  • Bloc have revealed the first round of names for their fifth annual festival, set to take place over three days next March. The 10 acts announced so far reflect Bloc's traditionally diverse style of programming. On the old school tip, early techno pioneer Mark Bell will perform as LFO, making his first UK appearance since 2008, and Drexciya offshoot Dopplereffekt will play a set as well. German trio Moderat will deliver their visually enhanced live act, and French electro maestro Vitalic will make his first ever Bloc appearance. DJs include top Dirtybird Claude VonStroke and the Visionquest crew, AKA Seth Troxler, Lee Curtiss and Shaun Reeves. More subheavy beats will come courtesy of Joy Orbison and Digital Mystikz. Rounding off the first wave of names are UK beat-boxer Beardyman and French disco-noir artist Black Devil Disco Club. BLOC will once again take place at Butlin's Minehead Resort, meaning you'll stay in an apartment rather than a tent and can frolic in arcades and water parks as well as numerous music venues. Past editions have hosted more than 100 acts a piece, so expect many more names to be confirmed in the weeks ahead.
