s signature balance of emotion and energy. With this fresh release, he brings a bold and expressive sound to the label - rooted in melodic and progressive influences and crafted with a clear artistic vision.

Milan Steenwinkel - Broken Dreams

Swedish-based duo make an impactful debut on Enormous Vision with their progressive masterpiece, Lumina. Originally conceived as a stripped-down instrumental, the artists felt it lacked a certain emotional spark. That all changed when they discovered a hauntingly beautiful vocal that instantly elevated the track, adding depth and a cinematic quality. To further enhance its energy, they introduced powerful bass stabs, creating momentum and drive. With its rich melodies, emotive vocals, and driving low-end, Lumina emerges as a fully realized journey - an emotional yet powerful addition to any progressive set. An impressive first step for the duo on Enormous Vision.

Born from experiences with Balinese Culture and it's ethos, Warung serves as a profound inspiration for the sound and project of Aaron Hopkins and Dillon Ames. Both Aaron and Dillon decided to set aside their solo endeavours to cultivate something rich together, aiming to create an organic music identity. Warung are back releasing on SHÈN with their latest offering 'Angel'. 

'Angel' came about from countless hours of listening to alternative dance and electronica from the 1990s, an era dominated by those sounds. Primarily inspired by trip-hop and dub, the track dives into the raw emotion of the genre and brings it to the forefront of peak dance music culture. 'Angel' was created as a clear global reflection of a time filled with optimism but also uncertainty, capturing the essence of a message that pierces into the listener’s soul. Dark and brooding in its nature, it is a perfect amalgamation of everything that was heard and everything that inspired the pairing.
