SUPPORT FROM – LAID BLAK
Laid Blak represent the quintessential Bristol music story, celebrating 20 years in the business this year, they have deservedly cemented themselves not just in Bristol’s honorary list but extremely thought after right across the UK. 2022 saw the band win Reggae Album of the Year voted by the people and awarded by the UK Reggae Fraternity, for its release of ‘From the Vaults’.
The single release ‘Golden’ from the album was show cased on many radio stations most notably on BBC 6 Music with Craig Charles a big advocate. Formed from the partnership of Bristol producer DJ Bunjy and MC Joe Peng, two legends of the rave and proto-Jungle scenes, the pair spent the 90’s causing havoc on dance floors in the biggest raves around the country, performing for the era defining party brands and popping up on all the essential tape packs.
Building on their successful rave wrecking partnership, the pair began to look for a new musical direction and like many of Bristol’s most loved musical exports, they drew inspiration from the melting pot that is Bristol music, which of course has Reggae and Soundsystem culture at its core. What began as a studio project, found them seeking out some of the most impressive musicians the city has to offer and Laid Blak was formed.
