Brandon Block, more commonly known as
'Blocko' has become a legend in his own right in clubland. As the Infamous
DJ'ing partner of Alex P he has become one of the leading names on the
House scene. His DJ'ing style ranges from the funkier end of House to peak
time Trance and is tailor made for most modern day club
crowds.
Brandon started off in the late 80's playing at pubs
and clubs in West London, where he was born and raised. This lead to
residencies in some of London's bigger clubs and eventually with the
commercial boom of House to national success.
Much of Brandon's
success has been built on his summer residencies on the island of Ibiza.
Since the early 90's he and Alex P have been mainstays of the islands
summer clubbing season with residencies and guest appearances at all the
main clubs around the island.
In recent times Brandon and Alex
have gained their own P-Z and Blocko radio show on London's Kiss FM.
Hosting the early evening show on Friday's they now have a chance to bring
upfront music to the masses.
Brandon has also been busy on the
production front in the past year and shot straight into the UK charts
with Blockster's "You Should Be", while the follow-up "Grooveline" was a
successful underground hit.
Chart success lead to an invite to this
year's Brit Awards which amazingly saw Brandon up on stage to collect an
award. Unfortunately in a rather drunken state he was wrongly convinced
that he had won an award and went up to make his speech, only to be told
to piss off by Rolling Stones member Ronnie Wood. Lets just say Brandon
didn't take this too well and certainly made it a memorable Brit Awards
for many people!
As House becomes more and more popular throughout
Europe and the UK we can hope to see plenty more success in 2000 for the
Blockster.
