PURPLE HAZE DROPS ETHEREAL NEW PROGRESSIVE OFFERING ‘RECOVER’ OUT NOW VIA ARMIND

Sander van Doorn is back as Purple Haze with yet another hard-hitting endeavor in the form of ‘Recover’. The latest to come from Doorn’s moniker directly follows up ‘Faces’ from this August, in addition to a slew of 2020 releases such as ‘Flanging’, ‘Strangers Thing’, ‘Rosy’, ‘The Purpose’, and ‘The King’s Court’. It also follows up Sander van Doorn and Armin van Buuren’s collaborative knockout ‘Jonson’s Play’ from mid-June of this year. Out now via Armind, ‘Recover’ is available to listen to across all streaming platforms.

The cinematic track immediately kicks off with a hushed vocal cut, audibly adding an entrancing element to the wholly enticing opus. A plethora of synths are introduced into the space, lulling the listener with each passing second as the tension steadily rises. The hefty bassline kicks in a few minutes into the tune, providing it with a four-on-the-floor ambiance that’s maintained with ease throughout the entirety of its runtime. The monumentally anthemic offering slows down its pace about halfway, and re-introduces the hypnotizing monologue from its beginning. The forcible bass drop ensues, and is rife with an infectious energy unlike anything else. The heady touch present from start-to-finish is also perfectly paired with the high-octane flair one can hear via the production elements courtesy of Doorn. In all, the second Purple Haze release of 2021, ‘Recover’, is a prime addition to the powerhouse’s back-catalog.

COUROS RELEASES CAPTIVATING NEW SINGLE ‘UNTITLED21’ AHEAD OF BITBIRD’S 'GOULDIAN FINCH 4' VA COMPILATION, SET FOR RELEASE ON OCTOBER 15TH

‘UNTITLED21’ AVAILABLE TO STREAM NOW

Emerging talent Couros is back with his first original release since his 2018 EP, 'Young'. After spending the last couple of years mastering his soulful, melodic sound, the London-based producer makes his bitbird debut with his newest single, ‘Untitled21,’ ahead of the fourth installment of the label’s Gouldian Finch compilation series. Making an unforgettable debut, ‘Untitled21’ is now available across all streaming platforms via bitbird.

Couros’ latest offering follows a slew of remixes including his recent remix for Godford’s ‘Downtown’. His new original single, ‘Untitled21’ makes a nod to imperfection, showing that there’s real beauty in not overthinking and just going with the flow. The enticing new track takes listeners into an uplifting and euphoric sonic soundscape, with softer instrumentation and vocal chops. Couros showcases his prowess for making raw, emotive music, rife with dreamy, melodic sensibilities. ‘Untitled21’ makes for a grand return for the undeniably gifted producer, giving listeners a look into Couros’ rapturous sound.

“I wanted to make something that didn't feel as connected and was more of a no-minded approach to making a song,” he says about ‘Untitled21’ “I went off instinct for a whole day, added a vocal from a song I just wrote, cut it up and kept it fast and didn't obsess. Probably the fastest from idea-to-master I’ve done yet and while there's always that voice in my head telling me its not good enough, I’m really into leaving all the human mistakes/touches in because I guess thats what makes it my song.”

-Couros
