Grammy award-winning artist Purple Disco Machine joins the list of Defected House Masters with a celebratory 30-track digital compilation and 12-track vinyl. The German DJ/producer, Tino Pointek, AKA Purple Disco Machine, is the possible blueprint for what makes a successful dance music artist in the modern age; respected on the underground scene while achieving major crossover success with remixes for the likes of Sir Elton John, Dua Lipa and Mark Ronson.
The crate-digging kingpin of house and disco first landed on Defected over a decade ago, and has since delivered remixes of tracks like Fatboy Slim’s ‘Praise You’ and the London label’s top tracks, including Shakedown’s ‘At Night’ and ‘Coma Cat’ by Tensnake, as well as originals like ‘Beat Fantasy’.
From edits of the classics to remixes of the modern, and uplifting originals, he has birthed a sound that is instantly recognisable.
To herald the arrival of the 30-track digital compilation, on Friday, 20 February, Purple Disco Machine was the guest on episode 9 of Defected’s Moments In Music podcast, where he discussed how his personal catalogue came to be, from his personal, era-defining early influences to the wider context of house, techno and disco across Europe approaching the 21st Century.
Across ‘Defected presents House Masters - Purple Disco Machine’, the full breadth of the German selector’s sound is felt from the 2019 track ‘Dished (Male Stripper)’ to deep cuts like his re-work of Fallout’s ‘The Morning After’ as well as remixes of tracks like ‘Lola’s Theme’ by The Shapeshifters and Spiller’s ‘Groovejet’ featuring Sophie Ellis-Bextor.
‘Defected presents House Masters - Purple Disco Machine’ is out now.
