Tha Bloc Report

November is one of those months where the air gets crisp, the playlists get deeper, and blocSonic doubles down on its mission to keep your speakers honest. Lucky for you, Episode 87 of Tha Bloc Report drops right into that pocket. As always, your host Donnie Ozone shows up ready to curate, educate, and freshly rotate—this time kicking things off with brand-new heat from EATM’s album Backyard Gods before leading you down a wonderfully weird rabbit hole of experimental gems from the blocSonic archives.

And what a set it is. Donnie pulls cuts from Headsnack & Primo Sol, Serhio Efremis & Elli Q, CLOUDWARMER, OWTRIPLEBANG, Church Of Space Presents: Nu Kids OFF The Block, Network/R.M. Keller, and Ergo Phizmiz—a reminder that blocSonic’s catalog continues to be one of the most fearless treasure troves on the web. Whether it’s head-nodders, left-field weirdness, or interstellar sound experiments, Donnie threads it together with that signature ease that longtime listeners know and love.

Then—because no episode is complete without it—Timezone Lafontaine swoops in with another jaw-dropping edition of his 20-Minute Workout. Sixteen songs woven into one tightly-packed megamix… a full-spectrum sprint through the catalog that somehow feels both precision-engineered and joyfully chaotic. It’s the kind of mix that reminds you just how wide the blocSonic universe really is.

Episode 87 stands as another showcase of why Tha Bloc Report continues its long run—87 episodes deep since debuting back in 2018. From Pot-C setting the foundation to Donnie carrying the torch since 2022, the show remains a celebration of independent creativity, Creative Commons culture, and the community that makes blocSonic tick.

Stick around, download the episode, and soak in another month of music discovery… blocSonic style.

Grateful to Donnie and Timezone for bringing us another incredible episode of Tha Bloc Report—reliably excellent every time.

Of course, thanks once again to you for downloading & listening. We always strive to deliver content you’ll love. Please spread the word about blocSonic, if you enjoy what we do.

When the leaves start turning and the air cools, you know what time it is — the October episode of Tha Bloc Report! Episode 86 has arrived, and as always, our host Donnie Ozone is here to bring the heat. This month, he’s reaching deep into the blocSonic archives to unearth a dozen hip-hop treasures — cuts from Cheese N Pot-C, CM aka Creative, The Impossebulls, and Timezone Lafontaine — all handpicked for a classic blocSonic experience.

Speaking of Timezone… he’s back once again with another powerhouse installment of his 20-Minute Workout! That’s right… seventeen songs, skillfully blended into a megamix that showcases the sheer depth and diversity of blocSonic’s ever-expanding catalog. It’s a musical sprint through the underground that’ll leave your head nodding and your download folder heavier than before.

As Tha Bloc Report continues its journey — now eighty-six episodes strong since launching in 2018 — it’s a reminder of what makes blocSonic special. Independent spirit. Creative Commons freedom. Real artists making real music without corporate nonsense. Whether you’ve been listening since Pot-C’s early hosting days or joined us when Donnie took the reins in 2022, we’re grateful that you continue to ride with us through it all.

blocSonic’s heart has always beat for the independent — and Tha Bloc Report is the sound of that heartbeat, loud and proud. So kick back, turn the volume up, and take a moment for yourself. Let this episode remind you why the underground still matters.

Huge thanks to Donnie and Timezone for dropping yet another stellar episode of Tha Bloc Report! You two keep the blocSonic spirit alive every single month… never missing a beat and never letting us down.

With 84 episodes under its belt, Tha Bloc Report continues to be the monthly time capsule, spotlight, and audio playground for all things blocSonic… and September 2025’s edition is no exception.

Your host Donnie Ozone returns with a stack of cuts pulled from the deep vaults of blocSonic’s ever-expanding sonic universe. That’s nearly 600 releases to choose from, and Donnie doesn’t take the task lightly. This time, he’s curated a choice selection featuring gems which either haven’t been spun on the show before or have been patiently waiting for their return to the bloc airwaves.

This episode shines light on a killer crew of artists including: A.Moss, Cheese N Pot-C, CM aka Creative, Donnie Ozone, Electric Mirrors, Headsnack, Lofiuser, Lorenzo’s Music, OWTRIPLEBANG, Sydney Wayser, Tha Silent Partner, and Y.K.Beats.

No dusty archives here… these tracks still slap, bump, chill, groove, or otherwise elevate. It’s a great reminder of just how diverse and rich the blocSonic catalog really is.

And of course, no episode would be complete without a high-octane, funkified, genre-blurring 20-Minute Workout from Timezone Lafontaine. This month’s mix is packed with 17 tracks from across the catalog and as always, it’s all stitched together with that special Timezone flair… part DJ mastery, part radio drama, part “what did I just listen to and why do I want to hear it again?!”

So whether you’re new to the bloc or a longtime head, Episode 85 delivers the goods: deep cuts, forgotten favorites, and fresh surprises from familiar names.

Major thanks to Donnie Ozone and Timezone Lafontaine for delivering yet another stellar episode of Tha Bloc Report! Month after month, you both keep the bar high and the vibes flowing… word up.

One last thing… at a time when the world often feels like it’s teetering on the edge—when greed and authoritarianism seem louder than compassion—we at blocSonic want to sincerely thank you for continuing to listen. We know these are heavy times, and it’s easy to feel overwhelmed or drift into despair. Please know you’re not alone. We truly hope you’re finding ways to care for yourself, to keep your head up, and to protect your peace. Music may not fix everything, but it can be a balm… it can lift your spirit, give you a breath, and remind you of what’s worth fighting for.

Netlabel Day 2025 may have passed, but the music? Still echoing. On Episode 84 of Tha Bloc Report, Donnie Ozone returns to soak in the afterglow and keep the celebration rolling. This month, he’s diving back into blocSonic’s massive 7-release Netlabel Day drop, spinning choice cuts you might’ve missed and giving them the spotlight they deserve. Donnie spins recent tracks by BADLUCK, C da 76er, CM aka Creative, Krazy Shitz, Lorenzo’s Music, Pirate Pact, P.U.C.K., and his own, too! No ego, just vibes.

Not enough? Say less. Timezone Lafontaine once again delivers his now-legendary 20 Minute Workout, a blocSonic megamix packed with 19 jaw-dropping tracks that bounce, knock, flip, and bounce again. Seriously, if your feet aren’t moving after this, check your connection.

And for longtime heads or newcomers alike, there’s a hidden gem unearthed from the blocSonic vaults… this time, a classic by Threepeeoh. The kind of cut that reminds you just how deep the archive runs around here.

Donnie Ozone returns with Episode 83, and it’s a special one — the Netlabel Day 2025 edition. If there were ever a perfect time to dive deep into blocSonic’s catalog, this is it. Donnie’s got his crates packed with fire from today’s Netlabel Day drops and recent gems that showcase just how wide and deep the blocSonic sound runs.

He’s spinning selections from every one of the seven Netlabel Day 2025 releases… except his own (?), including new tracks from Krazy Shitz, BADLUCK, Lorenzo’s Music, and the multiple personalities of P.U.C.K. — whether in their classic mode or the Pirate Pact sub-project. Donnie even reaches back a few weeks to spotlight “Anime Chris” by CM aka Creative, just to make sure no stone is left unturned.

Oh, and you know it wouldn’t be a true Bloc Report without Timezone Lafontaine cranking things up with another high-energy 20-Minute Workout—this one’s loaded with nineteen songs pulled from across blocSonic’s expansive archive. A true sonic sprint, crafted by the Workout wizard himself.

Donnie Ozone is back at the wheels and, as usual, he’s not easing in gently. Episode 81 flows like a secret tour through blocSonic history, zig-zagging from A.Moss’ moody opener straight through to EATM’s closer, with every bend in the road revealing another crate-digging gem. Somewhere in the middle, Y.K.Beats crashes in with the brand-new “Pulsating Tuesday Rhythm,” juiced up by Highsnow and Cheese N Pot-C. By the time Donnie cues up The Impossebulls, Cassette Tape Bandits, or that dope P.U.C.K. cut, you’re grinning and you realize why Tha Bloc Report will always slap harder than your algorithmically generated playlist.

Of course, it wouldn’t be Tha Bloc Report without Timezone Lafontaine’s 20-Minute Workout. Twenty-six tracks, blended together into one relentless megamix — think of it as cardio you actually want to do. 20 minutes doesn’t seem nearly long enough, does it?
