Following his label debut at the beginning of the year, Fool Me, Dutch rising producer Wouter Achterberg returns to Purified Records with his massive two-track Mutations EP.
 

 
Tried and tested around the world, including Nora En Pure’s Main Stage ULTRA Music Festival set, the powerful title track commands attention within moments of play. Conjuring an otherworldly atmosphere with chopped vocals and mystical instrumentation, Wouter gradually builds the arrangement with rolling bass and heavy synth work. Diving into The Unknown, the B-Side further demonstrates his hypnotic production style, combining captivating vocals with an enthralling instrumental arrangement.
 
Having made a solid impact in the electronic music scene over the past few years, Amsterdam-based talent Wouter Achterberg’s sound is characterized by melancholic melodies, immersive breaks, and swirling soundscapes. Crafting an evolving auditory journey from dusk till dawn, he strives to capture the perfect atmosphere in his music.
 
With releases on esteemed labels such as Purified and Miss Monique’s Siona Records, Wouter’s evocative tracks have graced major stages such as Ultra Miami and Lightning In A Bottle festival. Supported by influential artists like Colyn, Innellea, Maceo Plex, Nora En Pure, and Miss Monique, Wouter Achterberg continues to establish his presence within the dance music realm, and express his musical identity.


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. Blacktip sharks can swim at speeds up to 20 miles per hour and often travel in groups. They are impressive athletes, capable of leaping out of the water and spinning in the air while hunting. Despite their powerful appearance, they are generally shy around humans and rarely pose a threat. Blacktip sharks give birth to live young, with females typically having litters of 4 to 11 pups, and their unique reproductive strategy involves placental viviparity, where the embryos develop inside the mother and are nourished by a placenta.
