Greetings Bloc family,

In March 2011 we will celebrate the first five years of the
life-changing BLOC festival and we are bursting out of our
brains in a giddy blast of thrill to announce to you all
that the most important BLOC festival there has ever been is
launched. As a teaser of what is to come, here are the first
10 acts announced:

LFO / Moderat / Vitalic / Joy Orbison / Seth Troxler /
Claude Von Stroke / Digital Mystikz / Beardyman /
Dopplereffekt / Black Devil Disco Club

Many more TBA at http://www.blocweekend.com

The man, the legend, the enigma and quite possibly the
single most influential UK electronica artist in living
memory… we are hugely proud at Bloc to present to you the
inimitable Aphex Twin, performing his special AV show for
our fifth birthday.

From twisting early rave sounds into mad, mind-melting forms
like ‘Analogue Bubblebath’ and ‘Digeridoo’ in the
very early 90′s through the unparalleled electronic
bliss of his ‘Selected Ambient Works’, then into the
growling fury of ‘Come To Daddy’ ending up with the
disorientating beauty of ‘Windowlicker’, Aphex Twin’s
discography is as vast and expansive as any other producer
on the planet.

Unpredictable, inspired, irreverent and frighteningly
talented, Aphex’s all-too-infrequent sets generally cover
the full spectrum of rave and beyond so expect another acid
jungle techno noisecore rollercoaster from the most unique
talent of the post acid house era.

Check the Bloc website for a host more lineup additions over
the coming weeks...

Other recent lineup additions include:

Four Tet // Speedy J // Drop The Lime // Toddla T //
Venetian Snares // King Midas Sound // L-Vis 1990 // dOP //
Floating Points // Pinch // Daedelus // Shackleton // Soul
Clap // Loefah // DJ Pete // Will Saul // SDC // Addison
Groove // Roska // Jimmy Edgar // Al Tourettes // Mary Anne
Hobbs // Alva Noto // Global Goon // Legowelt // Orgue
Electronique // Mark II (Altern-8) // Placid // AGT Rave Cru
// Gemmy // Guido // Untold // B12 // Posthuman

Now that we are into 2011, the countdown to Bloc really
starts. So in that spirit, we start off the year with one of
the many stellar sets from last year’s festival to keep
you going through the first week back at work!

Adam Beyer – Bloc10 set

Drumcode boss Adam Beyer has been Sweden’s top techno
export for the best part of two decades and has collaborated
with fellow big guns like Speedy J, Mathew Jonson, Tiga and
Marco Carola over the years. His Drumcode label has been
thwacking out the most supremely funky and rhythmically
heavy techno tunes for 13 years now and his DJ sets are
renowned for their depth and uniformly dancefloor smashing
capabilities.

Beyer owns the chunky funky techno sound and his set at Bloc
2010 proves that in full.

Grab this and a whole host more sets over at the Bloc
Weekend site.

Check this exclusive stream of a new Venetian Snares track
from Bloc 2011 via Hyponik!

*Venetian Snares Exclusive*

The track, imaginatively titled ‘There Now You Have
Syphilis’, spills out the speakers in an acid-drenched
onslaught of typically manic polyrhtyhms and overt drum
programming, settling into its own incongruous groove around
the halfway mark.

Having recently launched his own Timesig label with new
album ‘My So Called Life’, Aaron Funk is set to perform
at the Overkill stage at this year’s Bloc festival,
alongside DJ Funk, King Midas Sound, Daedelus, Carsten
Nicolai and Jimmy Edgar, providing what will undoubtedly be
a full on soundtrack of the very fines electronics and
bass.

You can also read a nice interview with Kevin Martin, AKA
The Bug and one third of King Midas Sound, over at the Bloc
Weekend website…

Deadbeat was the bomb! They should have a soul/dub/hip hop
