Bloc is SOLD OUT!
Thanks to everyone who bought their ticket – you are in for one hell of a party!
Here’s a taster of what’s to come.
We stumbled across this beauty on Bloc TV the other day. Altern8 smashing the s**t out of Red:Bloc on the Sunday night at the sold out 2009 festie. Braindrop will be hosting this exact same arena this Sunday 14 March. Boom!
Need a pick me up? Then try yoga laughter therapy. Or better still just watch this video. Joker!
Wow – Nike used 16 Bit’s anthem “Jump” for their new Nike tv campaign.
We’ve had 16 Bit to play at Braindrop a good few times now – they make some of the most well produced bass music out there and they always smash it when playing out. Big up guys! 
Check out the 16 Bit Myspace
Whilst wasting yet more time on Youtube we found an amazing documentary on jungle from 1994. It’s a fascinating insight into the early jungle movement – soon after it had splintered from hardcore.
Back then it represented a fusion of rave music and black sound system culture – speeding up the kinds of breakbeats found in hardcore records and fusing them with exaggerated dub basslines. It’s incredible to see the sheer pride these jungle pioneers feel for their new found music. It reminds me of the way fans and djs would speak about dubstep when it first emerged.
This program features interviews and live performances from the incredibly young Shy FX, UK Apache, Fabio, LTJ Bukem, Rhyme Time, Trace and DJ Rap amongst many others. Oh and a very unpopular General Levy!
So make yourself a cup of tea, kick back and prepare for a junglist history lesson. Make sure you check out the haircuts and silly clothes – classic!
You may well have seen this by now, but we had to put this up. A very clever person remakes The Prodigy’s classic Smack My Bitch Up with the help of Ableton, Kool & The Gang, Randy Weston, Kool Keith and Rage Against the Machine. Genius.
Happy New Year! Back to work? Had to trudge through snow and wait ages in the cold for trains this morning? Here’s something to cheer you up. The Lyre bird – one that imitates camera shutters and chainsaws – as well as other birds. Amazing!
Wrong Music Allstars The Countryside Alliance Crew come together for a rural rendition of We Are Rural. It’s a truly terrible yet very funny remake of “We Are the World” originally crooned by a whole host of mega ego’d celebs.
The Alliance say: “Don’t buy Rage Against The Machine OR the X Factor track and give money to Sony, download this track free, and give what you can to Farm Africa, supporting farmers in the third world”
Check the vid below - and check out the awful original in all its star studded glory below that!
Heres a funny video to start with!!
Lots more to come soon!!
