About Me


Lancashire born and bred, the beat addiction began early for Purpose B. Hip hop will always be his first love, but Purps has grown to love funk, broken beat and basement soul. Purps has enjoyed plenty of good time, good vibe nights - and has warmed up for a long list of greats... DJ Skully, Ohmega Watts, Skinnyman, Giant Panda, People Under the Stairs, Ugly Duckling, Jurrasic 5, Jon Kennedy, DJ Format, Ghost, Scratch Perverts, Yungun and Mr Thing, Goldie, Fabio, DJ Spinna, DJ Vadim + Oneself being highlights. Peeby is looking forward to another good season of boom-bapping as a proud member of the Nocturnal, Subliminal and Route2Roots collectives.

For a diverse blend of hip hop, b-boy and broken beats, with one common theme: dancefloor rocking, hit up with a myspazz message or send an e-mither to [email protected] .
