More purple
“It’s not a genre, but purple is the colour we all get along with,” says Joker, whose latest release is called Purple City. One of Gemmy’s first tracks was called Purple Moon, and a Purple Wow album from the three of them is in the planning stages, in addition to their forthcoming solo albums.
“When you hear a song, you envisage things: soul music is mahogany, basslines are yellow,” says Joker. This seems as good a point as any for me to ask if they are aware of synaesthesia, a dissociation of the senses that causes those with the condition to “hear” in colour, or to “taste” sound.
“It doesn’t surprise me, because the human brain is extraordinary – we don’t even use most of it,” says Joker. “I wouldn’t say I suffer from synaesthesia, but I can hear a sound and write a colour down. My friend was playing me a tune the other day, and I’m like, ‘Your bassline sounds kind of orange.’”

Gemmy, DJ and producer from Bristol
“Today, three of the brightest hopes of the new Bristol sound are sitting in a beer garden, humming Sonic the Hedgehog and Street Fighter game themes, and downing cranberry sambucas. This is not how one imagines the future of British dance music. The three are 21-year-old Guy “Guido” Middleton, 23-year-old Jemal “Gemmy” Philips, and a third man, 20 years old, who leans in and gives his full name slowly and carefully to the dictaphone as “Joker … Joker”.”
