“It's about time that London started making better use of its derelict industrial buildings in the same way that Berlin and Barcelona do. Thankfully, Bloc are leading the charge with this music festival at London Pleasure Gardens. (The venue, the abandoned Pontoon Dock across the rivel from Excel, has been taken over by the people behind Glastonbury's Shangri La and is set to become a cultural hub in the coming months.) Bloc have done their part by booking all the kinds of artists to ensure the weekend goes with a bang: Orbital, Richie Hawtin, Gary Numan, Ricardo Villalobos, Jeff Mills... the list of reasons why you should go goes on and on.”
