Random Musings, December 2018

The Fragments series returns with its thirty-first edition, ‘Fragments XXXI’, showcasing a compelling blend of emerging and returning talent on Purified Records. Delta Vaults opens the compilation with ‘Colors Of Life’ - an instrumental piece that builds with grand apex energy, driven by melodic synths and sweeping progression, marking his debut on the label. Milan Steenwinkel follows with ‘Hold Me’, delivering a deep, introspective journey through layered textures, rhythmic tension and longing vocals. Closing the release, JNSN returns with ‘Time’, blending emotive chords and energetic percussion into a richly uplifting track. A seamless fusion of melody, emotion and forward-thinking production, ‘Fragments XXXI’ adds another bold chapter to the evolving compilation series.

The ‘Fragments XXXI’ artwork is a photograph taken by Kelsey Williamson, featuring mobula rays during their migration in the Sea of Cortez off the coast of Baja. Kelsey is an adventurer and photographer passionate about exploring the world’s most remote and stunning regions. Her work captures untamed landscapes and underwater wonders, inspiring a deeper connection to the wild and a curiosity for the unknown.

Often called “the world’s aquarium,” the Sea of Cortez is one of the few places on Earth where thousands of mobula rays gather in spectacular mass aggregations. By working closely with local fishers and coastal communities, CEDO (@cedointercultural) promotes sustainable practices that safeguard species like mobulas and the health of the entire Gulf of California.

A staple name on Purified Records, Dan Sushi returns with his striking two-track ‘Horizon’ EP. Opening with the title track, he crafts an underground gem laced with airy melodic textures and nostalgic rave-inspired synths, fusing atmosphere with dancefloor grit. On the flip, ‘Nostalgia’ unfolds with a bellowing bassline and subtly grooved percussion, building into a cinematic break that evokes serene, natural beauty before plunging back into its powerful rhythm. Showcasing Dan Sushi’s ability to balance raw energy with delicate emotion, the ‘Horizon’ EP is a refined statement from an artist who continues to evolve while staying true to his signature sound.

The ‘Horizon’ EP artwork is an aerial photograph of a glacial river in Iceland taken by Jan Erik Waider. A fine art photographer based in Hamburg, Germany, Jan is known for capturing abstract landscapes of the northern latitudes. With a focus on water, ice, and intricate natural patterns, his work reveals the beauty hidden in the subtle details of the world around us.

These frozen intricacies are slowly vanishing in a warming world. Fortunately, GRID-Arendal (@gridarendal) transforms complex environmental data into clear, compelling maps, reports, and visuals — empowering decision-makers and the public to act on the urgent challenges of climate change and the protection of Arctic ecosystems.

Making their collaborative debut on Purified Records, Serra 9 and Somyu unveil the immersive ‘Ocean’ EP. The title track opens with swirling melodies and deep, hypnotic grooves - blending Serra 9’s textured production with Somyu’s delicate, piano-driven touch to create a sound both fluid and expansive. On the flip, ‘Final Signal’ delivers a deeper, more introspective cut, layering atmospheric pads and intricate rhythms with subtle emotional weight. Together, these tracks form a captivating journey through melodic soundscapes and nuanced storytelling. A seamless fusion of both artists’ distinct styles, the ‘Ocean’ EP marks a standout moment for the pair - introducing a refined collaboration that leaves a lasting impression.

Taken by Brooke Pyke, the ‘Ocean’ EP artwork features a pair of young humpback whales cruising the Ningaloo Reef in Western Australia. Brooke is an award-winning marine life photographer from Australia, based on Ningaloo Reef in WA. With a background in diving, she now focuses on ocean, travel, and adventure photography, capturing the beauty of the underwater world since 2014.

Each year, humpback whales migrate thousands of kilometres to the warm, sheltered waters of Western Australia’s Ningaloo Reef to breed, give birth, and raise their young.

Release Info: 
Swiss label Dilek drops a new EP from Argentinian duo Biotech Patagonia also including a remix by UNER who is an artist who has featured on labels ranging from Bedrock and Diynamic to Sol Selectas.

Biotech Patagonia have a melodic style and a unique take on electronic music that when DJ’ing, also incorporates live vocals expertly sung by Violeta Reynal who makes up one half of the boyfriend and girlfriend duo. Constantino Vela is the other half and it’s his DJ skills which prove the backing track for the vocals.

In the studio Violeta Reynal is also a skilled pianist who brings charismatic melody to their music, whilst Constantino Vela builds the bulk of the track using analogue drum machines and synthesisers.

Creative equals, the members of Biotech Patagonia have complimenting skills, and this is the duo's debut release of original material.

For his remix, UNER has teamed up with his girlfriend Viviana Toscanini who is a South American native with musical roots that run deep in her family tree, and she has released on labels such as CibiCaldi Records. UNER to fans of the melodic genre needs little introduction, as he regularly DJ’s all over the globe, and has releases on many of the world’s best known labels.

The original mix of “Natura” opens the EP with a slow building structure full of analogue warmth. Its stripped back sound with synth parts washed in delay gives the track a cosmic feel perfect for the dance floor.

For the second track UNER and Viviana Toscanini remix “Natura” and start by adding an exquisite piano that’s brings a poignant mood to the original's stellar design. Beautiful and ambient but without forgetting about the dance floor, this intricate rework is simply stunning.

Third is “Shadows” which appropriately titled, had a dark and brooding undertone with glistening synths that skim across its surface, but it’s the introverted vocal which really adds the personality to this haunting cut.

“Genesis” is fourth on the release and with pulsating bass tones the track brings focus to the lead vocal, which compliments the mood of the dramatic melody synths. Highly conceptual and a full embodiment of the term epic, this mammoth track is a real attention grabber.

Finishing things is “Whispers” which is an intricate call and response between the bass and melody. Minimal in many senses, but still falling under the header of melodic techno, this track could for many be one of the highlights on the EP.

Tim Engelhardt & Constantijn Lange - Synced

The first on the forthcoming two-tracker from Animal Trainer, ‘Rebirth’ encompasses the feeling of anticipation and optimism. Funk and disco inspired beats and synth lines offer an irresistible hook to the track. Space-like sounds and gentle but swirling melodies build throughout with signature Frankfurt-style techno bleats peppering the track. With each minute that passes, the elements come together to work in harmony, bringing us closer to a new beginning; a ‘Rebirth’.

In a continuation on the journey that Animal Trainer have laid out in this EP, second track ‘Awakening’ projects a celestial feel. Following on from a previous sense of anticipation, we now feel we have landed in the presence of a new and higher power with ‘Awakening’. A steady pulsing beat forms the undercurrent

for this transmission. Overlaid with electrical tweets and gentle acid-esque melodies, the track delves deep with snare rhythms pinpointing clear tribal influences. A subtle-yet powerful drop welcomes the listener into the thick of this track; they’re awakened in the cosmos with Animal Trainer at the helm.
