"DJ extraordinaire Purp is a New York City mainstay for a reason. Her audacious song selection and self-assured disposition behind the decks make her a standout in the five boroughs, consistently playing and throwing parties all days of the week. Now, Purp has delivered her first original production in the form of “Ride,” the lead single from her upcoming debut EP. Then/Now is set to release on Suzi Analogue‘s Never Normal Records.
“Ride” is effortlessly sexy. Reverberating vocals repeatedly ask the song’s central question, “Do you wanna go for a ride?,” over booming drums and sparkling synths, producing an ominous yet enticing quality that makes you want to hop in the car and follow Purp wherever she goes. It’s simple, yet effective — a perfect party song, whether you’re pregaming or already in the club." - The Fader
THEN/NOW is a collector's cassette included in the 1MIL REALITIES box set.
