We were delighted when Doche sent in his first demo of this song. Despite Kevin living in London, we are still a Scottish label with our registered office in Glasgow. The original recording of this song (by the Average White Band and produced by Arif Mardin) has to be one of the greatest disco tracks conceived by the Scots [1975 US disco chart #11]. So having one of our artists create a new recording for 2024 makes us very proud. Doche takes Hamish Stuart & Roger Ball's guitar & sax melodies and re-wires them to a hot nu-disco beat. We've seen this one in action, and it goes off on the dancefloor. If you're a fan of Purple Disco Machine, this is for you.
Doche is the artist name of Hugo Doche, a multi-instrumentalist, producer and DJ from Belo Horizonte, an hour's flight north of Rio De Janiero in Brazil. Doche is a graduate of the LA Music Academy. His debut release for us was his version of the Donna Summer classic "Bad Girls". On that, his guitar and bass skills, combined with a brilliant vocal from Seattle's Kria McKenzie, delivered the shimmering Purple Disco style delight. His second release, "Million Dollar Bill", recreates the Whitney Houston anthem. This song has been done recently in a house style, but with Doche's disco production and Phebe Edwards' supreme re-interpretation of the song, we think this update has the legs to last as long in the Nu Disco charts as "Bad Girls" (still there, five months after its release!). It's another classy party tune.
