This week’s giveaway is something we’ve been very excited about since commissioning its creation several months ago. The brand new video for Blockhead’s ‘The Music Scene’ is an animation by Anthony Schepperd, the man behind Ape School’s ‘Wail to God.’ The result of the pairing is a masterful, absorbing object that far exceeds the remit of a music video. The wreckage of a city re-taken by nature becomes a playground for Plasticine-brained mannequins, mechanical spiders, eye-screens and tentacles; and, of course, the animals from the Blockhead album artwork.

As an added extra, you can also download a snippet of Blockhead’s brand new track, ‘Ugly Brown’, exclusive to our massive box set out this September. Also expect a Blockhead remix by one of hip-hop’s all-time innovators, EL-P, as part of our XX releases too!

A couple things on this upload:
1) the “snippet” is 3:11 long, long enough to be a radio edit by other standards
2) it’s 320 kbps, straight from the label, and
3) it’s exclusive Blockhead music.

Oh, and 4) it’s only available for one week online at Ninja Tune XX, whereas you can catch the video on YouTube and Vimeo for some while. So to keep this from disappearing and to share new Blockhead beats, it’s here. Enjoy!

Last thing: the “cover” image is the image associated with the release on the NinjaTuneXX.com page, and it’s taken from the video for The Music Scene.
