Internationally renowned New York beatmaker Blockhead joins forces with French producer ProleteR and the American-Berlin project Arms and Sleepers for an exceptional European tour in the autumn of 2026.

Formerly signed to Ninja Tune, Blockhead released his latest solo album Mortality Is Lit! in November 2024 via Future Archive Recordings, to critical acclaim and widespread coverage by media outlets such as the BBC and KEXP. His recent releases also include Garbology, a collaborative album with Aesop Rock (Rhymesayers), and The Aux, released on Backwoodz Studioz.

With over 200 million streams and a loyal international fanbase in Europe, North America, and Asia, he actively contributes to the growth and recognition of swing-influenced hip-hop worldwide.
