NOTHING BUT THIEVES Vinyl & CDs

Review: Purple Disco Machine makes the sort of warm, colourful and feel-good sounds that have united festival crowds all over the world since he first broke through. For his latest tune he has worked with UK chart-topper Duke Dumont on a single, 'Something On My Mind' which melts nostalgic disco goodness with fresh and contemporary production. It is jin indie-tinged cut with vintage synths and groove-driven basslines with vocals from rising band Nothing But Thieves, whom Purple Disco Machine remixed not so long ago. This is another crossover hit in the making for disco-revivalists Purple Disco Machine and it comes on a 12" that is limited to 300 copies.

Review: English rock band Nothing But Thieves are now just over a decade into their career but Dead Club City is already their fourth album. It has been preceded by the lead single 'Welcome to the DCC', a punchy and confident track that embodies the album's energy. The lyrics are sonically on point and show the band has managed to adapt and evolve as they head into this new creative chapter. Their sound might be rooted in rock, then, but they draw on experimental funk and 80's influences with bright synths and soaring choruses that bring inescapable tension.
