Purple Disco Machine 'Walls' EP (Kitball)
We‘ve long been fans of Purple Disco Machine, not least for a healthy workrate that’s seen him release on labels such as Toolroom, Defected and Exploited. His latest release, for Tube and Berger’s Kittball Records, is a memorable track with skipping drums, guitar licks and a powerful male vocal; normally, it would be hard to top his original version, but Jeudi Records man Monte takes it to a tougher place with the relentless bass, sturdy drums and expanding synth swells of his mix. Elsewhere, meanwhile, ‘Drumatic’ has a keen sense of fun, with its infectious sax line and keys making it sound like Mr Scruff jamming with James Curd.
