Purple Disco Machine Brings the Glitter to Dubai’s Bohemia Beach Club
Defected at Bohemia — Purple Disco Machine, DiOSA & Kori Hall
Saturday 8 November • from 5pm • Bohemia Beach Club, FIVE Palm Jumeirah
If you love house music that actually smiles back at you, this is your weekend sorted. Defected is rolling into Dubai with a lineup built for good-energy dancers: Purple Disco Machine headlines alongside DiOSA and Kori Hall. Sea breeze, skyline glow, disco glitter — job done.
Why We’re Excited..
Purple Disco Machine
Leipzig’s groove scientist arrives in Dubai fresh off his GRAMMY-winning streak. Tino Piontek has spent years perfecting the art of disco-house that feels both retro and right-now — think rubbery basslines, Italo nudges, and those big chorus moments that get strangers grinning at each other.
His calling cards are crisp, quantized drums around 118-124 BPM, side-chained bass that bounces without being obvious, and hooks you’ll catch yourself humming days later. If Hypnotized, In The Dark, or Substitution ever rescued your night, you already know the feeling: shoulders up, hands half-raised without thinking about it.
On stage, he’s tidy rather than showy — long, key-matched blends and patient filter rides that lift the chorus without killing the groove. Expect sleek, sun-lit house music engineered for outdoor moments exactly like this one.
For fans of: Chromeo, The Magician, Oliver, anything with sunshine baked into the bassline.
DiOSA
Selector’s touch, dancer’s ear. DiOSA leans into rolling house with Afro-tinged percussion, glossy synths, and pocket-perfect transitions — golden-hour music that makes crowds breathe together. She reads the floor like a conversation, letting grooves live for those extra bars that matter.
Kori Hall
Your early-doors invitation to stop chatting and start moving. Kori brings upbeat, good-mood house with piano stabs, bouncing bass, and crisp drums. Think clean blends, cheeky edits, and zero fuss — classic Defected feel-good that gets the sand moving.
How the Night Flows
Bohemia starts warm and easy, then leans into the sing-alongs. The smart move is arriving around 5:30pm — find your pocket on the sand and let Kori set the table as Dubai’s light softens into something magical.
DiOSA takes twilight and stretches time beautifully, drums getting a shade darker, synths turning shinier. Purple Disco Machine lands in the headline window (typically 8:30pm-11pm), so being inside before 9pm keeps you safe for the big chorus moments.
The Setting & Vibe
Open-air to the sea, Dubai skyline at your back, palm trees catching the lights — Bohemia Beach Club does disco-house in the wild exactly right. The sound system is tight, sightlines are friendly, and this crowd actually cheers a clean blend. It’s big enough for proper sing-alongs, small enough to find your corner.
Getting There & What to Wear
Ride-hail wins on the Palm — makes arrival and exit painless. The Palm Monorail plus a short walk works if you prefer calm pre-game vibes.
It’s sand and dancing, so dress smart: trainers or grippy sandals beat heels every time, beach-smart fits always work, and sequins never feel out of place here. Pack a light layer for sea breeze after dark.
Entry is 21+ with physical ID required — Emirates ID, passport, or driving license all work.

This is house music made for friends who like their weekends with proper sparkle. Defected knows how to throw a party, Purple Disco Machine knows how to soundtrack it, and Bohemia knows how to frame it all against Dubai’s best backdrop.
See you on the sand — good energy required, sparkly shirt optional.
