Lost Plates Found, Ninety Episodes Strong: Your blocSonic Friday Rundown
Numbers tell stories if you let them. Today we’re working with two good ones: nine and ninety. Let’s get into it.
Platters, Tha Final Act: TSP Unearths the Lost Plates of Egadz
Tha Silent Partner just served the final course. “Platters, Tha Final Act (Tha Lost Plates Of Egadz)” is the ninth installment in TSP’s iconic Platters series — and it might be the last.
Here’s where it gets interesting. These ten tracks were composed between November 2010 and February 2011 in Reason Studio’s Record program, then thought lost after a PC crash. Fortunately, TSP had exported the stems beforehand, and this release is the careful final mixdown of that recovered material. From wreckage to release — you can’t script that.
The project is deeply personal. “Egadz” is Evan, a producer and graphic designer running Cursed Out Productions. TSP built these beats as a gift for a friend whose music and creative vision he admired. Now, before the curtain falls on the Platters series, he’s sharing that gift with all of us.
Sixty-one releases at blocSonic. A discography that spans house, ambient, soundscapes, and hip-hop. And still, the man finds ways to surprise. Download “Platters, Tha Final Act (Tha Lost Plates Of Egadz)” today and witness how a series goes out on its own terms.

Tha Bloc Report Keeps Rolling With Episode 90 and a Classic Timezone Workout
Ninety episodes. Not a single month missed since September 2018. That’s Tha Bloc Report.
Donnie Ozone — who took the reins from founding host Pot-C in October 2022 — keeps the momentum rolling with a February episode that blends new music and gold from the blocSonic archives. The lineup reads like a blocSonic family reunion: BADLUCK, C-Doc, Cheese N Pot-C featuring CM aka Creative, Da Molsen Twinz featuring T-Pick, Donnie Ozone, Headsnack, Tha Silent Partner, and Timezone Lafontaine.
This month’s Timezone Lafontaine 20 Minute Workout is a replay of the fantastic February 2023 installment — a 15-track romp through the blocSonic catalog that hits just as hard the second time around. Timezone's mixes are timeless like that.
Much love to Donnie and Timezone for coming through with yet another great Tha Bloc Report episode. Always top-tier.
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.
