If you’re ready to lose yourself in a night of pure house bliss, let’s break down why this collaboration is a must-listen and how these Dortmund-based artists are shaking up the scene.
A Groove That Defines House: Unpacking “This Is House Music”
From the first beat, “This Is House Music” grabs you and doesn’t let go. Purple Palms and Paul Schneyder craft a track that’s both a nod to classic house and a fresh take on modern tech house. The rolling bassline is the heartbeat, driving the track with relentless energy that’s perfect for peak-time club sets. Layered over it are crisp percussion and subtle vocal chops that add just the right amount of soul, making it feel like a party anthem you’ve known forever.
What stands out is the track’s vibe—positive, uplifting, and unapologetically fun. Purple Palms’ signature feel-good style shines through, while Paul Schneyder (also known from his work with 2 Electronic Souls) brings a polished edge with his knack for catchy hooks. The production is tight, with enough space for the elements to breathe, letting DJs work their magic in the mix. It’s no wonder this track is getting love at events like Palmlands Records’ “Stay on the Beach” at Oma Doris in Dortmund, where the crowd eats up its infectious energy.
Meet the Minds Behind the Music
Purple Palms is a Dortmund-based DJ and producer who’s been a staple in the local tech house scene since founding his Palmlands collective in 2019 (rebranded in 2022). As a resident at venues like Herr Walter and Silent Sinners Club, he’s mastered the art of reading a room, delivering sets that keep the energy high and the crowd smiling. His events, like the “Summer Vibe” at Herr Walter and the Palmlands Rooftop Party, are legendary for their tropical, feel-good atmosphere.
Paul Schneyder, meanwhile, brings his own flavor to the table. Known for his work in tech house and electro house, he’s part of the duo 2 Electronic Souls, with releases like “Here We Are” making waves on labels like Eisenwaren. His ability to blend nostalgic house elements with modern production gives “This Is House Music” its universal appeal. Together, these two create a track that’s as much for the underground heads as it is for the festival crowd.
