Went last year, you won't be disappointed, was a belter. Make sure you get there early for key acts. Joy Orbison for example was over subscribed and some mates didn't get in.

Thinking of going in March. This and Outlook would make my year.

there is an outlook stage @ bloc 2011 too

[apmje]

Yeah I saw. Gentlemen's Dub Club are playing that, one of the highlights of Outlook last year so would be awesome to see them again.

Once you were in it was good though, they made it so there was just the right amount of people in there and you could actually get your head down and throw some shapes. Soundsystems in some of the rooms were pretty damn hefty as well. Cannot wait for next year. Had an absolute BANGER last year, hoping to god the tickets don't sell out by the end of january.

A Guy Called Gerald playing an Acid House set!?

That's a serious line-up addition right there.

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.
