The German producer returns to the label with a euphoric, slow-burning melodic cut that feels both introspective and built for the dancefloor—anchored by an ocean-inspired visual and a deeper environmental message.
German producer Alex Breitling isn’t interested in quick hits or throwaway moments. His tracks feel like places you enter, stay in for a while, and come out of slightly changed.
After making waves on Purified Records with his 2024 release “Skyfall”, Breitling returns to the imprint with “Eternity”—a dream-like, melodic offering that leans into shimmering synth work, emotional peaks, and that sweet spot where euphoria meets reflection. The single is out now across all streaming platforms.
Built for long drives, late-night sets and eyes-closed dancefloor moments, “Eternity” is less about instant gratification and more about a gradual, immersive ascent.
A slow-build into something bigger
“Eternity” opens with airy textures and a steady, evolving groove, easing you into its world rather than rushing the payoff. Breitling lets the tension unfurl patiently: expanding atmospheres, layered synth lines and a surging melodic progression that pulls you forward without ever feeling forced.
As the track develops, its hypnotic flow walks a careful balance—warmth and energy, intimacy and lift. By the time it reaches its soaring peak, “Eternity” lands in that rare zone where emotional resonance and pure dancefloor power coexist. It’s melodic, cinematic and big without ever losing its sense of detail.
This is Breitling in his comfort zone: intricate production with a widescreen feel, built for both headphones and festival systems.
A decade of translating emotion into sound
Originating from Koblenz, Germany, Alex Breitling has spent over a decade fine-tuning his melodic and atmospheric signature.
His journey started behind local DJ booths, where hours of reading crowds and chasing moments of connection eventually evolved into a distinctive studio voice. Over the years, he’s become known for:
- Dynamic basslines that anchor the emotional high end
- Stirring piano arrangements that cut through the mix with clarity
- Meticulously sculpted synth work that gives each track its own character and story
With “Eternity”, he doubles down on that identity—crafting a track that feels like a continuation of his story while nudging his sound further into the melodic frontier of electronic music. It’s a reminder that he’s not just following the wave; he’s helping shape where it goes next.
An underwater world with a message
The visual identity of “Eternity” goes deeper than just cover art.
The single’s artwork is a photograph by Kelsey Williamson, capturing a school of fish swimming above a coral reef. It’s not just a pretty shot—it’s a portal into another ecosystem, one that mirrors the track’s sense of depth, motion and interconnectedness.
Williamson is an adventurer and photographer obsessed with exploring the world’s most remote and striking locations, from untamed landscapes to underwater life. Her work documents places that feel almost unreal—and in the context of “Eternity,” it frames the track as both a sonic escape and a reminder of what’s at stake outside our headphones.
Coral reefs are some of the most diverse ecosystems on the planet. They act as nurseries for fish, shelter countless marine species, protect coastlines from erosion and play a role in global carbon and nitrogen cycles. Lose the reefs, and the ocean loses one of its core engines of biodiversity.
The Reef-World Foundation works internationally to support reef protection through education, sustainable tourism, and local engagement, connecting what happens on the ground (and under the surface) with the choices we make on land.
For listeners wanting to take it further, Only One—an action platform dedicated to restoring ocean health and tackling the climate crisis—offers a way to plug into tangible solutions and community-led projects around the globe.
“Eternity” as a feeling
There’s something fitting about pairing a track called “Eternity” with imagery of a reef teeming with life.
Breitling’s new single doesn’t scream for attention; it grows, breathes, and expands in its own time. It’s a reminder that some of the most powerful moments—on the dancefloor and in the natural world—are the ones that build slowly, layer by layer, until you suddenly realize you’re in the middle of something vast.
With “Eternity,” Alex Breitling reinforces exactly why his name keeps circling through the melodic scene: he’s not just making tracks, he’s carving out fully realized sonic worlds—and inviting us to stay in them a little longer.
Alex Breitling – “Eternity” is out now on all streaming platforms.
“Eternity” feels like both a meditation and an ascent — airy yet powerful. What emotional space were you in when you started creating this track?
When I started working on Eternity, I was in a very reflective phase of my life. I was searching for calm, for something that felt infinite and grounding at the same time. The track came from moments of stillness , walking alone, watching the sky.
Your music often lives between introspection and euphoria. How do you find that balance between emotional depth and dancefloor energy?
For me, the two are not separate. I think euphoria often comes from introspection when you process emotions deeply enough, it transforms into energy. My goal is to create music that moves both the body and the heart. The rhythm keeps you connected to the moment, while the melodies open a space to feel.
The artwork for “Eternity” — a school of fish above a coral reef — is so symbolic. How did that image connect to the sound and feeling of the track for you?
The ocean has this timeless rhythm endless motion, yet full of peace. The artwork reflects that: unity, flow, and a deeper ecosystem of life. To me, Eternity feels like floating underwater
You’ve described your process as translating emotion into sound. What specific emotion or memory do you think “Eternity” captures most vividly?
It captures that feeling of clarity the moment when you realize how small and temporary we are, yet how connected everything is. There’s melancholy in it, but also hope.
There’s a cinematic progression in your production — subtle build-ups, surging melodies, shimmering synths. What does storytelling through sound look like in your creative process?
I always think in images when I produce. I build layers like a story unfolding: a quiet introduction, rising emotion, a release, and then stillness again. The goal is to make the listener travel.
You’ve been part of the Purified Records family for a while now. How has that relationship shaped your artistic evolution and approach to production?
Being part of Purified has been a huge inspiration. The community around the label is driven by emotion, quality, and connection. Working with people who truly care about sound and message pushed me to trust my instincts more and refine my identity as an artist.
Environmental consciousness is subtly woven into this release, from the oceanic artwork to the Reef-World Foundation connection. How do nature and sustainability influence your creative philosophy?
Nature reminds me of balance. Every sound in my music, the pads, the atmosphere, even silence is inspired by natural patterns.
Your journey started behind DJ booths in Koblenz and evolved into crafting these expansive sonic worlds. What has been the biggest shift in how you view music — and yourself — over that time?
In the beginning, it was all about learning and find the right sound. Now, it’s more about meaning. I’ve learned that music can be a mirror it reflects who you are at each stage of life. I’m more patient now, more honest with what I feel, and I try to let that honesty lead the sound. Do what you love and what you feel and not just for the business.
In a time when electronic music can often feel overly digital or detached, your sound feels deeply human. How do you keep that emotional authenticity at the core of your work?
For me, authenticity doesn’t mean raw or unpolished it means honest energy. When I create, I focus on what I truly feel in that moment. The precision in my sound helps me express those emotions clearly, so nothing distracts from what I want people to feel on the dancefloor.
The title “Eternity” suggests timelessness — something infinite. When you think about your music’s legacy, what do you hope lasts
I hope the feeling lasts. Not the streams or numbers just that someone, somewhere, listens to Eternity and feels something real. If the emotion stays, then the music truly becomes eternal.
