Purple Disco Machine Drops His Disco Cherry Chart
Toni Suter, the Dresden-born force behind Purple Disco Machine, has always understood that curation is as powerful as creation. His Disco Cherry Chart is a nine-track manifesto that maps the intersection of nu disco, house, and electronic pop with the precision of someone who has spent years shaping — not just following — the genre's evolution.
A Chart That Plays Like a Set
Opening with Disco Cherry (Extended Mix) on his home label Sweat It Out — 124 BPM, E Minor, pure funky bass warmth — the chart immediately establishes its identity: sophisticated floor-ready music with soul. Groove Armada's Love's Theme for Glitterbox Recordings follows at 124 BPM, a six-minute house journey that feels both contemporary and timeless, exactly what you'd expect from the legendary British duo.
Boys Noize and Kungs' Get Away (127 BPM, Polydor France) injects a harder, more driving energy, while Purple Disco Machine's own extended remix of Weiss (UK)'s Feel My Needs for Toolroom at 122 BPM stands as one of the chart's finest moments: deep, swinging house that showcases his remixing skills as sharply as his original productions.
Key Tracks
- Better – Baauer (LUCKYME.): At 130 BPM, a refined dance/pop statement from a producer often underestimated outside peak-hour contexts. A genuine chart highlight.
- Talk To You – ANOTR & 54 Ultra (NO ART): The fastest cut at 132 BPM in G Minor. NO ART continues to cement itself as one of Europe's most compelling underground house imprints.
- Ghost Town feat. Retrosonix – Purple Disco Machine (Sweat It Out): A cinematic nu disco closer running six minutes and twenty-one seconds at 130 BPM. Sweeping, emotional, and utterly commanding — the track that justifies the entire chart.
Rounding out the selection, Amirali's Endless High on Mélopée Records brings a contemplative shimmer, while The Reflex's revision of Who's Who's Palace Palace (Zagora, 130 BPM) delivers classic disco energy reframed for modern floors. Across nine tracks and five genre tags, Purple Disco Machine reminds us why his taste remains as authoritative as his sound design.
