Purple Disco Machine Delivers Defected Set at Iconic Dresden Semperoper

Defected In The House with Purple Disco Machine, filmed at Dresden's Semperoper, is now available on YouTube (Wednesday 30 October 6PM GMT.)

Back in May this year, we relaunched Defected In The House as part of our 25^th anniversary celebrations. The reinvention of In The House features premium live stream sets via YouTube and DJ mixes available on Apple Music, beginning in May 2024 with TSHA.

Today, In The House hosts a house icon from the upper echelons, Purple Disco Machine. Known for his instantly recognisable sonic aesthetic, Tino Piontek aka PDM continues to champion the sound of modern, nu disco and house like no other.

Filmed in his hometown of Dresden, the location holds personal significance for Purple Disco Machine following the release of his third studio album Paradise:

“For me, Paradise is here - my home. That’s why I Invited most of the artists, almost every artist to Dresden, to my Paradise, to write and record the whole album here. So the last two and a half years was being in Paradise, being surrounded by all these amazing artists, and also being a little bit of a guide, showing them my city was pretty amazing.” - Excerpt from In Conversation with Purple Disco Machine, a video interview with Tino Pointek exclusive to sign-ups also out on Wednesday 30th.

The venue also holds cultural and historical significance, with Semperoper Dresden being one of the world’s most iconic opera houses - hosting premieres from legendary late romantic composers including Wagner and Strauss.

In the hallowed halls of cream and gold, prepare for a glossy, synthy set packed full of sweeping electronic dance music from the mind of Purple Disco Machine – available on Youtube right now.
