The Static Dive Reimagines a Classic with “Purple Haze”

The Static Dive, the creative project of Bob Smith, boldly breathes new life into a rock and roll classic with his vibrant reimagining of “Purple Haze.” As the first single from his upcoming LP Blue Light After Party, this version pays homage to Jimi Hendrix’s legendary psychedelia while infusing it with a fresh, genre-defying spirit.




Where Hendrix's original roared with raw energy, The Static Dive offers a more atmospheric and layered interpretation. Shimmering guitars, modern rhythmic textures, and Smith’s multi-instrumentalist flair create a dreamlike soundscape that feels both nostalgic and new. It’s a respectful nod to the past while firmly planting itself in the eclectic, genre-bending world The Static Dive has built with previous releases like Blue Light Sessions Vol 1 & 2.




Still riding the wave of international airplay from those acclaimed EPs, Bob Smith continues to push boundaries with his fearless musical exploration. “Purple Haze” is not just a cover,  it’s a reimagination that fits seamlessly into the evolving narrative of the fictional Blue Light band’s afterparty. Psychedelia lovers and modern indie fans alike will find something to lose themselves in with this stunning reinterpretation.
