We’d love to give the prizes to everyone who entered but unfortunately we can’t.

So please can all of you email us your addresses as soon as possible.

So, without further ado, the winners are…..

In 3rd place, with 73 votes – Alastair Filthybeats and his home-made BMT festival Tshirt

In 2nd place, with 97 votes – Roger Berkley and his Lego wonderland

And in 1st place, picking up 103 votes with his elaborate Black Water tableaux is Canada’s favourite; Kir Mokum

Kir wins:

1) A vinyl copy of Natural History Remixes: Part 1 (Seba & Bop)

2) A vinyl copy of Natural History Remixes: Part 2 (Klute & Stray)

3) The ORIGINAL, ONE-OFF, ACETATE DUBPLATE of ‘Believe Me’ / ‘Made of Air’, cut by the legendary Shane @ Finyl Tweek Mastering

Part 2 of the Natural History Remixes is in all good stores right now on vinyl and mp3, featuring reworkings from Klute, Stray and Kastle.

By the Time My Light Reaches You I’ll Be Gone (Klute remix) – Vinyl & digital
If I Could Tell You (Stray remix) – Vinyl & digital
Nobody Here (Kastle remix) – digital only

Klute’s turned in a bongo-frenzy version of ‘By The Time My Light Reaches You I’ll Be Gone’ while Stray has transformed ‘If I Could Tell You’ into one of the best grooves we’ve heard in ages. Meanwhile, dubstep wonder kid Kastle has done what he does best and dragged ‘Nobody Here’ into some lo-slung gangster boogie territory.

A quick reminder that we’re having Blu Mar Ten’s birthday party this Saturday (21st Aug) to celebrate 15 years of knocking out incredibly niche electronic music, and everyone who’s ever bought, pirated, played, laughed at or otherwise enjoyed our little tunes is invited along too.

WHERE & WHEN
The weather forecast is favourable right now, so assuming there’s sunshine we’ll be on Parliament Hill, Hampstead Heath from 14:00 until whenever.

If you don’t already know it, Parliament Hill is where everyone goes to fly kites and overlooks the whole of London. See it on GoogleMaps HERE.

If it’s raining, we’ll relocate to The Garden Gate pub, which is just a couple of minutes away in South End Green. See directions from Parliament Hill to the Garden Gate HERE.

TRANSPORT
It’s really easy to get to Hampstead Heath. To give you an idea, this is the route from Trafalgar Square to Parliament Hill

Trains
Hampstead Heath or Gospel Oak overground stations bring you pretty much directly to the location and connect to several other lines across London.

Tube
Nearest tube stations are either Belsize Park or Hampstead, both on the Northern Line

Buses
Several buses stop at South End Green which is next to the Heath.
The 24 bus runs through central London, (Charing Cross Rd / Tottenham Court Rd / Camden etc..), and terminates at South End Green so you can’t get lost if you hop on that.
The 168 bus also terminates at South End Green and comes from Central London.
The 46 bus comes from Farringdon, (going through Kings Cross / St Pancras / Camden and passes through South End Green.
There are a few other buses that go through South End Green, but I can’t remember what they are. Anyway, once you’re at South End Green you’re just a few minutes walk from the location. Map HERE.

FOOD / DRINK
We’ll provide a bunch of drinks, (or put some money behind the bar at the Garden Gate if it’s raining), but we’re not *that* rich and some of you drink pretty heavily, so if you’d like to bring some additional alcohol / soft drinks / snacks then please feel free.

So yeah, hopefully see some of you there.

Visit the Facebook event page if you want to see who else is coming.

Email us if you get stuck. We’ll be picking up messages all the time.

Exclusive to PandaDnB, one of the biggest d&b channels on Youtube, here are the videos for the Klute, Stray & Kastle remixes on Part 2 of the Natural History Remixes. As usual, all videos created by ithinkitsnice.

Release date for these is 23rd August 2010.
