Block 4 is a media lab, label and studio located in Aalborg (DK).
While many embedded media come with players from the usual suspects like Youtube, Soundcloud etc, some videos are directly hosted on block 4 in the software-patent free Ogg Therora format, viewable in Firefox or Chrom/ium browser.

- blog 4

news (past news can be accessed in our news archive):
- block 4 stops shipping
- Due to the new regulations in EU concerning packaging recycling (PPWR, which we welcome) and the need to register in any EU country for a fee to report packaging (EPR, impossible for us), the ever rising postage costs while lowering the quality of service and the random tariff of the day we decided to stop any shipping. Every sale was actually a loss already (we were never in for the money) but now it doesn't make any sense anymore. We concentrate our physical sales via distributors and shops and of course you can buy our records on our events and concerts. Digital downloads remain available through Bandcamp.
