Purple Disco Machine, the reigning king of disco, joins forces with hottest British band of the moment Nothing But Thieves, to deliver a captivating new single 'Something on my Mind.' The dynamic collaboration showcases a twist on the typical Purple Disco Machine sound - this time leaning into electronic indie pop with shimmering synth textures, a bubbling electro bassline, and Nothing But Thieves’ unmistakeable vocals. The unique blend of genres from both artists is further enhanced by the dynamic production of the band’s vocals by Dom Craik and the co-production of the backing track by chart topping producer Duke Dumont, who has a friendship with Purple Disco Machine borne out of playing shows together over the years, and a mutual respect for each other's work.
This concept for a collaboration blossomed from a deep mutual respect shared between the two artists. Purple Disco Machine has long been an admirer of the indietronica sound, as evidenced by his remixes for artists like Foals , Two Door Cinema Club , Balthazar , New Order and Royal Blood . When Nothing But Thieves approached him with a request to remix a track from their latest album, Purple Disco Machine had a different proposition in mind. Instead, he proposed the idea of creating something entirely original together. Enthusiastically embracing this notion, the band eagerly joined forces, resulting in the birth of 'Something On My Mind.'
With its shimmering synth-stabs, 'Something On My Mind' wastes no time in captivating the listener with its irresistible groove. Supported by a pulsating electro bassline, each verse builds anticipation, paving the way for a euphoric chorus where Conor Mason's vocals soar to his iconic falsetto disco-bliss heights. Clocking in at a blistering three and a half minutes, this indie dance anthem is poised to win over a fresh wave of admirers for both Purple Disco Machine and Nothing But Thieves, flawlessly melding their distinct sounds into an exhilarating musical fusion.

Lyrics:
I'm not interested in love in a soundbite
Or skipping mid way through the night
Don't wanna cut down to the obvious highlights
You've gone too long unsatisfied
How does it feel
When you lie awake
Ignore the ache
Just to get through?
How does it feel
When you lie awake?
Well are you dreaming of me?
'cause there's something on my mind
Yeah my heart tried to warn me
But there's something on my mind
I wanna say that thing that pulls you in closer
That makes you hold on to a life
I tried to write something that moves the future
But that's not what you want tonight
How does it feel
When you lie awake
Ignore the ache
Just to get through?
How does it feel
When you lie awake?
Well are you dreaming of me?
'Cause there's something on my mind
Yeah my heart tried to warn me
But there's something on my mind
And I'm not ready to give you up
And I'm not ready to give you up
How does it feel
When you lie awake
Ignore the ache
Just to get through?
How does it feel
When you lie awake?
