Written by PRINCE, 'PURPLE MUSIC' saw it's only light of day on a 1982 bootleg tape circulated among die-hard fans. This is the first time, to our knowledge, that anyone has covered or remixed this obscure, incredibly funky gem of a tune. Rising star and San Francisco singer/songwriter/vocalist JROD INDIGO resurrected 'PURPLE MUSIC' as 'INDIGO MUSIC,' using the song to devastating effect as a cornerstone of his live performances, and eventually recording his distinctive version for his debut INFECTIOUS EP. We were floored. Our mission was clear: apply some top notch remix pressure to the gorgeous original and hot damn if we didn't come up with this diverse, dancefloor-levelling humdinger of a 12 inch. Dig it the most. Ruffy & Tuffy dub heads right for the hardwood, with rumpshaker drums, percolating bassline, and stripped-to-the-bone-vocals jacking the beats. Joyful chaos ensues. Original Infectious Mix is a raw, slinky, midtempo grinder. Equal parts new soul, house, and the straight funk, JROD updates the Prince sound in high style, replete with live guitar and keys, spongy bass and a snappy beat. Perfect for the radio if it wasn't owned by Satan Our friend SEAN DIMITRIE, working solo and in cahoots with heads up producer DJ ALI, has released a slew of outstanding music for labels of distinction everywhere. SEAN's rework-ing puts JROD's full vocal to work right upfront as well as adding an amazing backing vocal track courtesy TIM FULLER. He caps it off with a mean walking bassline, sparse yet smacking beats, and, as always, brilliant arrangement.'
