MUMBAI: German DJ and producer- Purple Disco Machine has sought to capitalise on the massive success of club anthem, Body Funk with raucous new double-single, Emotion Up & Down out on 19 July 2019 via Positiva/Virgin EMI Records.
Tapping into his trademark disco-house sound, Emotion samples 1970's R&B classic I Don’t Wanna Lose Your Love by The Emotions - lending it a renewed dancefloor prowess while bringing the original’s infectious chorus to the fore. Up & Down is similarly high-energy affair, with Purple Disco Machine inviting fellow German producer- 'Lorenz Rhode' into the studio for a track underpinned by retro, robotic vocals and the funkiest of basslines.
It comes after the Dresden-born artist’s last singles Body Funk and Dished (Male Stripper) each picked up over 20 million global streams, receiving regular plays from BBC Radio 1 tastemakers Annie Mac, Danny Howard, Pete Tong and MistaJam. He will also make a number of Ibiza appearances this summer, becoming a resident at the celebrated Glitterbox parties at Hï Ibiza and performing at Pacha for Claptone’s new The Masquerade residency, as well as taking in a number of high-profile festivals, including Beat-Herder, Defected Festival and the Toolroom London Summer Party.
The irresistible winning formula, Emotion/ Up & Down are two energetic disco-house tracks with serious crossover appeal.
