History
The □□□□□□ Recording Club was founded by Steve Kado and Mark McLean in 2003 as a tapes and mini-cd only label. Shortly afterward, McLean left for Ottawa. Steve Kado ran □□□□□□ with Liisa K. Graham until 2005 when the club incorporated as a worker's co-operative.
Since then the club has been run by an elected board of directors. The first board of directors was James Anderson, Steve Kado and Matt McDonough. The second board comprised Katarina Gligorijevic and Bob Wiseman, along with the three members of the board from the previous year. Blocks' current board of directors is John Caffery, Brian Joseph Davis, Magali Meagher, Matt Smith and Jeremy Singer.
In 2009, NME included the Blocks Recording Club in its annual Future 50 list.

“Anything in history or nature that can be described as changing steadily can be seen as heading toward catastrophe.”
