German DJ and producer Purple Disco Machine has unveiled raucous new double-single ‘Emotion’ / ‘Up & Down’, out 19th July via Positiva/Virgin EMI Records. It comes after the Dresden-born artist’s last singles ‘Body Funk’ & ‘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.

Tapping into his trademark disco-house sound, ‘Emotion’ samples 1970s 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 a 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.

Crowned as the #2 Beatport artist of all time, Purple Disco Machine has also been responsible for some of the biggest remixes of the past twelve months, reworking tracks from pop icons Calvin Harris & Rag n Bone Man, Foals, Weiss, Years and Years, Fatboy Slim and Rufus Du Sol.
