Full/Frequency, who has brought the likes of DJ Shadow & Cut Chemist, DJ Krush, and Grandmaster Flash to Canberra, is proud to present BLOCKHEAD (Ninja Tune, USA) to the Transit Bar stage of FRI SEPT 16. Supported by Jayo (Yum Yum), Faux Real, Nigiri and First Gulf War.

"Hi. I'm Blockhead. I'm from NYC and I make Music. It's kinda hip hop and it's kinda instrumental but really, it's just beats to me. I have 5 albums on Ninja Tune records and have worked with MC's such as Aesop Rock, Murs and Cage. What else? ..... I'm a Libra y'all."

Blockhead, has been making and releasing utterly distinctive, funky and emotive music for the last two decades. As the son of an artist, surrounded by visual culture, he early on found that his passion was for music, for the sonic. A fan of a whole range of sounds, especially hip-hop, Blockhead steadily built a tremendous collection of tapes and later CDs from innumerable artists, a quiet accumulation of knowledge and know-how. Blockhead produced nine tracks on Aesop Rock's critically acclaimed album "Labor Days." Additionally he produced half the tracks on Aesop's follow up EP, "Daylight."

He has also worked with other indie giants Atmosphere, Murs, Mike Ladd and Illogic. In between, he found time to complete a break beat album entitled "Blockhead's Broke Beats," with ten hard-hitting instrumental tracks, which was released on Mush Records, the US home of cLOUDDEAD.

As 2016 gears up, and Blockhead charges on, keep your eyes online as he updates his fans daily through all means of Social Media - whether on his blog www.phatfriend.com , or Facebook, Twitter & Instagram. This aspect of his career has become more and more important - and isn't something Blockhead takes lightly.

"I don't have that thing in me where I feel I'm above just shooting the shit with people. With things like Twitter and Facebook, I'll respond to most questions. I'd like to think it makes the fans form more of a connection and recognize you as a normal person, as opposed to a foreign being who makes music they like.
