Purple Sound emerged in Bristol in late 2008 out of the splintering Dubstep scene and 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 Chiptune. (Several prominent Purple Sound artists cite video game music as a large influence.) It 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 MCs are uncommon.
