Paradoks Delivers ‘Granular’ on Purified Records
Following his impactful release Remember last year, label mainstay Paradoks makes a striking return to Purified Records with his first release of the year, Granular.
Demonstrating his refined ability to fuse cinematic, emotive soundscapes with bold, high-impact production, the track unfolds with precision and intent, balancing atmospheric depth with driving momentum. Daring and uncompromising, Granular channels a relentless surge of energy into every dancefloor it reaches – a quality shaped through extensive global testing across the winter season. As he continues to push the boundaries of his evolving sound, Paradoks once again reaffirms his position at the forefront of the melodic house and techno landscape.
Speaking about the release, Paradoks mentioned:
“Granular is very connected to what’s going on around us right now. The world feels unsettled, and we’re constantly exposed to digital noise, bad news and information overload. It affects us, and sometimes it feels like we’re just passengers, with no real control over what’s happening.
This song reflects how my mind sometimes feels, fragmented into bits of information, that sense of living in a world where everything moves so fast it becomes overwhelming and hard to process, to the point where we almost disconnect from it. There’s a certain heaviness in that.
But at the same time, even if we can’t control the bigger picture, we can still choose how we experience it.”
With a sound that bridges powerful electronic music and melodic storytelling, Paradoks connects listeners to themselves, each other, and the present moment. His music celebrates life’s dualities: light and dark, calm and intensity, mind and heart, offering an authentic exploration of the human paradoxes within us all.
The artwork for Granular features a stunning aerial image of an outer reef, captured by Australian photographer Brooke Pyke. Australia is home to the Great Barrier Reef, the world’s largest coral reef system, which supports more than 1,500 species of fish and 400 species of coral. In alignment with this visual narrative, the Australian Marine Conservation Society continues its vital work protecting the country’s oceans and marine life—campaigning against overfishing, reducing plastic pollution, and safeguarding threatened species and habitats.
Brooke Pyke is an award-winning marine life photographer based on Ningaloo Reef in Western Australia. With a background in diving, she has dedicated her career since 2014 to capturing the beauty of the underwater world through ocean, travel, and adventure photography.
