Bloc is shaping up to be unstoppably ridiculous at the moment, insane lineup!

 

BTW I'm sure I remember you guys saying AGES ago that you'd consider people for DJ support at I Love Acid in London from here? Correct me if I'm wrong, but offer still open by any chance to send a mix? Apologies for potential cheek factor ;)

yep. have had a fair few DJ sets by people that have sent in good mixes.

+ brownie points for people who have actually been to the night though, and handed me a CD rather than sent a mix from afar.

 

do get a lot of mixes that are quite wrong for the night - like really hard belgian/german acid techno....hectic 180pm stuff that's more suited for Bangface.

 

Residents are AGT Rave Cru and Placid - we try to book guests who are interesting yet still accessible.

We don't purely preach to the converted, we get about 50/50 music heads and passing trade or newcomers. The regulars know their tunes and are up dancing early, the vibe infects other punters, and you get people dancing to tunes they might not normally be into. It's why the AGT Rave Cru sets have an element of mainstream & cheesiness to them - Education rather than alienation :-)

 

Very satisfying getting people dancing by playing to tracks they recognise, lik Snap, Josh Wink, and the Chemical Brothers....then by the end of the night they're bopping away to Aphex, Phuture and Surgeon...

 

Chap called Strangius Dudus playing in January who started coming down every month bringing CDs of his sets with him.
