Purpleman A Go Nice Up The Area

[BMC]

Yes people, here's another special one I'm quite enthousiastic about myself. How often have you seen (if ever!) a mix dedicated to the works of Purpleman? Well, here is one! After having mixes focusing on the works of deejays Nicodemus (2x), Toyan, Papa Tollo and Dillinger, this time it is Purpleman getting the bmc-treatment. Mix of close to 60 minutes, Purpleman tracks combined with some vocal-cuts on the riddims and a few dubs. Same style as always, no full tracks, added soundsamples, all mixed together to one hour of early 80s niceness. Being not too well-known, I hope I can introduce this fine deejay to some of you and for those knowing him, enjoy this showcase of mainly album-tracks.

Sources are given (number behind title combines with list below tracks).

Drop me a comment if you enjoyed the music and effort. Thanks.

Nice one Marc, you have a lot more purple in your collection than me. I had a listen to this one and the 80's rub a dub mix today, and very well put together they both are too, they made my day bounce along nicely.

Hope the blogspot is working well too...

16) Purpleman - No Luck In Trafficating (4)

TUNE!!!!

[BMC]

Cheers Ian, glad you rated 'm. Nice one. The blogspot is working out nicely. Only had a few complainers about zshare or that most mixes are off of podomatic now, but that was a minority. So far I'm well pleased with it. Also love the chat option and the poll, showing modern roots is what my listeners want most. I also have site statistics from sitemeter.com, so yeah, I like it.
Wont have much time for mixing soon though, with our new little lady in the house, so the site wont get much attention for some time.

Yeah hotmilk, big tune that!

It has been nice to see how much positive response I got on this one. The people rate Purpleman it seems!!!

[realrock]

great mix

[soulselector]

Always enjoyed his toast to DC's 'Spread Out', but damned if my first wife back in '83 threw my 12" against a wall during an altercation----at least, the crack only covered the Carlos vocal, and I'd STILL bring it out to just hear Purple Man...

By the by, who WAS Purple Man, and is he still with us??

[kalcidis]

He is still with us from what I know. According to a Swedish guy that was in JA some years ago he is still hanging at the Youth Promotion yard. He was also quite worn down.

Would love to get his contact info to interview him.
