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! 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… |
