Swedish duo PURPL PoP caused a stir with the video for their debut single ‘The Way’. This Saturday September 4th they make their UK debut at our 13th birthday party. We caught up with the Swedish duo…
We’re really excited that you’ll be playing at our 13th birthday party. We think it’s a pretty special line-up, including some of our favourite artists. Can we expect any special birthday surprises (musical or otherwise!) from yourself?
It’s gonna be a great night with one of the best line ups I’ve seen in a long time since we are in it, jokes aside it’s gonna be big. Were from Sweden but know of Chew The Fats influence in pioneering new sounds so it’s great that something so real and honest can last and get bigger and better year after year, big up! In terms of birthday gifts…we can cut the cake if need be.
it’s your birthday party. Who would be playing?
Jamiroquai, Prince, James Brown (he will resurrect for our event), Dizzee Rascal, Daft Punk.
Money no object… what would you ask for?
State of the art music studio with like 69 rooms and like the basement of the studio is actually a beach resort, and 69 musical, female, beautiful waitresses in the studios screwing the sounds for us on our custom made purpl pop synths.
Favourite party game?
We don’t play games (terminator voice)
How old were you when you starting producing / DJing?
We both have been musically involved since a young age. Skoog was forced to start playing the flute as it was compulsory in school and Le’Andres mother sent him to private piano lessons at the toddler ages in hope that his handwriting would become more neat…it didn’t!
What is next for you? Where will you be in 13 years time?
For us it’s just about spreading the music and love all around the world, and in 13 years time we will be playing at Chew The Fats 26th birthday party.
In 13 years time apart from your relatives, do you think anyone else will know who you are?!
Doubt it!
What’s your most vivid teenage memory?
Le’Andre – Stealing ice hockey cards from a sports store and my mother letting me know that if I do it again she will personally chop of my hands.
Skoog – Rapping infront of my whole school at 14 years of age, when I was finished rapping the whole school wanted me dead.
Any final words for wisdom for us as we become a teenagers?

Hello there. Incognito Records is an all-new, underground record label that specializes in Dubstep and Drum & Bass. We were set up in June 2010 by four young people to deliver quality music releases to the masses that love and support the genres. All our releases are available in digital format (MP3) as well as physical format (Vinyl).
We're working on getting our first Dubstep release out into stores by the end of this year. We hope that we will "last" as a record label and we have carefully planned all our finances and releases for months to come therefore we are confident that we will be a successful and long-lasting record label.
Our first two releases are as follows:
At the moment, we are trying to gain more contacts, friends and respect. We're running a competition on our Facebook fan page to win a t-shirt (UK only, sorry!); http://www.facebook.com/incognitorecords/. We also plan to run more competitions in the future - so keep your eyes peeled.
If you wish to hear a selection of our signed tracks (ready for Vinyl release), then please listen to our preview on SoundCloud; http://soundcloud.com/incognitorecords/
