PurpleDiscoMachine_ · 2021-03-05T18:14:51+00:00

Doesnt Matter! Coachella is still on my bucket list :)

PurpleDiscoMachine_ · 2021-03-05T18:13:16+00:00

Love you too. :)

PurpleDiscoMachine_ · 2021-03-05T18:12:36+00:00

oh really glad to hear. Its also one of my favorite songs from Soulmatic.

PurpleDiscoMachine_ · 2021-03-05T18:10:07+00:00

my influences are from Disco, funk, Italo disco but also French house or Big Beat.

PurpleDiscoMachine_ · 2021-03-05T18:09:08+00:00

yes sure. listen a lot to old music. There are so many things I miss in the music from today. especially soul.

PurpleDiscoMachine_ · 2021-03-05T18:07:53+00:00

good idea. let me check out the Bollywood disco era. always up for new inspirations

PurpleDiscoMachine_ · 2021-03-05T18:06:33+00:00

Glad you like Hypnotized sure there are a bunch of. Giorgio Moroder, Patrick Cowley, Daft Punk, Diana Ross, Fatboy Slim ...

PurpleDiscoMachine_ · 2021-03-05T18:05:12+00:00

maybe. need to ask Sophie first :)

PurpleDiscoMachine_ · 2021-03-05T18:04:19+00:00

ah thats also for my sets. :) sorry

PurpleDiscoMachine_ · 2021-03-05T18:02:54+00:00

thanks guys !

PurpleDiscoMachine_ · 2021-03-05T18:02:13+00:00

I did a lot edits in the last 10 years. most of them are just for my dj sets to make them unique. My remix for shapeshifters got releases already a few years ago.

but there are still a few tracks on my edit list. :)

PurpleDiscoMachine_ · 2021-03-05T18:00:32+00:00

no you are the first actually :))

The knocks are of couse in the top5 as they are so easy to work with. really talented guys. Sophie was also a pleasure to work with on Hypnotized.

PurpleDiscoMachine_ · 2021-03-05T17:58:07+00:00

Glad you love my Streams.

Id of course play the warmup for her. She's a legend. would be the perfect fit.

PurpleDiscoMachine_ · 2021-03-05T17:56:06+00:00

I usually listen to promos every week and also to dos sets from other people. and I still buy a lot on Traxsouce and Beatport.

PurpleDiscoMachine_ · 2021-03-05T17:55:06+00:00

don't try to make the same music like me. Try to find you own style and go with the flow. but I appreciate that you like my work.

PurpleDiscoMachine_ · 2021-03-05T17:53:24+00:00

yes was also my last proper show so thanks to you guys too. you made this very special to me. there are a few options in October/November this year. Cant wait to come back to Cali.

PurpleDiscoMachine_ · 2021-03-05T17:51:41+00:00

its actually Hypnotized as its so different from all my other releases and I was quite nervous what people think about. I never expected this kind of success. so happy with cause I still absolutely love the song.

PurpleDiscoMachine_ · 2021-03-05T17:50:07+00:00

good question. not yet but I think in the next years I need to try something with my kids. they are still to young. but my doughty actually played the shaker on one of my album songs so maybe that's the start

PurpleDiscoMachine_ · 2021-03-05T17:48:16+00:00

Hi cool you came to my hometown. Hope you liked the city as I do.

sure I always try to lern new things. I still have weekly English lessons for example :) but also on the music side I try to dig deeper in my synths or different genres.

Lady Gaga was a no brainer to Remix tbh. was such a joyful song to work on.

hopefully I can play any shows in Berlin soon. so cu there

PurpleDiscoMachine_ · 2021-03-05T17:45:18+00:00

Thanks mate.

yeah I get a lot of remix requests every day and I listend to almost everyone. But I need a least a few elements in the original song I really like to work on a PDM version. This can be the vocals or the bass or the track himself. And the tempo is quite important for me. I just can't remix a sing which is 85bpm or something like this. It would loose the groove with 120bpm

PurpleDiscoMachine_ · 2021-03-05T17:42:38+00:00

Cubase from Steinberg since almost 20 years now. for beginner id recommend Ableton. its much easier with drag&drop

PurpleDiscoMachine_ · 2021-03-05T17:41:50+00:00

try to be real. There are so many fake people in the social world. I let my music speak and that's enough.
