Topping the third wave of announcements, Bloc welcomes back the headliners from the first ever weekender in 2007 - Autechre. As warp records mainstays and constant live innovators, Rob Brown and Sean Booth have been annihilating our systems for years and we salute them as they take our main stage in 2015.
We’re also as thrilled as you will be to welcome back long-time friends of Bloc I Love Acid and the re-launched electro institution Electrix Records. Between them they are fielding the kind of acts that have made Bloc what it is over the years - Keith Tenniswood, Silicon Scally, Luke Vibert - and a special guest slot from The Advent.
New to Bloc in 2015 will be a stage presented by London Modular. Their showcase will feature exclusively sets played fully live on modular gear, with the artists nestled inside banks of equipment like the proggy, synthy mad professors they are.
Please find the full press release attached and feel free to spread the word as well as this Bloc, Autechre promo video made by film maker David Terranova.
How do you end an amazing 20th Anniversary Celebration? We think we’ve figured out our final flourish by bringing you the last of our 20th Anniversary year from the amazing Vince Watson. This is also our 250th release and a package that not only includes a remix from label boss Josh Wink, but features two bonus digital tracks that see Vince delving into his ambient side. A true celebration… We bring you “Déjà Vu”.
Vince Watson is one of the house-techno crossover pioneer’s and helped facilitate the tech-house genre’s appeal to the masses. A long musical history saw him release his debut album „Biologue“ at the end of the Millenium on Alola. The album was a big success and included the now classic track „Mystical Rhythm“. His work had a huge impact on the global electronic scene for setting a personal hypnotic perspective of groovy, melody and atmospheric sounds, a unique signature sound. He would continue his relationship with Alola, but also record for such acclaimed labels as Delsin, Planet E, and F…U F CCOM. He went on to establish his own labels Bio and Everysoul.
2014 saw Vince step out and explore new and old relationships in regards to his releases. He rekindled his relationship with Plant E and released on Poker Flat, Bedrock and Cocoon. We are excited to say that now Vince is gracing Ovum on what will be our 250th release and the final culmination of what has been an incredible 20th Anniversary Celebration.
„Deja Vu“ is an incredible slice of deep and emotional techno. Prepare to be taken on a bubbly ride with many twists and turns and an all-enveloping groove. The deepness is there, but this track still packs a serious punch. „Illusion“ is a wonderful combination of beauty and musicality with an inspiring drive. Illusion sees Vince taking us from the dark into the light. A gorgeous hypnotic piece that will surely become a future classic.
Josh Wink delivers his own twist on „Illusion“. Staying true to the original Wink adds his own trademark tweeks and discreet acid touch, matching frenetic percussion with the sweeping synths of Watson’s original. Beautiful and epic.
Alongside the stunning original mix of Deja Vu Vince also presents two of his unique and trademark Ambient and Beatless mixes. A special brace of mixes to fully immerse ourselves within and a perfect way to complete our anniversary package.
HUGE SUPPORT FROM: Josh Wink, John Digweed, Hot Since 82, Christian Smith, Lee Burridge, Ryan Crosson, Soul Clap, Heidi, Chymera, Laurent Garnier and many more!

Soul Clap (Charlie) – “GORGEOUS! Deep Techno is making my day! ”
Heidi– “Wink can do no wrong in my eyes. Ever!”
Funk D'Void/Francois Dubois – "Chords Chords Chordsssssss lushness, and bassline from heaven!!"
Hot Since 82 – “I LOVE this release J Wicked stuff, especially the Wink Re-think.”
I don't have a panel of experts weighing in. It's subjective as is most folks musical taste. This is purely based on the number of times I've gone "Ah!" while listening to a track for the first time and usually many times over 2014.
I realize its not quite the end of December and some stunning track could come my way in the meantime. But it will be shelved for 2015. So presented in no particular order CGNYs Top Tracks of 2014
We love The Echologist (check out our feature on Brendon here) and our friends at Concrete Records are sharing some exclusive snippets of his remix of Plants Army Revolver.
'Detroit Love' is a new concept from Carl Craig, designed to bring together and support the sounds of Detroit, and take a little of the techno brotherhood to clubs and festivals the world over.
"Love is what I have for my city, Detroit. 'Detroit Love' is my way of spreading this love, a love for music from the city, my heritage and who I am as a producer and performer. My love for Detroit is my inspiration, my inspiration is 'Detroit Love'." - Carl Craig
'Detroit Love' was launched at ADE 2014, in the underground recesses of Amsterdam's North Sea Jazz club. Carl Craig invited Detroit natives Recloose, Moodymann - who played a set encompassing disco, soul, house and hip-hop, and Mad Mike Banks to play keys over Carl Craig's Moog infused 4-cd-deck closing set, which included live editing, sampling, scratching and looping of soundscapes ranging from ambient textures to masterful techno. A Detroit focused line-up, showcasing only a few of the sublime talent that Detroit has to offer, the launch was a special and unforgettable night for those who attended.
For 'Detroit Love' events, Carl Craig will perform a new technical set up with 4-cd deck mixing, looping, live editing and sampling.
Special video mapping is being designed, depicting the surreal, urban Detroit landscape.

On here, you will find the PoleGroups artists Reeko, Exium, Oscar Mulero, and also sound related producers like Adriana Lopez, Woo York, Donor, Claudio PRC and of course Mr Wünsch himself. This mix is 70 odd minutes of exceptional techno from some of the the worlds most respected techno producers. Wünsch meticulously mixes each track into the next, creating one seamless set that ebbs and flows exquisitely. For the vinyl release he has hand selected four tracks from the mix from Tripeo, Woo York, Claudio PRC and also his own track "Beta v.o.5.”
The mix CD and sampler will be out December 15th through PoleGroup.

20TH SEPTEMBER - 20TH DECEMBER 2014 AT VARIOUS VENUES WORLDWIDE
Celebrating 20 Years of releasing original music, the enigmatic, Grammy nominatedMartin Buttrich presents his #9414 20 Years Tour, running from 20th September until 20th December and marking the launch of his new label plus a new collaboration album project for 2015.
Martin Buttrich has put his sonic fingerprints on many big ticket artists and engineered, written and produced some of the biggest tracks from the past decade. His dextrous studio skills have been the backbone of some of the biggest releases from the likes of Timo Maas and Loco Dice. From his outstanding solo releases on influential labels such as Planet E, Cocoon and Poker Flat, to receiving a Grammy nomination for his co-production on Timo Maas' Tori Amos remix in 2003, through to confounding and steering the Desolat label with Loco Dice, who has kept him as a producer and writer on his records for over a decade, Buttrich is and remains a seminal figure in the electronic industry.
This tour marks his step out of the shadows of the studio and into the centre of the dancefloor. Featuring artists with whom Buttrich has collaborated throughout his career, together they will conquer landmark cities such as London, New York, Amsterdam, LA, Rome, Berlin and Miami amongst many more.
Many of the artists that will join Buttrich on this twenty date tour will also feature on the collaboration album due at the start of 2015.

Shaped Noise - Different Selves
The debut album from Shapednoise has surfaced from the creative depths, a brutal aural assault, perfect for your despicable sensibilities. “Different Selves” falls on the grimier side of industrial noise, akin to some Northern Structures, Ancient Methods and Blackest Ever Black releases.......... ,...... ......
