Returning to Purified Records with a powerful and emotive cut, South African producer Jono Stephenson delivers ‘Midnight Sun’ Ft. Australian vocalist Haptic. Diving into a progressive soundscape with captivating synth work and rumbling bass, this striking arrangement is juxtaposed with Haptic’s serene vocals, exuding a deep and poignant atmosphere.

The ‘Midnight Sun’ artwork features a beautiful underwater shot, captured by Daniel Nicholson. The ocean covers over 70% of the Earth's surface, making it the largest continuous ecosystem on the planet. Its total area is approximately 361 million square kilometers (139 million square miles). Phytoplankton, microscopic marine plants found near the ocean's surface, are responsible for producing about half of the world's oxygen through photosynthesis. This makes the ocean a critical component of the Earth's oxygen cycle, vital for supporting life on land. The ocean appears blue due to the selective absorption and scattering of sunlight. Water molecules absorb longer wavelengths of light, such as red and orange, while shorter blue wavelengths are scattered, giving the ocean its characteristic blue color.

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.
