Music : Body&Soul Main Stage 2011 : Plaid
Formed by Andy Turner and Ed Handley in 1989, Plaid was one of the most innovative British electronica bands from the 90's. Influenced by synth pop artists such as Human League, Ultravox and Howard Jones, the duo started producing music together in the early 90?s after being involved in the British early rave scene.
Plaid released their debut album “Mbuki Mvuki” in 1991, which became a very influential work on the jungle scene from the early 90?s. Two years later, Turner and Handley founded Black Dog Productions with Ken Downie and started producing a serie of singles where they practised a personal mix of electro, hip hop, and acid techno. Plaid has done remix work for Portishead, Red Snapper and Björk.
