This debut from Manhattan hip hop producer Blockhead boggled minds when it first landed twenty years ago on Ninja Tune. Best known at the time for his groundbreaking production work with rapper Aesop Rock, Blockhead’s solo Ninja Tune outing became a cult favourite in the hall of instrumental hip hop fame upon its 2004 release. Hailed by Pitchfork for having “a serious ear for samples”, Blockhead has just announced his epic album is getting a staggering 4LP reissue; a straight-up must-have! - Flying Out
After a few years of making beats for rappers, Blockhead would take a stab at the instrumental game with his debut album, Music By Cavelight – the first of four critically acclaimed albums he has released on Ninja Tune. Music By Cavelight, is a near-perfect example of how to make an instrumental hip hop album, ranked by some alongside the likes of RJD2's Deadringer and DJ Shadow's classic Entroducing.
