Few artists can push the fringes of a scene quite like Loco Dice. With ‘Purple Jam,’ his fourth studio album, out now via Astralwerks, the Düsseldorf icon delivers a bold, genre-melding musical statement. It’s a record soaked in both swag and sound design, pulling influence from hip-hop’s grit, house music’s flow, and techno’s punch, all glazed with Loco Dice’s signature sense of chunky rhythms, raw relentless groove, and resistance to boundaries.

Following his seismic appearance at Coachella’s Quasar Stage and EDC Las Vegas, ‘Purple Jam’ arrives as a 12-track testament to decades spent working at the forefront of club culture. Drawing in friends and stellar collaborators alike, including The Martinez Brothers, Skrillex, Carl Cox, Trinidad Jones, & more, the project doesn’t follow a trend, it furrows its own path.

As his fourth full-length offering, ‘Purple Jam’ is a map of Loco Dice’s musical DNA: cross-genre, cross-generational, and cross-cultural. Shaped by decades behind the decks and deep connections to the scenes he’s lived through, it’s a collection that feels rooted in history while wired for tomorrow.

‘Purple Jam’ is available here.
