"Purple Sound" emerged as an offshoot of dubstep in the late 2000s, incorporating influences from 80s synth-funk and grime. The genre is generally less-glitchy and "wobbly" than dubstep, opting for a retro vibe that still relies on the dark and moody beats common to future-garage. Bristol producer Hyetal released "Broadcast" in 2011, an album that sounds like 16-bit music that's been intensified for the club, with sparse but effective vocals and even fewer vocal samples that add just enough funk to this hazy and mysterious record.
