I miss music like this

[P30]

When I've first heard it on German radio a few days ago, it immediately reminded me of the great music of Miami Vice, Gloria Estefan & The Miami Sound Machine from the 80s. Like a blast from the past:

Hypnotized

Then I've researched it, the resemblance is no coincidence:

wdr.de/radio/1live:

Purple Disco Machine comes from Dresden and has been celebrating international success as a DJ, with remixes and his own tracks. With Sophie and the Giants he gets a young band from Sheffield for "Hypnotized". [...] Purple Disco Machine came to music through his father, who influenced him early with funk sounds from the 70s and 80s.

wdr.de/radio/wdr2:

Behind the deep-funk project Purple Disco Machine is disco house producer Tino Piontek. The name of his prestige project was not chosen by chance, because for the 40-year-old Dresdener it is a kind of homage to Gloria Estefan's Latino dance combo "Miami Sound Machine" and the funk sounds of US singer Prince. It creates a delicious mixture of 80s disco, funk and synth-pop.

(The quotes above are machine translations.)

Thanks to Robbie Lawler for the reminder.

I’ll be damned. Respect.

Seems easy but one also feels a greatness - real art:

Purple Disco Machine - Live from Dresden

This is the main person behind Purple Disco Machine, who made the song "Hypnotized" that I linked above. I feel immediately 30 years younger, when I hear and see this. Back in the 80s! Now I should finally grow a mustache and wear a jogging suit.

For some reason, this showed up in my YouTube feed. As a fan of Danzig and Dicso (unapologetic), I cant say I hate it...

^^^^I saw Al Di Meola when he was with Chick Corea and Return to Forever. The man could play.

Even though it worked for this piece, it's kinda odd seeing him flatpicking an Ovation while doing flamenco-inspired stuff.

Now that I think of it, I saw him in later years playing solo and with his own accompanists.

I love Suzy Boguss.
