Blu Mar Ten At Juno Download

Review: Always attuned to smart remix moves, Blu Mar Ten turn to the blossoming talents of the LHF collective to rework their "All Or Nothing" track. Coming to life on a bed of pads and haunting vocal howls, it's quite a restrained beat that Helix and LDM take on. The atmosphere is a much more mellow affair than you might expect, using lilting strings and gently bubbling bongos to soothe rather than agitate. As the track progresses, it builds in a subtle crescendo of symphonic melodies crafted from these largely organic means, until it plateaus on a beatless bed for the ultimate eyes-closed finish.

Review: Scene stalwarts Blu Mar Ten bring us part two in their Love Is The Devil Remixes project. First up, Med School signed Joe Syntax does some serious damage with his b-line driven re-work of "The Beginning" which is all whirring sub bass, crisply articulated drums and twinkling melodies. Next, fellow Med School signing Unquote continues to stun with his gorgeous atmospheric interpretation of "Blue Skies" which is all crackling FX and a hauntingly beautiful palette of sounds. Competition remix winner Sincopate comes up with the goods for the third and final remix of "All Or Nothing" with progressive keys and an uplifting edge. An outstanding EP all round - buy this and buy it now!

Review: Completing this tripartite of "Love Is The Devil" remixes are re-workings from Spearhead label owner BCee and sparkling talent Sunchase. First up is BCee's remix of "Blind Soul feat. Stray" which is all cooing, sonorous vocals and lilting melodies with warm, harmonious undertones adding further magic to the mix. Accompanying this, rather suitably, is Sunchase's interpretation of "Damage" which is altogether more tough with gnarly, curling bass, rough breaks and plenty of menacing moments. Another stunning release from Blu Mar Ten.

Review: Scene stalwarts Blu Mar Ten can always be relied up on to deliver quality underground D&B so it comes as no surprise that these remixes in part one of the "Love Is The Devil" remix package are top notch too. Bringing in the talents of Exit boss D Bridge and Soul:r's head honcho Marcus Intalex, this one's a winner. First up, D Bridge lends his hand to the sublime "Sweet Little Supernova" and ramps it up with deep, undulating bass, chiming atmospheric sweeps and plenty of dark, brooding flavours. Accompanying this is Marcus Intalex's re-lick of "All Thoughts Are Prayers" which charms the soul with its intricate melodies, shuffling breaks and murmuring bassline. This comes highly recommended.
