Review: Floorfillers deliver the third in a series of original EPs, following three prefatory Edits editions, which first laid out the label's modus vivendi as brim-fillers of the dancefloor. The unknown artist behind this one hears the white horse of reason steered in the direction of paradise: perhaps drawing on a similar and widely recognised French house release of similar repute and name, 'Paradise (Special Edition)' brings string-caked and softly intoned FM leads to an overall peaky emoter. For fans of The Paradise or Rising Sun, this is another bony labyrinth of progressive house bliss.
Review: Nick and Astro, known collectively as Potatohead People, join forces once again on a tantalising teaser 7" from their upcoming album, Eat Your Heart Out'. Featured on 'Paradise' is the highly hyped Canadian artist Diamond Cafe, whose velvety vocals grace this early 80s-inspired blend of digital sex funk that will remind you of Sade, El Debarge, and Prefab Sprout. Describing his music as "bathing in a cloud of honey on a very foggy night," Diamond Cafe's performance is nothing short of magic here. On the flipside, Nick Wisdom puts his spin on the track, infusing it with dub elements and enhancing the bassline.
Review: Stevie Wonder has many classics in his incomparable oeuvre and many of them have been remixed with varying degrees of success. 'Paradise' is one from the mid-70s on his Songs in the Key of Life album and here it gets a house rework. It's got some brilliantly dusty Motor City house vibes to it with busy synth arps riding up and down the scale next to more smeared, serene chords. The flispside Kneedeep dub is more percussive with chopped-up vocals, disco-fried beats and a little more vibrancy to it for some playful party times.

Review: Dresden producer Purple Disco Machine presents his third studio album Paradise, riffing off his mature and developed passion for the intersection of house and disco. Building on the intense fervour for hits such as 'Hypnotized', 'Fireworks', 'Dopamine' and 'Substitution' comes this new lilac-hued opus. Implicitly nodding at the legacy of pop music's most short lived star, Prince - his ultimately symbolic, purple reign - Purple Disco Machine, as the name suggests, machinates the essence of such a sound in nu-disco form, successfully tributing to the new age of disco and once again sporting a star cast of features

Review: Purple Disco Machine's third studio album Paradise, sees the Dresden producer enjoying his ongoing love affair with that sweet spot between house and disco and building on previous floorpleasing like 'Hypnotized', 'Fireworks', 'Dopamine' and 'Substitution'. There's a serious dollop of the influence of Prince on this one, too - the clue is in that Purple name - and an all star cast of guests, from Jake Shears to Nile Rogers, give the vibes a serious boost too.
