Purple Disco Machine pays an ode to his dancefloor roots, finishing the year with the release of his double album, Club Paradise. The internationally acclaimed producer further cemented his position as one of dance music’s key figures earlier this year with the release of his third studio album Paradise, described as a “throwback to the golden age of disco” and already packed with high caliber collaborations such as Metronomy, Chromeo, Roosevelt, Kungs, Jake Shears of the Scissor Sisters, Nile Rodgers, Dabeull, Duke Dumont, Nothing but Thieves and the Magician. The album amplified his status as a hit-maker as he earned Platinum certifications across Europe with “Substitution” with Kungs, following the chart-topping success of tracks from previous years such as “Hypnotized” and “In the Dark.”
Despite the many accolades, one thing is clear, Purple Disco Machine has always remembered his club beginnings. Tracks such as “Body Funk,” “Dished (Male Stripper)” and “Playbox” as well as recent singles such as “Bad Company” and “Higher Ground” feat. Roosevelt are evidence that the German producer is at home making tunes for the dancefloor. So, of course, as a pillar of the modern-day disco and funk worlds Purple Disco Machine has assembled an eclectic mix of producers for an 18-track journey into the club world that he has flourished in. Club Paradise encapsulates the collective experience that comes from being on the dancefloor with the highest caliber of remixes, extended mixes, club dubs, and an original built to party to with “Get Up 24.”
The album opens in quintessential Purple Disco Machine fashion with “W.T.P.” as we are welcomed to Club Paradise and introduced to that insatiable desire to dance. Next Marten Hørger swaps out the disco-flair on “Beat Of Your Heart” for a deeper and melodic sound further intensifying ASDIS’ soaring vocals. This flows on seamlessly to Erol Alkan’s stripped-back rework of “Dirty Pleasures” drawing attention to an emphasized bassline and darker elements within the original. The Sponges follow suit with their unique blend of tech-house and funk on their remix of “Honey Boy” accentuating those futuristic Purple Disco Machine synths, making it perfect for a darker disco. “Paradisco” then receives the psychedelic soul treatment from Hifi Sean. As we journey through the dancefloor dedicated tracklist we reach the extended version of the title track “Paradise” which further hones in on the euphoric elements that pair elegantly with Sophie & The Giants’ vocals. Next up is Lifelike’s remix of “Bad Company” – who craftily maintains the uplifting nu-disco keys of the original while underlining the single’s French-electro capabilities. Maintaining the essence of the album is the Club Dub of “Contact” which is followed by Diogo Strausz’s remix of “Can’t Stop Loving You” which expertly incorporates driving breaks for a groove-filled club mix. We are then reminded of the worldwide anthem and multi-Platinum collaboration with Kungs, “Substitution (feat. Julian Perretta).” The track that dominated airwaves is extended for the dancefloor as is the subsequent track “Heartbreaker” with Chromeo. The album continues with a star-studded affair as Solomun turns Purple Disco Machine’s collaboration with Duke Dumont and Nothing But Thieves “Something On My Mind” into an emphatically atmospheric offering and builds anticipation around the English band’s vocals. A phenomenal tune is worthy of two phenomenal remixes as Braxe + Falcon also put their own French touch on “Something On My Mind” amplifying the funk flair of the track. The already certified club-filler “Higher Ground” maintains its deep-funk elements in the extended version, before respected remixers Blank & Jones drop the tempo on “All My Life,” creating not only a refined and hypnotic remix but an ambient version as well. Once again, the spoken poetry of Friedrich Lichtenstein is transformed for the dancefloor with the Club Dub of “Die Maschine.” Rounding up the disco journey is an essential Purple Disco Machine party-starter and latest release, “Get Up 24,” encompassing all the flair and groove that have become synonymous with the Dresden native.
Tino Piontek’s artistry, and even his artist name, Purple Disco Machine, are conspicuously ingrained in the club experience. His affinity for providing disco groove to dancefloors across the globe is as on display as ever with his accolade of being the #2 Beatport Artist of All Time and achieving a GRAMMY Award for his remix of Lizzo’s “About Damn Time.” After over 80 shows in 2023, the hit-maker extraordinaire hasn’t slowed down in 2024. He captivated audiences at Tomorrowland, Defected Croatia, Arc Festival, and across Ibiza, while joining Fisher at his headline show in Gunnersbury Park. Additionally, he took Paradise across Europe with multiple sold-out headlining shows in Germany, Italy, France, Poland, Belgium, Netherlands, and the Czech Republic. Ready to unveil that disco expertise internationally, Purple Disco Machine will close out 2024 touring both South and North America before venturing to Australia in 2025. He will return home to Germany in August after a highly successful Paradise Live Show left fans clamoring for more.
