Tony Simon, better known by his stage name Blockhead, is an American hip-hop record producer and disc jockey from Manhattan, New York.
Signed to the forward-thinking U.K. label Ninja Tune, he’s spent the last decade-plus releasing quality, mostly instrumental albums loaded with moody samples, chunky drums, mysterious vocal clips, and smokey effects.
Blockhead is probably best known for his extensive body of work with Aesop Rock.
He has also been a member of groups such as Party Fun Action Committee and The Mighty Jones.
