Unearthed TSP Gems & A New Bloc Report? November Just Got Real
TSP Dusts Off Hidden Gems for the New “Expired Goods” EP
There’s always a story behind Tha Silent Partner’s music — sometimes loud, sometimes whispered, and sometimes left sitting in a drive for over a decade waiting for its moment. Today, that moment arrives. “Expired Goods” is a four-track dispatch from 2011, rescued, restored, and now finally released into the world the way it always deserved to be.
Back then, TSP was fresh off a successful collaborative joint with another label. The plan: follow up with an EP. The beats were made. The vibe was sharp. The collaborator even dropped the magic word — “dope.” And then? Nothing. Total silence. A vanishing act worthy of an urban legend.
So TSP did what TSP does — moved on, made more music, built an enormous catalog, and kept evolving. But the beats stayed shelved. Not forgotten… just waiting for the right moment.
“Expired Goods” is that moment.
Across these four instrumental cuts, you get pure TSP range — shadowy downtempo, pulsing house, a hip-hop/reggae hybrid stride — all from an era that shaped who he’d become. They’re snapshots from a fork in the road, where one project died but the creativity didn’t.
Originally from Luton and now Florida-based, Tha Silent Partner has been part of the blocSonic orbit since 2008, building a catalogue that’s become a universe of its own. With nearly 60 releases, he’s long mastered the art of reinvention — but here, you get something rarer: reinvigoration.
Download the EP, vibe out, and uncover a small but meaningful slice of TSP history.

Tha Bloc Report 87 Brings November Heat
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.
