BUBBLE PUPPY AND FRIENDS: Smoking with friends

Here's an older mix of mine that I really enjoy. 'Smoking with friends' covers a similar atmosphere to 'Friends of friend's friends', mixing up smokey folky sunshiny mellow pop of the late 60's and early 70's (+ a little 80's). A late late night or dreamy Sunday morning mix.

Welcome to the musical mix world of Kevin Purdy

Here lies my outlet, now that I haven't been doing radio for a while, for gathering a collection of sounds and styles, to delight and maybe edumacate the listener to other worlds of musical pleasure.
Mixes to come will be gathered from a wonderfully large collection of various media and will travel through all forms and permutations.

You can go to my Mixcloud page if you wish to hear the mixes before downloading.

My life's work revolves around creating, producing, DJing and enjoying music (as well as food, movies, books and so on).
I release work as Purdy on my label Soft Records.

Titles worth checking out:
Fairytale Insurance - Purdy
Mudlarking - Tooth (with Sir Robbo and John Maddox)

'Illumination' (SOFT008) by Kevin Purdy, a solo version of Purdy, with Kevin stripping back the sound to a luscious, deep, minimalist soundscape. The album comes to you as a beautiful 140gm LP, yes vinyl, it comes with a download card and sticker. To hear the tunes you can check Bandcamp and SoundCloud. In Sydney you can buy yourself a copy at Egg Records, Rey Eye and Title. Online you can buy it on BandCamp, or right here by pressing this button.

2018 saw the release of Purdy’s 6th solo album entitled ‘In Transit’ Kevin ventures further into a more ‘live’ creation, utilising his own instrumentation as a sampling source, working instinctively to allow songs to write themselves. The album has a theme and portrays the experience of travel, of journey afloat the shifting tides of life. There are a host of wonderful guest musicians aboard to help make it that much more fun. Next up was the release of the album 'Avoidance' by Geoff Kevin, that being renown singer, songwriter and multi instrumentalist Geoff Towner and yours truly. The album is a beautifully unique collection of songs and instrumentals, fusing the musical worlds of both artists into a fascinating whole. Released 2021 (SOFT011) Having entered into the territory of 'songs' Kevin set forth to complete a series of lyrical works that he had begun after completing Deviant Nature. Apart from the simple joy of completion, Kevin was also able to apply all that he had learned over those years as well as all of the growing experiences he could add to the body of the work. This album was released in July of 2024 as 'Kevin Purdy'. Whereas 'In Transit' shows a journey, this album is more a reflection of the journey. Definitely not a full stop, more smelling the roses. As with all of the Soft Records releases you can check them out, download or purchase on Bandcamp. Soft records is distributed by MGM Distribution
