Punch Drunk

Punch Drunk is a Bristol based label that was launched in 2006 by an individual passionate about showcasing local artists involved in the dubstep scene. Over the years, it has grown into one of the most interesting and forward-thinking UK electronic music labels. Despite its focus on the relatively small music scene of Bristol, Punch Drunk has managed to achieve great success and gain recognition for its commitment to releasing music only from artists directly linked to the city.

With a reputation for being open-minded and innovative, Punch Drunk has become a go-to label for those seeking cutting-edge electronic music. The label's dedication to nurturing talent within its local community sets it apart from others in the industry.

Through their carefully curated releases, *Punch Drunk* continues to push boundaries and explore new sonic territories. With each release, they showcase the diverse range of sounds coming out of Bristol's vibrant music scene while also attracting attention from listeners worldwide who appreciate their unique approach.

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.
