The new album 'PARADISE' is out now - listen HERE!
Out Friday 20th September, disco maestro Purple Disco Machine presents his third studio album, ‘Paradise’, featuring a host of collaborations from the scene’s most-loved artists including the legendary Nile Rodgers, Metronomy, Jake Shears, Duke Dumont, Sophie and the Giants, Nothing But Thieves and more.
With his many accolades and chart-topping success including a Grammy win for his remix of Lizzo's 'About Damn Time', plus dancefloor favourites 'Body Funk', ‘Dished (Male Stripper)’, 'Rise', 'Playbox’ as well as recent singles ‘Bad Company’ and ‚Higher Ground‘ Purple Disco Machine has solidified himself as one of dance music’s key players.
Two and a half years in the making, the producer is now ready to transport listeners straight to the dance floor with his uplifting dose of nu-disco, having meticulously crafted what he aims to be a timeless soundtrack blending nostalgia and modernity. ‘Can’t Stop Loving You’, a stylish low-slung offering, drops the tempo at the album’s midway point; while funk-fuelled riffs take pride of place on tunes such as ‘All My Life’ with Belgian producer The Magician, and ‘Heartbreaker’ with acclaimed electronic duo Chromeo which samples My Mine's 'Hypnotic Tango’. Uncompromising in its vision, closing track ‘Die Maschine’ carries the album’s theme through to the end, featuring spoken word from German poet Friedrich Liechtenstein.
Commenting on the feel-good anthem ‘All My Life’, Purple Disco Machine said:
“It’s the last song I wrote for the album, and I was looking for an uplifting summer song that I could play in my sets. So, I asked The Magician who I met again at Tomorrowland last year. We first worked on the instrumental and I played it a couple of times at my shows. It worked really well, but I felt that if I wanted to add it to the album it would need a topline. So, we pitched it to different writers and this one came back as the perfect fit. It’s super catchy! I wasn’t sure at the start thinking it might be too much, but after testing it with the crowd and everyone singing along, hands up in the air, I knew it was the right addition. I am so happy that The Magician is now also part of my album. For ‘Paradise’ I only wanted to work with people I admire and that’s why it’s so cool for me to have The Magician on the album.”
More than just an album, ‘Paradise’ is a profound exploration of the Grammy-Award winning producer’s interpretation of what makes a place, a moment or a feeling truly transcendent. Now gearing up to bring his signature sound to mainland Europe, performing for the first time with a full band, Purple Disco Machine is set to embark on his highly anticipated Paradise tour this autumn. The tour follows a jam-packed summer that saw him captivate audiences worldwide. Most recently he joined the iconic Fisher at his headline show at Gunnersbury Park, as well as power the dancefloor at Glitterbox’s Glasgow takeover. The latest show in his hometown of Dresden, Germany saw him play to a crowd of 12K discerning fans – an unforgettable night celebrating his global influence within the dance music scene.
He added:
“The live show is a completely new production, it's actually like nothing I've ever done before - songs are combined in mashups, new songs are included, old songs are included, in new variations. And all this with live artists, with live singers, with dancers, in a completely new guise”
Inviting all to discover their own vision of paradise, Purple Disco Machine shares his latest body of work with the world – Paradise, out Friday 20th September.
