I remember Joker, and the sound. Just didn’t know there was a whole named sub-genre attached to it.
I didn’t like it back then either so I guess I stayed away and never learned about it.

my fav joker ridd

i remember back on the old forum, joker said he didn’t have a copy of this ep, so i sent him one of my doubles. got a load of wavs in return. dunno where the fuck those wavs are now but i still have the dubs i cut from them.
think i even paid postage. i shoulda rinsed him for at least £10 tbh.

IMO Purple was one of the most well-rounded subgenres of dubstep when it was big. It aged well too. I think a lot of us (and the genre as a whole) could benefit from taking the slight risk of sounding a bit bro or over the top.

I remember seeing on a dubstep documentary some years ago (it was filmed around the genre’s pre-mainstream heyday) that described dubstep as “influenced a lot by hip hop”. Pretty obvious point to a lot, but listening to this track from last year really reminded me of dubstep, not only in its structure / drum programming, but also its “dreadful” atmosphere.
