Kele Okereke makes Bloc Party Tapes mix
By Aly Barchi | Published on Thursday 5 September 2013
Bloc Party will, in a manner of speaking, break their very indefinite ‘indefinite hiatus’ via a new mix LP.
Carrying fifteen tracks compiled by Kele Okereke to signal his and BP’s dance-based origins, inspirations and admired acts, it’s the new instalment in !K7’s ‘Tapes’ series. And whilst it isn’t technically a ‘real’ Bloc Party release, it does feature Okereke’s mix of the band’s track ‘Obscene’, part of their EP ‘The Nextwave Sessions’, circa earlier this year.
Says Kele: “I hope that this mix will illustrate where my fascination with dance music has come from. To me dance music is about transcendence. I think this mix will show it’s not just a passing thing for me. It’s something that’s always been there and it’s something that I couldn’t live without”.
