All those suggesting John Digweed, Luciano, and Carl cox, and Fatboy slim please try much much harder or go to T in the park.

I have so much faith in blocs line ups, that i know ill certainly be going next year, as everyyear i think "ooh ill wait and see before i make a decision" then they knock my socks off.

So basically more of the same bloc, just do your thing and book those that you know are the business.

Gotta agree with jeff mills, would like to see him make his bloc debut, annd maybe Mika Vainio doing a rare live set would be nice.

Let Clone records or intergalacticFM curate a stage....the freaky deaky dutch were sorely missing form this years lineup imo. i-f, alden tyrell, dexter, intergalactic Gary, fleming dalum...the list goes on...they could annihilate a stage.

someone from clone has pretty much been a highlight of every bloc so far for me...i-f destoyed the main stage the first year (his disco set from 2 yr ago was awesome too). alden tyrell was mega last year...ah the memories :)

As mentioned / discussed elsewhere - less artists and longer sets at Bloc 6 please.

The festival is selling out every year, you can afford to give artists more time for their sets.

Yeah Big L would be great, and Gangstarr....... BLOC is mighty but not almighty!! ;) (but a Primo set might work :)

Definitely a touch of hiphop would be nice, please no anitpopconsortium though, dig out something old and special ;) DOOM obv but maybe some native tounges, Artifacts, Ultramagnetics would be AMAZING and they're doing some atp stuff so it would be possible.. errr Souls of mishceif doing 93 til infinity, Outkast peforming ATLiens or only pre-stankonia material.. (ok, dreaming a bit here) DITC, or at least Diamond D and Lord Finesse...... Big Daddy kane, Biz Markie, Slick Rick, PE......

Loving some of these suggestions so far though folks!!!

More suggestions: MC Pitman, Sicknote, Alphadrive, Jon Hopkins, Arpanet, Ben Sims, Crystal Method, Saul Williams, Nullsleep, Modified Toy Orchestra? Quite a varied bunch I'll admit...

And what about Squarepusher. I believe he is yet to make a Bloc appearance.

Disco Stu - thats what im talking about.

One of the best things about bloc is that it has never ever had squarepusher on and long may that continue.

Squarepusher has had his day, he has run out of relevance and to watch him playing prog rock distorto guitar over backing tracks of his own music (as was the last time i saw him) is something bloc can do without. Its a shame as he was once amazing.

final addition to wishlists: get tim exile back on, he always owns.

Imagine a sandwell saturday that would be lovely: female regis function and silent servant all at it for 6 hours. Sweet.

Darn tooting! Always enjoy watching his old sets on Bloctv.

Some more to get back:

Michael Forshaw
Clark
Matt Whitehead
Otto Von Schirach
Luke's Anger
Green Velvet

Also how about getting the Coin Operated lot in (inc Forshaw), that would be a laff riot!

Please god no Fatboy Slim, Digweed, Chemical bros, Orbital (maybe 10 yrs ago but whats the point now?) Keep it underground, this year was perfect (I've already griped about Granddaddy Flash and Shit n Pepa from last year) the more commmercial it goes the less likely the crowd will remain as awesome as it currently is, it will get booked up earlier (for us that is a bad thing Blocwkd!!) and there will be more nobs, I can guarantee it (although they will fit in well with the current security!!)

Rant over! :x
