Bloc is back. Ten years after the last Weekender left Butlin’s Minehead , and twenty since the first one landed at Pontins Hemsby , the crew behind one of the UK’s most forward-thinking electronic festivals are doing it one more time. Just once, and properly. Bloc Reunion takes over The Cause in London, with Jeff Mills, Egyptian Lover, Leftfield and Tama Sumo & Lakuti leading the first wave of names. Founders Alex Benson and George Hull started Bloc on a Norfolk holiday park in 2007. Nobody else was booking the lineups they wanted to see, so they did it themselves. It worked. The festival moved to Minehead and grew into a proper institution, running for the best part of a decade. Then came London in 2012. Most of you know how that went, and the rest have heard the story so often it feels like you were there. It looked like the end. Instead, the pair opened a club. Bloc on Autumn Street r
