2008: Purple sound
Purple sound emerged in Bristol in late 2008 out of the splintering dubstep scene. The term was coined by British producers Joker, Gemmy, and Guido, who did not intend for it to become its own genre, but rather to describe their own music. It took inspiration from wonky, which it is sometimes considered a part of. It incorporates synth-funk from the 1980s and G-funk production from the 1990s into dubstep, while also introducing many aspects of grime and 8-bit music. Several prominent purple sound artists cite video game music as a large influence. Purple sound later led to the development of future bass.
