Blu Mar Ten vs Inside Info Promo Mix

The groundswell is building in the run up to Blu Mar Ten’s 5th release on their own label of the same name.  “Still The One” is a collaboration with Inside Info and is the first single release from their new album to be released winter 2011.

Clips of the tracks are available via the band’s soundcloud and can be heard by clicking play below, or by heading over to UKF or Skank&Bass youtube channels.
Listeners to John B and Hospital Record’s podcasts will be well aware of this track from the heavy support coming from these names.

To further support the release Blu Mar Ten and Inside Info have put together this DJ Mix (which features both tracks from their new single) and will be available for shows together in the autumn.  Click play for the mix – track list is after the jump.

And here are those clips from the new single – out 4th July.

Blu Mar Ten – New Single

Blu Mar Ten have just dropped us a line announcing that they plan to release a brand new album later this year!
The album will be released in the autumn, with the first single coming out june / july 2011. The single promises to be a surprise fans of both ends of the drum n bass spectrum – they’re collaborating with Insideinfo on a track entitled “Still the One”.  On the flip is a track called “Five Summers” which is in a simliar vein to “If I Could Tell You” from the last album.

Blu Mar Ten and Insideinfo are so happy working together they’ve decided to take it to the clubs, DJing together in a show that will be a journey through the entire spectrum of 170bpm beats – the complete drum n bass experience.

Watch this space for updates on the project and (hopefully) a taste of Blu Mar Ten & Insideinfo in the mix.  In the meantime you can catch a preview of what the track is sounding like from this video of the mastering session at Finyl Tweek Studios.  There will be soundcloud link online soon.

Blu Mar Ten Raising Money For Charity

Blu Mar Ten are raising money for charity, Cancer Research UK to be precise, and to do this they are giving away their remix of Erykah Badu & The Roots ‘You Got Me’.
The track was released ten years ago as a limited edition one-sided 12″ and has been fetching silly money on eBay ever since. In their words ‘It’s probably the most popular track we’ve ever made and this is why we’ve decided to use it to raise cash for the charity.”

People can download a copy of the track in return for a donation to Cancer Research UK. All money is donated directly to Cancer Research UK though www.justgiving.com and is not administered by BMT at all.
Their aim was to raise £2000 for the charity, a target which they have smashed in just 2 days!!  But they don’t want to stop there… so please get yourself over to www.blumarten.com/cancerresearch and donate to download and help support their efforts and this worthy cause.

Blu Mar Ten 2011

With new singles, a new album, new collaborations, some free tunes and new mixes all coming out in 2011, Blu Mar Ten have been surprisingly retrospective of late, particularly with their soundcloud uploads.  Don’t let the picture disturb you, no-one has died – thats just us trying to be clever on the whole ‘looking into the past’ thing.
Actually its a very good thing for Blu Mar Ten fans out there and anyone who was into drum n bass “back in the day”.

BMT have been digging through everything from their old record boxes to their old boxes of dats.  They’ve even been dusting down boxes full of such distant technology as C90s – they’re cassette tapes for those of you who think CDs are old school.
All this digging has unearthed a vast array of gems from their back catalogue, and they’ve kindly taken the time and effort to clean them up as much as possible, digitise them, and upload them onto their soundcloud account.  Head on over and relive the glory – its an impressive collection which makes you realise just how long Blu Mar Ten have been making amazing music.  That they are still so relevant today makes it all the more impressive.

This is just a taste of what awaits you at their soundcloud page:

Blu Mar Ten Med School Mix

The giving just doesn’t stop over at Blu Mar Ten Towers.  Following the 13 remixes that were put up (and still available) for free download to celebrate the release of Natural History: Revision, they’ve also put together this mix in the run-up to their performance at Fabric on 7th January 2011 as part of the Hospitality night.

You can find them in room 3 with the Med School lot alongside London Electricity amongst others.

Check out the clips of the remix competition winners which will appear on the album:

Blu Mar Ten ‘Nobody Here’

I said in the last post about Blu Mar Ten that this was a particular favourite remix.  The track hung around in the dubstep beatport chart for many days and is a favourite remix amongst fans.  Kastle his own unique twist on this, which is why it stands out so much for us here, but props must go to Blu Mar Ten who provided a stunning set of tools with which to make a remix!

With the interest in their forthcoming album ‘Natural History: Revision’ starting to build following the announcement of the competition winners (which will be included on the album) we thought we would post the youtube videos for the Kastle remix and as this is about Blu Mar Ten, here is their original version, which is a belter!
