Sometimes necessary, sometimes overrated. When done right may cause frequent outbursts.  HOUSE. Funk. Disco to appease the dancing soul.

Lo - Ti ~ Volume 1

Purple Disco Machine is just about to release his outstanding EP on Tube & Berger and Julie Sikora's Kittball Records. Previously PDM has been at the top of the Beatport charts with his track 'My House' being #1 in the Deep House charts. 

The concept behind the EP is Purple Disco Machine’s contribution to the burgeoning piano house revival that is t1earing up clubs all over the world. By highlighting the piano riff PDM joins the likes of Dusky, Doorly & Shadowchild, MK and Bicep and pays tribute to a classic House sound that has inspired him since he started checking out the scene back in the 1990s.

DJ Mag are very pleased to bring it's readers an exclusive premiere of one of the tracks 'Where We Belong', you can listen below.

‘Where We Belong’ kicks the EP off in suitable style encompassing a combination of clear-cut percussive beats, a thick funky bassline, muted disco guitar riffs, warm piano chords and an infectious female vocal line from House diva Alex Mills which you’ll be singing all night and day – a sure-fire future classic!

The EP, named 'Purple Pianos' is out on Febuary 17th.

HGS 11/16 with The Silver Rider

To be honest, it's criminal that New Jersey native, Flamingosis, hasn't made a Boiler Room appearance yet. The now Brooklyn-based producer has been on our radar for a while, most notably via Sean Keating's regular office stereo plays — this year's future funkified 'Bright Moments' and the hazy brilliance of 'Pleasure Palette' from 2015 especially.

Both of those releases nonchalantly tread the tightrope between hip hop and disco/funk; often smooth and late summer afternoon-themed with the analogue punch of boom bap.

As he's noted in his description, this 50min blend comes after a similalry warm experience in more ways than one. Upfront 089 is blessed with incredible music that is custom-made for afternoon and late evenings spent horizontal. Gritty funk/rap knockers are shock absorbed by downtempo (sometimes saxophone-laced) jams from Flamingosis and his clearly talented group of friends.

Tracklist

Upfront 089: Flamingosis

New on the block and ready for his second release through our friends at https://soundcloud.com/BetterListenRecords is London based https://soundcloud.com/1CodyCurrie. Initially making his name with a couple of outstanding ReWorks doing the rounds on the interweb, Cody's contemporary deep, swung and sampled sound is rapidly becoming attributed to his name as well as scene pioneers such as Max Graef and Fouk.

We are proud to feature the A1 cut off Cody's five track EP entitled "Beer Machine". "Hearty & Healthy" sports a contagiously playful groove, stacked with deep disco stylings, travelling synths and nostalgic vocals which pleasingly, are themes consistent throughout the record.

Cop a copy of Beer Machine and support the guys at Better Listen by following the links provided.
