Returning to Purified Records, Amsterdam-based artist Milan Steenwinkel unveils his ‘Broken Dreams’ EP - a striking two-track release that firmly establishes his place within the melodic techno landscape. Featuring ‘Broken Dreams’ and ‘Stories Left Behind’, the EP delivers a powerful blend of cinematic emotion and dancefloor intensity. Both tracks are driven by soaring melodies, tight percussion, and an underlying sense of momentum that reflects Milan’s signature balance of emotion and energy. With this fresh release, he brings a bold and expressive sound to the label - rooted in melodic and progressive influences and crafted with a clear artistic vision.

The ‘Broken Heart’ EP artwork is a photograph taken by Juan Mora of oceanic manta rays (Mobula birostris) in Revillagigedo National Park, Mexico. A Colombian biologist, UW photographer, and expedition leader, Juan has dedicated his life and work to ocean advocacy. His camera serves as a powerful tool to share his passion and highlight the importance of protecting our planet.

This mission is shared by COBI (Comunidad y Biodiversidad) (@cobi_mx), a Mexican NGO rooted in community and driven by a deep commitment to ocean conservation. By working hand in hand with coastal fishers, advancing sustainable practices, and generating knowledge through participatory science, COBI helps safeguard marine life and the livelihoods that depend on it. Their work is a powerful reminder that when real people on the frontlines lead, conservation becomes not just possible, but enduring.
