With an extended band hiatus looming, Bloc Party vocalist Kele Okereke is already having a crack at the solo thing. While no word has come from the man himself, Glaswegian electro DJ and producer Hudson Mohawke broke the news in an interview with BBC Radio.

“It hasn’t been finalised yet, but I’m doing a bit of stuff for Kele from Bloc Party’s solo album,” Mohawke said. “He’s doing a record with one of the guys from Spank Rock.”

With those hired hands on board, we’d assume the record will follow the dancey direction of recent Bloc Party single One More Chance. No further dates have been added to the band’s somewhat mysterious DJ tour this summer, but Okereke seems a little busy to make this trip.
