Cup of Tea Makes P.P.

Third out of the gate from Cup of Tea Records 

In the past I've shared Purple Penguin here.

The duo was a mainstay in the Cup of Tea Records roster. Just a couple of Bristol boys, hip-hop / breaks producers who got together & make a Purple Penguin. Scott Hendy & Ben Dubuisson produced some of the finest Cup of Tea sounds out there.

Here's an early EP...

Apologies to all. Purple Penguin - De-Tuned has been re-uploaded because of duplicate track 9 & 10. For those who don't want to download the entire album, the track 10 "So High" can be downloaded from link in comments. 

 

 

Just another Cup of Tea...Cup of Tea Records release, that is. 

 

Just a couple of Bristol boys, hip-hop/breaks producers get together & make a Purple Penguin. Scott Hendy & Ben Dubuisson produced some of the finest Cup of Tea sounds out there.

This is a smooth combination of Dub & Trip-hop with some sharp musical & rhythmic production: lots of slowed jazz riffs; well chosen B-movie samples; ethnic chants; & crisp beats.
