Delivering the latest installment of its Fragment series, Purified Records presents Purified Fragments XXI. Opening with Fernandez and Silvera’s club-ready cut ‘Emptiness’ Feat. Nemila, the producers build a driving soundscape contrasted by soaring vocals. Flowing into Dutch producer Ønawa’s ‘Pulse of Life’, a mysterious tone is evoked with alluring vocals, deep bass and acid synths, keeping listeners engaged throughout its entirety. Closing with Toronto-based producer Adina Nova and Atlanta-based artist Coff’s collaboration ‘The Serpent’s Call’, this spellbinding cut calls upon whispers and a captivating arrangement to achieve a hypnotic atmosphere. The Fragments XXI artwork showcases a photograph of a shark and its accompanying remoras, captured by Daniel Nicholson. Remoras, also known as shark suckers, play an interesting role in marine ecosystems through their symbiotic relationships with larger marine animals like sharks and rays. By attaching themselves to these hosts, remoras benefit from movement and protection, while they help their hosts by removing parasites and cleaning their skin. This mutualistic relationship enhances the overall health and stability of marine life, contributing indirectly to the ecological balance of oceanic environments. Organizations like Shark Stewards are on a mission to save endangered sharks and rays from overfishing and the shark fin trade, and protect critical marine habitat through the establishment of marine protected areas. Located on the Ningaloo Reef in Western Australia, Daniel Nicholson is one of the globe’s most prominent professional underwater photographers. He seeks to share the beauty and magic of the underwater world to inspire conservation and change. Looking to help further protect the ocean?
