Matt Whitehead - Live at Bloc Weekend 2010

Another year, another Bloc. Another week-long hangover endured by thousands, as they attempt to piece together the muddled events of four days awake in a holiday camp-cum-ravezone patrolled by terrifyingly beady seagulls. In the early hours of Saturday morning, all the energy in Minehead Butlins seemed centred in the Jak Bloc venue, where Matt Whitehead played an hour-long live set of razor-tight electro, acid and techno. One half of drum'n'bass duo Cyantific, Matt's been getting lots of props for his solo material following the release of his Beat the Heat 12", put out last year by long-running electro collective Rebel Intelligence. He's also released a series of excellent machinefunk tracks with Sync 24 as Signal Type. For anyone who was miles from Minehead, or cowering in their chalet — or for those ready for a flashback — here's the recording.
