Released a few days ago on Purple Theory Records, Codename Purple is a mesmerizing sonic journey produced by some of Oslo’s very best: Draagen & Dummy Thicc. Taking on the boundaries of hip hop, jazz and lofi beats, the Norwegian duo provides a delicious fusion of elements including punchy drums, lush brass melodies, mesmerizing synths, groovy bass lines, and top-class improvisational solos.

Drawing from their extensive musical backgrounds and experiences, Draagen and Dummy Thicc infuse Codename Purple with a rich tapestry of influences, resulting in a vibrant and immersive listening experience. The duo's impeccable craftsmanship shines through in every track, inviting esteemed guest instrumentalists from the local music scene and a special feature from rapper Vuyo on the track "Can I Kick It Like That?". In eight tracks they deliver the good groovy stuff we love. Codename Purple is available on Bandcamp and the usual streaming platforms, courtesy of Purple Theory Records.
