Usually includes synths as a main component and avoids the bass 'wobble' and 2-step common in Dubstep. The majority of tracks are instrumental, and currently MCs are uncommon.

Well, here's a genre I've never heard of before.

LoathsomePete 08-19-2012 12:49 PM
I've honestly never heard of this subgenre before, or any of the artists featured in that RYM article. The only album I can think of as "wonky" is the artist Tipper and his 2008 album Wobble Factor, but I think I may be confusing the genres.



So maybe this?

I have never heard of this. Now I really want to know what it sounds like.

This actually sounds really interesting, especially the G Funk/general funk element.

Who nominated this one?

^I don't think anybody did. I think it was what was on the calendar next. However, it looks like Electroclash is the active theme right now.

I know it's from the calendar, but the calendar was created by people nominating genres. I was wondering if whoever nominated it is still around and if they have any suggestions of artists for this genre.

Ahh. I wasn't aware of that. My mistake.

Though, it seems like an interesting genre. Be it, not a lot of people have heard of it.

Rustie is considered Purple Sound? It sounds like instrumental Trap music to me

jackhammer 09-10-2012 05:32 PM
Never heard of the genre either.

HiDef 09-10-2012 10:19 PM
Blackmill is considered Purple Sound too? I always just saw him as dubstep.

I'm starting to doubt the credibility of this genre tag
