Best Purple Disco Machine Songs
Three tracks show why Purple Disco Machine went from club insider to Grammy remixer: start with Hypnotized and go from there.
The entry point
Press play on "Hypnotized", featuring Sophie and the Giants. This 2020 track is the reason you've probably heard Purple Disco Machine's name without knowing who he was. A stomping bassline, a huge chorus, Sophie and the Giants delivering a vocal that turns the whole thing into an anthem. It peaked at number two on the Italian Singles Chart and went double platinum there. It's the track that took Tino Piontek from club insider to mainstream name, and it's still the clearest introduction to what he does: real basslines, 1970s DNA, production that sounds built for right now.
The solo proof
"Bad Company" (2023) shows what happens when Piontek's production carries the track without a headline feature. No vocal hook to lean on, just funk-house and disco elements doing all the melodic work. This is the moment to hear his instincts front and centre, stripped of any safety net. If "Hypnotized" hooked you on the sound, "Bad Company" proves it wasn't the feature vocal doing all the work.
The evolution
"Heartbreaker" (2024) pairs Purple Disco Machine with Chromeo, two acts built on the same 1970s and 80s funk-disco foundations but filtered through very different production brains. That collaboration released the same year as his album Paradise. It's proof he's not coasting on any single moment, but actively pushing the sound forward into new pairings and territories.
