Born and bred in Nottingham UK, Bloik was introduced to the piano at an early age. He didn't take it that far but it gave him an 'ear for sound'. At 17, Bloik picked up bass guitar and taught himself to play. Early influences started with Punk Rock and Dub, and followed with 60's psyche, Funk, Drum and Bass, Triphop and Electronica. Bloik still plays in bands to this currant day.
In 1994 he began his journey into sample based music, it took him a few years to find his production feet but he thrived on the challenge. Bloik has produced music in many styles, initially concentrating on Triphop and Breakbeat then moving on through Drum & Bass into Dub. In 2004 Bloik had a track included on FABRICLIVE 17:AIM! this was a highpoint!. At about the same time he was working on his first Dub offering; "Excursions in Echo". The EP is a four track journey through Dub and features some great session players, it has a very live feel throughout and was great fun to produce. Bloik sees his work not so much as conventional music but more like 'Audio works of art'. He is currently working on a follow up to "Excursions in Echo" and then plans to revisit his D&B Influences.You can find all of the Bloik back catalogue and much more at; www.dubmole.com.
