Purple Disco Machine, "Fireworks" (Ft. The Knocks & Moss Kena) [📷: A Positiva / EMI]DJ, producer & remixer Purple Disco Machine, enlists electronic duo The Knocks and R&B singer Moss Kena for the fantastic “Fireworks.”

If you are in need of a dance record to put a smile on your face, look no further than 🎵 “Fireworks”.  “Fireworks” hails from DJ, producer, and remixer Tino Piontek, better known as 🎙 Purple Disco Machine.  He ultimately produces this colorful dance track and enlists the services of electronic duo 🎙 The Knocks and London R&B artist, 🎙 Moss Kena.

There’s plenty to love about “Fireworks.” The production by Purple Disco Machine is a great starting place – key to success of “Fireworks” by all means.  The backdrop is definitely a vibe with a great beat, robust bass line, rhythmic guitar, keys, and perhaps most uniquely, choir (🎙 Leon Lacey’s Kids Choir and the 🎙 House Gospel Choir).  Woo! The choir is a perfect fit given the energetic, optimistic sound that characterizes this joint.

The work put in by Purple Disco Machine, as well as The Knocks (behind the scenes) is electric – electronic to be precise! That said, Moss Kena is the star, delivering those emphatic lead vocals. From the jump, he nails it, serving up some legitimate ear candy.  Of course, it helps that he has a catchy pre-chorus and chorus to work with, with the choir joining in on the chorus, the centerpiece:

“If you’re ever feelin’ low
You can come and say hello
We all just want some better days and tomorrows
Better days and tomorrows
We all just want some purple greens and blue yellows
Fireworks will make it come.”

Preach!


Final Thoughts 💭

To reiterate (or just copy and paste what was previously stated), “If you are in need of a dance record to put a smile on your face, look no further than ‘Fireworks’ by Purple Disco Machine.” What makes this record so great?  Awesome production/arrangement, excellent choral arrangement, exuberant, intriguing lead vocals, optimism through the roof, and catchy, memorable pre-chorus and choruses.  Lots to like!
