My Take
Purple Disco Machine, otherwise known as Tino Piontek, makes music that physically refuses to let me sit still. The Dresden-born producer and DJ has done something I deeply respect: he revived nu-disco and house for a modern audience without sanding off the warmth that made the originals great. There is real craftsmanship in how he marries vintage groove to contemporary polish, and a Capricorn-like discipline seems to underpin the architecture of his tracks. I have boundless admiration for anyone who can reliably make a room dance, and he does it with style.
