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.
