Vice magazine asked us to make a Bloc Party mix of BP and other material for them. We got right on it including a little of that punk feel, tunes that BP have covered (how emo is that Prince tune, we can clearly see why they covered it) and their influences and of course tracks titled ‘Block Party’ (hiphouse included). A deep one to make hanging with Fiskars at 3 am at the studio… We will also be playing at the Bloc Party Helsinki concert after party, should be fun.

Here’s the tracklisting:

Bloc Party: She’s Hearing Voices (Erol Alkan’s Calling Your Dub)
Eagle Boston: Wild Wild Ost
Pylon: Working Is No Problem
Delta 5: Mind Your Own Business
John Foxx: Underpass
Prince: I Would Die 4 You
Bloc Party: Sunday
Bloc Party: Helicopter
Bloc Party: Banquet
Sonic Youth: Youth Against Fascism
Dinosaur Jr.: Freak Scene
Bloc Party: One Month Off (Metal On Metal Remake)
La Roux: Quicksand (Nightrunners Edit)
Bruce Springsteen: 57 Channels (And Nothing On)
