PURIFIED RECORDS UNVEILS 31ST EDITION OF VA SERIES ‘FRAGMENTS XXXI’

Out Now Across All Streaming Platforms

The Fragments series returns with its thirty-first edition, bringing together a dynamic mix of emerging voices and label mainstays in ‘Fragments XXXI’ - a three-track showcase that highlights the melodic, emotive, and forward-thinking sound Purified Records is known for.

Opening the compilation, Belgian producer Delta Vaults makes a striking label debut with ‘Colors Of Life’. An instrumental journey driven by cinematic progression and powerful melodic synths, the track builds with grand, peak-time energy. A highly anticipated ID from Nora En Pure’s EDC Vegas set, this track has been on the radar of fans for months. Known for his epic compositions and cinematic roots, Delta Vaults channels his background in film soundtracks and electronic performance into a piece that bridges emotional storytelling and club euphoria with precision.

Next, Milan Steenwinkel brings a deep, introspective edge with ‘Hold Me’. Rooted in layered textures and rhythmic tension, the track unfolds around longing vocals and a brooding, progressive framework. Drawing influence from the underground melodic techno scene and classical music alike, the Amsterdam-based artist creates a powerful sense of emotional immersion through sound - making for a compelling addition to the compilation.

Closing the release, JNSN returns to the label with ‘Time’ - a richly uplifting track built on emotive chords, pulsing basslines, and energetic percussion. A solid club weapon that’s been championed by Nora En Pure in her sets around the world, ‘Time’ blends melody and momentum with a deeply expressive groove. Infused with his signature sense of narrative, JNSN delivers a track that’s both cathartic and dancefloor-ready, reinforcing his reputation as a boundary-pushing producer with a personal and resonant sound.

With each artist offering a distinct sonic signature, Fragments XXXI is a seamless fusion of emotion, melody, and technical craft - marking another bold chapter in Purified Records’ 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.

With a catalogue that seamlessly blends instrumental elegance and vocal-led resonance, her latest single, ‘Space’ - out now on Enormous Tunes - lands as a powerful statement that balances beauty and weight, delicacy and drive.

At the core of ‘Space’ is a sense of duality. Light and dark. Air and earth. The track opens with intricate, arpeggiated synth work - sparkling and fluid - creating a dreamy, celestial mood. Ethereal vocals from MAGNUS float across the top, lending a sense of serenity and openness. But beneath the surface, a resonating, gritty bassline pulses with power, anchored by a mammoth kick that gives the track undeniable club energy. The contrast between the airy top layers and the heavier low end creates a striking tension - one that keeps the listener suspended between intimacy and intensity.

This is where Nora En Pure excels: crafting immersive soundscapes that offer more than just rhythm - they evoke. ‘Space’ moves with purpose, shifting through moments of quiet euphoria and driving momentum, all while maintaining a polished and cohesive identity. It’s a track that feels equally at home in expansive festival sets and solitary late-night listening.

Following recent releases like ‘Senses Of Comfort’, ‘Protected’ and ‘Tranquility’, ‘Space’ reinforces Nora En Pure’s unmistakable sonic identity – one built on emotion, atmosphere, and precision. Each new release adds depth to a catalogue that continues to evolve without losing its core – a signature blend that resonates with long-time fans and new listeners alike.

Nora En Pure rounds out her summer tour with a run of headline shows across Europe, North America and Canada, following standout performances at festivals like Tomorrowland and Lollapalooza. With her Purified events continuing to build a global community around emotive and melodic dance music, ‘Space’ lands as a timely release - capturing the energy, contrast, and depth she brings to every stage.

SIMINA GRIGORIU DEBUTS ON TERMINAL M WITH DUAL-TECHNO MISSIVE “ARKANA / PARTNERS OF DESTINY”

Out Now Across All Streaming Platforms

At a time when techno often risks homogeneity, Simina Grigoriu delivers a statement of intent - bold, intricate, and undeniably hers - with her powerful debut on Monika Kruse’s iconic Terminal M imprint. The two-track EP, ‘Arkana / Partners Of Destiny’, is not just a showcase of Simina’s technical finesse, but a layered journey into the mystic heart of modern techno.

Opening with ‘Arkana’, Simina taps into a primal energy. Built around hypnotic drum patterns and finely sculpted synth motifs, the track conjures a dark, almost ceremonial atmosphere. Its progression is slow-burning yet surgical - a masterclass in restraint. Here, she channels the spirit of classic minimalism, but filters it through her own kinetic vision, weaving tension and release in ever-tighter spirals. The result? A track that doesn’t just demand movement, but submission.

On the flip side, ‘Partners Of Destiny’ pushes deeper into Simina’s fascination with fate, interconnectedness, and sonic storytelling. Its groove is propulsive, urgent - but beneath the surface lies a meditative pulse, a sense of purpose. Swirling textures emerge like echoes from another dimension, while subtly shifting percussion drives the momentum forward. It’s the kind of track that doesn’t just belong on the dancefloor - it owns it.

This EP marks a pivotal moment in Simina’s evolution. After years cultivating a distinct sound through her Berlin-based label Kuukou Records and a string of acclaimed releases, her arrival on Terminal M feels both inevitable and electrifying. The label, known for championing artists who blur the line between raw power and refined craft, finds in Simina a perfect match: a producer who honours techno’s roots while relentlessly pushing its edges.

In her recent sets - from the industrial energy of Berlin’s underground to the sun-drenched euphoria of Europe’s summer festivals - both ‘Arkana’ and ‘Partners Of Destiny’ have become secret weapons. Road-tested in front of thousands, they’ve sparked moments of collective ecstasy, threading Simina’s rhythmic precision with the crowd’s unspoken need for transcendence.

This isn’t just a release; it’s an affirmation. With ‘Arkana / Partners Of Destiny’, Simina Grigoriu steps onto one of techno’s most revered platforms not as a newcomer, but as an artist fully in command of her voice. Fierce, focused, and fearless - this is techno that remembers the ritual.
