BLOCO ELECTRO

Bloco Electro is a project created by composer/producer Gavin Lombos. The debut album 'Global Beatbox Part 1' was built around the culture clash between tradition and technology, mixing world rhythms with electronic beats and was championed by Annie Nightingale who asked the group to perform for her at Glastonbury Festival. The group moved on to new projects while the second album Global Beatbox Part 2 waited patiently on a hard drive. Lockdown was an opportunity to review the hard drives and finish the second album but also created the space to develop a new project for 2021 - Beatbox Excursions.

Beatbox Excursions grew from Gavin's love of old school beatboxes from the early days of electronic music. In 2021 he has created and shared a new improvised 'beatbox jam' every week and then edited and remixed this raw material into a series of collections. Beatbox Excursions 1 is out now,Beatbox Excursions 2  is out July 19th.
