Blockhead Reviews

New York producer Blockhead has been making beats since the pre-MP3 days. He's probably best known for his work with Aesop Rock, but he's also produced beats for Murs, Cage, and Open Mike Eagle. "Interludes After Midnight" is his fifth album of instrumental hip-hop since 2004, following 2009's "The Music Scene." Out of all of the artists whose music gets labeled "instrumental hip-hop," Blockhead comes closest to fitting the definition...

With the second wave of instrumental hip-hop gaining much attention, thanks to high-profile releases by AraabMUZIK, Clams Casino and DJ Burn One, it's easy to look back at the early '00s as year zero for this long-underappreciated genre. Much like instrumental hip-hop's holy trinity ? DJ Shadow, J Dilla and Madlib ? Blockhead helped define an entire sub-genre (the Def Jux sound), just without the credit...

With fifth album Interludes After Midnight, producer Blockhead delivers what might just be his masterpiece. Interludes is a dedication to the beatmaker's teen years in the late '80s and early '90s, a pre-internet age that Simon spent exploring dingy NYC afterhours and watching public access. Like his previous work, Interludes After Midnight conjures a sombre mood via intricately crafted, sample-based instrumentals...

Manhattan-based hip-hop producer Blockhead is famed for his work with Def Jux rapper Aesop Rock, but he has also released a string of excellent instrumental LPs under his own name. The last of these, 2009's critical success The Music Scene, perfected a style that sets smart vocal samples within varied, beat-laden soundscapes.Beats and samples remain at the heart of Blockhead's latest record, but there is also a clear change of approach. Interludes After Midnight is a concept album of sorts...

Blockhead is, in an innocently perverted way, one of my musical benchmarks. Why is this perverted? Well, when I was discussing who Blockhead was with a friend of mine, I called him my Brooke Banner of instrumental music. Who is Brooke Banner? Well, she is the intended recipient of many an ejaculation. She's one of the main sources of masturbatory delight from right around the time I discovered internet pornography as a way to wean myself off of JC Penny's lingerie catalogs...

Levity doesn't come easily to Blockhead. After two albums in two years of dense, moody, dark instrumental hip-hop, Blockhead's answer to those who would tell him to lighten up appeared in 2007, a limited edition release called Uncle Tony's Coloring Book. Uncle Tony's Coloring Book still sounded like Blockhead, but it sounded like a version of Blockhead that was actively trying to push a little happy into the still-dense mix...

When hip-hop producer Tony Simon takes a break from working with acts like Aesop Rock, DJ Signify, and Murs he is a member of the hip hop / comedy group Party Fun Action Committee. When he's not doing that he puts out solo music projects on the Ninja Tune label as Blockhead. He has just released his third studio album, "The Music Scene," and it's a tightly produced, mainly instrumental album laden with funky grooves, international flavors, and many bizarre vocal samples...

The sophomore offering from NYC-based hip-hop/trip-hop producer Tony Simon, Downtown Science has a tough assignment following Blockhead's surprisingly strong debut, Music by Cavelight. The album begins in familiar territory as Simon plunders smoky jazz and movie samples to create a black-and-white gangster film ambience. With Stop Motion Traffic things begin to change direction, as strong guitar and bass lead a riff-based production...

This NYC beat maker of Aesop Rock fame turns out 14 heady, instrumental hip-hop jams worthy of the Ninja clan. In true Ninja form, Blockhead digs up strange, melancholy samples and scratches 'em up over languid, bass-heavy beats, throwing in some live instrumentation for good measure, at times leaving me waiting for an ill rapper to bust a verse, alternately allowing my mind to create degenerate freestyles of its own whim...
