Organisers of March's BLOC Weekend festival have announced more additions to their already bursting line-up, with some choice selections for fans of house and techno.
The biggest coup is arguably a back-to-back DJ set from Ostgut Ton duo Marcel Dettmann and Shed , who will be performing under their Deuce guise. Although they've been booked for the same parties many times before, it wasn't until this year's Unsound festival in Krakow that they officially shared deck time together in a club setting. Omar-S 's UK performances outside London may also be few and far between, but next year's Bloc will give fans a chance to catch the FXHE boss in the flesh without venturing to the capital.
Joris Voorn has had a milestone year in '09, what with the release of his Balance 014 mix, and he will also fly in to DJ at the festival. Subhead will also provide another helping of techno, while the drum & bass section of the Bloc bill will now be bolstered by a performance from Matt Whitehead of Cyantific .
