Blockhead, a.k.a. Tony Simon, is a witty and innovative Manhattan-based hip-hop producer and DJ. He has previously released Music by Cavelight, Downtown Science, Uncle Tony’s Coloring Book, and released The Music Scene earlier this week.

In addition to his solo albums released on Ninja Tune, Blockhead also produces music for fellow hip-hop artist, Aesop Rock – who he has produced eight albums for in the past. He also worked with artists such as Cage, Murs, Mac Lethal, Mike Ladd, S. A. Smash, and Slug (Atmosphere).

Blockhead is known for his layered electronics and DJ Shadow-like soundscapes and rolling “headnodica.”

The Music Scene is considered to be Blockhead’s most complete album, which is apparent after listening to the first track. The album is full of upbeat sound, weird and unusual samples that make Blockhead so unique and awesome. The Music Scene is a refreshing album that shows his evolution as a music-maker and a producer.
