Blu Mar Ten & Submerse feature on new Med School compilation

Both Blu Mar Ten and Submerse feature on the new compilation ‘Blood Pressure’ from Hospital Records’ sister label Med School. Submerse’s track ‘Always, Like This’ stands out as a rather more chilled affair than the rest of the compilation, while ‘Last Life In The Universe‘ incorporates the rich and textured trademark production style of Blu Mar Ten on a track that lives up to its Asimov-ian title.

Love Is The Devil Rave Reviews

Sales and reviews of Blu Mar Ten’s latest album ‘Love Is The Devil’ have been massive to say the least – everyone is loving it.
it went straight into the top ten in the iTunes UK dance chart, and into the top twenty in the US chart, which is pretty amazing for a small, independent outfit releasing on their own label.
If you haven;t checked out the album yet, here’s a few review samples:

‘All too often in drum and bass you can listen to 30 seconds of a track and make what you think is a firm judgement on it.  When something comes along that defies that principle it can only serve to benefit the genre and music as an art form as a whole‘ – Everydayjunglist.com

‘Sometimes beatiful, sometimes poignant, sometimes aggressive but always lovingly crafted‘ – Drumandbasics.com

And here’s what people who know about these things are saying:

‘Beeeautiful!  This is a proper #OneMoreTune – lights off eyes closed’ – Tom Middleton

‘The new Blu Mar Ten album – my soundtrack for  the week’ – Mosus / Need For Mirrors

‘Another fantastic release you should pick up is the new Blu Mar Ten album’ – Hospital Records

‘Drifting away to the sound of the beautiful Blu Mar Ten album’ – Teebee
