BLOC 2011

I don't mean to be a grumpy old farty poop but I don't know why people keep talking about bringing huge sound systems, the music goes on until 7 or something and then if you're making loads of noise after that they will surely come and make you stop, plus isn't it that sort of thing that gets events licenses taken away

i have no idea, ive never been

Minehead is in the middle of nowhere, there are no neighours to piss off really.

The music in a couple of the arenas went on until 10am saturday and sunday morning and kicked off again in others around 2pm so theres only a few hours without the beats.

I didnt see security shutting down any chalet parties, but it may have happened.

If you are still looking for something to do on NYE, Bloc will also be hosting a massive NYE party in conjunction with Eastern Electrics!

It’s already caused a frenzy with one of 2010’s biggest and best underground line ups, and now London’s most-anticipated NYE party just got even heavier. Announcing the addition of one of the hottest names in experimental electronic music – US genius DJ Matthew Dear – eastern electrics – Back To The Tunnels is THE hot ticket for NYE 2010.

Tickets are running out though, so get on it quickly! If you miss out, there is the chance to win tickets from Pulse Radio...

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.

Adam Beyer – Bloc10 Set

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

Tickets booked, YEAAHHHH

Fucking LOVE Bloc. 4th in a row for me this one will be.

Some "true legend and megastar" to be announced to play the closing set

Can't really think of anyone bigger and more worthy than Aphex, but maybe the likes of Orbital?

Nice one, I thought I read that your life was shit and your house burnt down or something slightly less extreme that meant you weren't coming?

Yeah, I would have said Jeff Mills. Or Jean Michel Jarre but I hope not.

I (EOD) am playing a show in London on the 10th of March (the day before Bloc) as part of a pre-Bloc warmup thingie or something like that. Do stop by!

Laurent Garnier has been announced as the final headliner to close Bloc festival 2011!

Check out this new video for a lineup recap…
