Session: Purple Disco Machine

A rare Newcastle Debut for International DJ, producer and remixer Tino Piontek aka Purple Disco Machine, who's been on a whirlwind of a musical journey since the conception of his Deep Funk branded Disco House music project in 2009.

The Dresden-born Deep Funk innovator has racked up numerous achievements, although it was his 2013 breakthrough hit ‘My House’, on OFF Recordings, that really propelled PDM onto new heights; landing the No.1 Spot within Beatport’s Deep House chart and, at its peak, No.3 overall. The track remains one of Beatport’s best ever sellers and PDM ranks #18 in the platforms All Time Top 100 Artists chart. Proving he’s was no one-hit-wonder, the German native recreated his previous chart domination over the next 3 years with a series of classic original tracks including his collaborations with Boris D’lugosch on Defected, L.O.V.E. and ‘Set It Out’, his collaborations with Aeroplane on Spinnin’ Deep, ‘Sambal’ and ‘Counting On Me’, his incredible double ‘Pete Tong Essential New Tune’ the ‘Yo EP’ on Kittball and the unforgettable ‘Magic’ on Exploited.

With chops like this it was no wonder that the global A&R teams came knocking for Purple Disco Machine to add his magic to their releases. Over the last 3 years he has unleashed remix bomb after remix bomb for global music Artists such as:

Gorillaz

Jamiroquai

Two Door Cinema Club
