Laid Back Essentials

Laid Back Essentials

Prolific electronic music duo Laid Back, made up of John Guldberg and Tim Stahl, formed in 1979 in Copenhagen and went on to change the face of dance music. Pioneering a sound way ahead of its time, they mixed synth-pop with New Wave while exploring cutting-edge technologies—popularising synthesisers, drum machines and multitrack recording. Best known for ‘80s hits “Maybe I'm Crazy”, “Sunshine Reggae” and “Bakerman”, they influenced a generation of internationally acclaimed artists like New Order and 2 Live Crew, achieving what few artists can to make a lasting impact on a whole genre.
