Around eighteen months back, Dots & Dashes
rolled and writhed about Butlins, Minehead all in aid of a gloriously hedonistic weekend revolving around water slide carpet burns, enough noodles to sustain Soho for half a calendar month, and a new-found arcadia obsession. That year
Aphex Twin mangled many a chromosome with his AV set, spliced together with autopsy visuals. And today it's been announced that Richard D. James is to return to the tarpaulin of Britain's most archaic adventure (or misadventure) park for this year's
Bloc Weekend. Already boasting a formidable line up to quite literally lose your mind to,
Four Tet,
Toddla T and
Mary Anne Hobbs also feature amongst new additions, added to the likes of minimal brilliance from
Black Devil Disco Club, French virtual barnstormer
Vitalic,
Claude VonStroke,
Beardyman and Dots & Dashes fave
Joy Orbison.
The full line up thus far is as follows:
Aphex Twin (AV Set)
* LFO * Moderat * Vitalic * Visionquest feat.
