Worth the Weight Volume 2 - From the Edge

Punch Drunk Records presents the 2nd chapter in its Worth the Weight CD compilation series, selected once again by Peverelist and presented in a digipak CD format. 'Worth the Weight Volume 2' represents that second era, when a new school of Bristol artists were beginning to emerge. Many of them found their first releases at Punch Drunk and are featured on this compilation. Kahn's first two 12"s for the label were a dichotomy of colourful swung rhythms and heads down, deep and dark sound system music. Ekoplekz released two LPs for the label drawing influence from Cabaret Voltaire via King Tubby, defining his own plane of dystopian dub. Zhou, a duo from the city's Young Echo collective, released two 12"s mastering their own esoteric perspective on heavyweight UK Dub grooves. Andy Mac's UK house variants brought the funk and bounce back to Bristol's clubs, whilst Tessela's pounding percussion tracks rained down relentlessly on dancefloors. Bass Clef's recent masterful and acclaimed psychedelic voyage through techno on his Reeling Skullways LP is represented alongside rising star Hodge whose Resolve 12" is surely a highlight of the labels catalogue.
