not too fond of this term and sub genres in general but i suppose the obvious artists have already been named.

trust me, I'm watching my every word in here, I know exactly how fast threads on this board turn into some argument over something pointless, all I'm trying to do is squeeze out some recommendations for songs similar to the artists mentioned in first post

Purple is tuneful, soulful grime music basically. I think it was Joker who coined the term.

I guess the way I would describe purple would be hip hop/RnB synths over a half time beat with sub bass like normal dubstep, all set at around 140 bpm..please if anyone has a better description of the sub-genre enlighten me.

as for the name idk why it's called that

this article pretty much describes it best

RA wrote:"I had a tune called 'Purple Moon,' which was kind of the beginning of the whole purple thing," Gemmy explains. "Honestly, I just believe that this is a media thing—just a people thing, innit? They just want to put it in the category of 'purple,' so I don't think it depends on what we sound like." Though Gemmy was the first of the three to mention the colour, it was Joker that cemented the term's usage when he spoke to Dub Studio about how imagery inspires him to create his melodious but sub-heavy tracks.
