Honered, delighted and extreeeeeemly happy to announce the dynamic duo, Purple Crush at this year’s TrailerPark !!
Husband and wife duo and big sis and brother to the emerging Brooklyn electro movement, Purple Crush have become a staple to the New York underground as well as the internet’s worldwide dance music community.
Isla and Jared met at artschool in California where they studied dance and music respectively, but it wasn’t until they migrated to Brooklyn that they conceived Purple Crush. Always with a strong pop sensibility, they have explored different sounds, ranging from hip-hop, funk, dance, rock, and electro, and over the years, have compiled a catalogue of music that paints a purple picture.
Part of what makes Purple Crush so alluring is their live show. Isla stands out as one of the strongest in the field, pulling her years of dance training together with her raw take on club dance styles, while Jared provides a constant groove, whether as a dj, tweaking a drum machine, or shredding a guitar solo worthy of guitar god status.
Under their own label, Crushed Records, Purple Crush have released numerous albums and singles, claiming collaborations with Baltimore Club legend, Scottie B, and New York icon and Electroclash founder, Larry Tee, to name a few. This year, with a new album well under way, they also plan on releasing a compilation of New York producers and MCs, as well as an EP from their first artist, Mike Genius.
