Ed Handley is one of those figures from the story of electronic music whose footsteps we hear on the decks. As we found out at the 2003 Red Bull Music Academy, he enriched the atmosphere of electronica as Plaid and Black Dog during the early ’90s, an era that was characterised by their 808, DX7, 101, BBS, Old Street, poverty and love.
The Black Dog were an enigma. For six years, they rarely gave interviews and refused to be photographed. With the split of the Black Dog, Plaid reactivated and began to once again mix fractured street beats with melodic bursts.
