Wouter Achterberg

Following his label debut at the beginning of the year with ‘Fool Me’, Dutch producer Wouter Achterberg returns to Purified Records with his two-track ‘Mutations’ EP. Tried and tested, including at Nora En Pure’s Main Stage ULTRA Music Festival set, the title track aims to command attention within moments of play.

Conjuring an atmosphere with chopped vocals and instrumentation, he gradually builds the arrangement with bass and synth work. Diving into ‘The Unknown’, the B-Side further demonstrates his production style, combining vocals with an instrumental arrangement.

 

Having possibly made an impact in the electronic music scene over the past few years, the Amsterdam-based artist’s sound is characterised by melancholic melodies, immersive breaks, and swirling soundscapes.

 

With releases on labels such as Purified and Miss Monique’s Siona Records, his tracks have been played at on stages such as Ultra Miami and Lightning In A Bottle festival. Supported by artists like Colyn, Innellea, Maceo Plex, Nora En Pure, and Miss Monique, he continues to aim to establish his presence within the dance music realm.

 

The ‘Mutations’ artwork showcases a blacktip shark, captured by Daniel Nicholson. The blacktip shark, known for the distinctive black tips on its fins, is a sleek and agile predator classified as "Near Threatened" by the IUCN due to overfishing, habitat loss, and climate change. Conservation efforts are crucial to protect these sharks and maintain healthy marine ecosystems. Despite their powerful appearance, they are generally shy around humans and rarely pose a threat.
