Bloc is aka Andre Baigent from Cardiff / Wales, who has been producing his own material for a few years now but was forced to take time out from producing due to a second eye accident, leaving him with very poor vision and scared retinars in both eyes and registered disabled (Blind).

Despite "all the crap" over the last few years, Andre has "bounced back" with new projects and a gritty underground sound influenced mainly by the rave scene in the early to mid nineties and the free party scenes prior to the shitty 'criminal justice bill.


Full of flavour Andre produces some original hand-crafted techno twists and trax to feed the head as well as exploring his own creative and intuitive bounderies.


Big shout out to the 'Spiral Tribe' for there inspiration and foresight!

This site is dedicated to my old friend Mark Jones from Cardiff, who passed away a couple of years ago. R.I.P
