An artist who refuses to be pigeonholed, Piontek has managed to remain on the cutting edge while dipping his toes into various sub-genres. The Purple Disco Machine project first gained traction in 2009, rooted in a distinct Deep Funk-branded Disco House music style. Although the initial journey had its ups and downs, it was the 2013 release of "My House" that marked a turning point. The track topped the Beatport Deep House charts and became a defining moment that signaled his arrival in the mainstream. Purple Disco Machine's star really started to soar in 2018. A particular highlight was his ingenious reworking of "Male Stripper" by Man 2 Man called "(Dished) Male Stripper", that utilized one of many riffs from the iconic Loleatta Holloway. This remix effortlessly blended the camp of the original 90s techno track with a pulsating, contemporary beat, winning acclaim in both underground and mainstream dance clubs. It even earned a spot on our "Top Dance Songs of the Year" series. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3I5SKItOWeI Beyond these accomplishments, he's showcased an exceptional range of adaptability. The artist has worked with a plethora of dance music's crème de la crème, from Jamiroquai and New Order to Faithless and Claptone. His transformative power as a producer has allowed songs by Hercules & Love Affair, Sigma with Paloma Faith, and even our personal favorite, Shapeshifters, to get a new lease on life on the dance floor. And it's not just his older works that keep us intrigued; he's also turned his creative flair towards newer chart-toppers. From the soulful beats of Lady Gaga & Ariana Grande's "Rain On Me" to the pulsing energy of Weiss' "Feel My Needs," his Midas touch seems to know no bounds. With each collaboration or remix, he reimagines the musical landscape, as seen with The Human League's "Don't You Want Me," Claptone & Mylo's "Drop The Pressure," and the latest offering, "Hypnotized," featuring Sophie & The Giants. Purple Disco Machine has crafted a unique Funky House style that seamlessly integrates into multiple genres. Far from being pigeonholed, his musical approach works wonders with pop anthems and underground House tracks alike. He has a particular affinity for Indie artists such as Hercules & Love Affair and Sophie & The Giants. This chameleon-like ability allows him to take any track, whether it's an iconic classic or an overlooked gem, and transform it into an irresistible dance floor magnet.

With each set, it becomes abundantly clear that Moran isn't just a one-hit-wonder; he's an industry titan whose flair for remixing and production has left an indelible mark on dance music. Moran's breadth of work is impressive, to say the least. Whether contributing tracks for his own "Event" compilations or lending his Midas touch to other artists, he's accumulated an astonishing number of chart-topping songs—many reaching the zenith of the Dance Club charts, while others have conquered various other charts, including the illustrious Hot 100. Tony Moran is more than just a studio genius; he's a stage phenomenon. Over the years, his live performances have gained almost mythical status, drawing packed houses worldwide. In many ways, he's paved the way for the next generation of DJ-producer-entertainers like Calvin Harris, David Guetta, Skrillex, and Avicii, who've transitioned their talents from the studio to colossal live shows. Let's talk about some of the spectacular songs that are featured in this volume. "Real Love" by Deborah Cooper is a testament to Moran's ability to infuse classic house elements with a modern touch. Then there's "Keep Your Body Workin'" featuring Martha Wash, which has become an anthemic number that resonates across dance floors. Annie Lennox's "Into The West" takes on a new dimension under Moran's expert touch, transforming it into a dance track that retains its original emotional power. Ben Platt’s "Waving Through A Window," featuring the Original Broadway Cast of Dear Evan Hansen, showcases Moran's knack for traversing genres. He managed to turn a Broadway ballad into a danceable tune without losing an ounce of its raw emotion. Jennifer Lopez's "Qué Hiciste" gets a sultry, rhythmic overhaul that showcases J.Lo's vocal prowess in a completely new light. Moran’s remix of "Give It Up" by Kevin Aviance is a pulsating extravaganza, and “I’d Rather Be Me” from the cast of Mean Girls is a delightful surprise, as he spins its youthful energy into dance gold. In conclusion, Tony Moran is not just surviving in this industry; he’s thriving and evolving. Each set in this Legacy series reveals another layer of his multifaceted talents, and this third volume is no different. We're excited to showcase these and many more tracks that exemplify the genius of Tony Moran—a legend whose legacy only continues to grow. Until the next time...ENJOY!

Volume 3 of this Legacy series is a kaleidoscopic journey through his remarkable catalog, blending the commercial with the underground in a way that only Rosario can. When you think of Ralphi Rosario, it's hard not to jump straight to chart-toppers like Lady Gaga & Ariana Grande's "Rain On Me" or the Black Eyed Peas' "RITMO"—both remixed by Rosario and rapturously received over the past year. But, Rosario's influence stretches far beyond these blockbuster hits. Take, for example, his remix of Cher's "Gimme! Gimme! Gimme! (A Man After Midnight)," a splashy and effervescent tune that turns every dance floor into a vibrant spectacle. It's a refreshing testament to Rosario's genius: knowing just what a track needs to transform from good to iconic. Rosario's scope isn't just confined to the latest hits. Remember Barry Manilow's "Copacabana 2005"? Rosario's reimagining breathed new life into this classic, taking us on a sonic vacation to that mythical club where "music and passion were always in fashion." The collaboration between Rosabel and Jennifer Holliday on "And I'm Telling You I'm Not Going" is nothing short of iconic in the gay community and beyond. This power-packed anthem, originally from the Broadway musical 'Dreamgirls,' was given a transformative Rosabel remix that thrust it straight back into the spotlight. With Holliday's impassioned vocals layered over Rosabel's rhythmic, high-energy beats, the song becomes more than a show-stopping number; it becomes an emblem of resilience and self-empowerment making one of the all-time favorite gay anthems. This Rosabel remix is not just another track on a playlist; it's an auditory experience that uplifts, unites, and gives voice to the struggles and triumphs of the LGBTQ+ community. The song pulses through dancefloors and Pride parades alike, serving as an enduring testament to Rosabel's and Jennifer Holliday's indelible marks on both music and culture. Stevie Nicks' "Stand Back," another gem given the Rosario treatment, illuminates the diversity of his repertoire, showing he can adapt his style to bring out the best in rock-flavored dance tunes. Then, he'll pivot effortlessly to soulful classics like Donna Summer's "Hot Stuff," adding a contemporary spark without tarnishing the original's fiery essence. The intoxicating "F$ck Your Boyfriend (F.U.B.F.)" co-crafted with Frankie Catalano is another cornerstone that showcases Rosario's risk-taking and rebellious spirit. This audacious track has been a guilty pleasure for many and adds to the Rosario enigma.
