In The Dark (with Sophie & The Giants - club dub) (5:01)
Can't Get Enough (feat Sahara Beck - Monte remix) (6:05)
Review: While some of his singles are arguably aimed at radio stations and streaming services, Purple Disco Machine never forgets the DJs. This 12" for example contains extended, club-focused reworks of two recent - and predictably popular - tracks. On side A he reworks Sophie & The Giants collaboration 'In The Dark' in a 'Club-Dub' style, cannily re-framing it as a pulsating, throbbing and echo-laden fusion of mid-80s Bobby Orlando Hi-NRG, ear-pleasing nu-disco, Chic and Moroder style electronic disco. Sahara Beck hook-up 'In The Back' is beefed up a bit on the flip, with Purple Disco Machine doffing a cap to Shep Pettibone's 1980s Pet Shop Boys remixes and Stuart Price style synth-house
Review: Purple Disco Machine's 'Dopamine' came out last year in a blissful burst of singalong vocal house goodness, with Eyelar up front on the mix creating a fully fledged anthem which was a deserved hit for the German producer. Now comes a remix 12" which casts 'Dopamine' under the watchful eye of John Summit, a young producer with serious pop nous to his beats. It's a shoe-in for big rooms and big stages where you want to enrapture the masses, and if the A side isn't enough you've also got the Daft Punk-tinged disco delights of 'I Remember (Club Dub Mix)' on the flip. Purple Disco Machine's name is a byword for catchy club classics in the making, and so it goes on this new 12".
Review: The Purple Disco Machine keeps on trucking with that none-bigger approach to chart baiting house music, and this time there's no holding back as they team up with Joe Killington to deliver the insanely catchy 'Devil In Me'. There's a familiar soul lick looped up in the background of the track which should only double down on the mass appeal of this perfect track, and you get the perfect balance of straight up radio-friendly vocal version and a club dub on the flip for those who want to take it deeper.
Review: Built around a central Stax Records gem from the late 1960s, Purple Disco Machine's 'Devil In Me' is an emotional disco-house burster that reappropriates the staunch voices of Judy Clay and William Bell's 'Private Number'. But the function of this track isn't to evoke mournful blues 'motion more than it is to get you up and dancing; truly, the hard edges and funk bounces of this track will 'bring out the devil' in you too. Fittingly, it comes to a blood red vinyl 12" edition.
Review: German artist Purple Disco Machine is a studio wizard and something of a throwback - he manages to make tunes that are rich in musicality as well as having plenty of focus on the dancefloor. Each one brims with colourful hooks and catchy grooves and this new one 'Beat Of Your Heart' comes with delightfully soulful vocals from singer-songwriter ASDiS. It's got summer anthem written all over it such is the feel-good nature of the whole thing with both a club dub and instrumental also included for different settings. Bring on the sun!
