We have some ‘Love is the Devil‘ remixes from some rather special names coming out soon and we’re thinking of running a remix competition like we did for Natural History back in 2010 to find some new talent to go with them.

The first step in this is figuring out which track people would most like to have a go at remixing, so let us know your preference(s) below, and watch this space for more details.

If you need a reminder of the album then go here for audio.

Note: There is a poll embedded within this post, please visit the site to participate in this post’s poll.

NB – yes, we know, not all the albums tracks are available to remix.
Afraid you’ll have to live with that.

We’d like to wish you all a very happy Christmas season and a fantastic 2012.
Thanks very much for your support over 2011 and we hope to meet even more of you in the coming year.

If you’d like to keep up with us in what’s shaping up to be a busy 2012 you can subscribe to our newsletter, or follow us on Facebook or Twitter.

If you’re feeling extra seasonably charitable please donate to the two charities we’ve been supporting this year. In both cases you can download free tracks from us in return.

Cancer Research
(free track – BMT vs Erykah Badu ‘You Got Me’)

The Mayhew Animal Home
(free track – ‘Pilgrim Soul’)

Thanks again and have a great holiday, wherever you are and whatever you’re getting up to.

New kid on the d&b block, Nixus, originally made this storming garage remix for our ‘Believe Me’ remix competition in 2010.
He’s brought it up to date for 2011 and we love it.
If you love it too then feel free to download it completely free here.

Blu Mar Ten – Believe Me (Nixus remix) (Free download) by Blu Mar Ten

You can find Nixus on Facebook, Twitter & Soundcloud, and see his recent releases on Regal Records here.

For a limited time we’ve bundled up some of our T-Shirts and girl’s vests with CD copies of ‘Love is the Devil‘.

Buy a ‘Blu Mar Ten’ shirt, ‘Sweet Little Supernova’ vest or ‘Problem Child’ shirt and get the CD free of charge.

Only available from our shop

This track was originally released on Vibez Recordings back in 2006.

We’d like to give it away to raise money for The Mayhew Animal Home, which is an animal shelter very close to our hearts as we and our friends have adopted several cats from it.

The Mayhew is funded 100% through donations, so if you download the track please help out if you can by donating here.

Anyone who donates to the shelter will be able to download a full quality WAV copy of the track.

If you can’t or won’t donate you can still download an mp3 of the track here, but I’m pretty sure most of you can afford £2.

Established in 1886, The Mayhew is one of the busiest and most effective rescue centres in London, helping thousands of animals escape from a life of cruelty and neglect each year. They provide shelter and care for cats, dogs, rabbits and when the need arises, for a wide variety of other animals.

Bit of end-of-week fun.

Go here and tell me why Love is the Devil.

Best explanation gets our album on CD and a bunch of stickers.
I’ll pick a winner Friday night (25/11). Go…

I just noticed there have been about 200 visits to this site in the last week from people searching for ‘blu mar ten kirsty hawkshaw whisper lyrics’, so I’m guessing some of you would like them.

Here’s the track and the lyrics below…

Blu Mar Ten – Whisper (feat. Kirsty Hawkshaw)

I think I should go now
I must leave before my red eyes match the sunrise
No more coffee will put off today
I’ve stood too long
In the shadow of a doubt
I need some sun
It seems that time returns to me once more

When the brightest star
Smiled as it squared shoulders with the night
You lit the glowing embers of my own light
Your words could drag the moon down from the sky
Seduce my frozen heart with your war cry

But this world
Will be shaken by a whisper
But this world
Will be shaken by a whisper

And when I feel my world falling down
I think of you
I think of you

And when i feel I can breathe no more
You speak to me
You speak to me
You speak to me

A massive massive thanks to everyone who bought our new album this week.

We’re happy to report 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 act like us.
The limited edition vinyl / CD / MP3 packs available from our shop are selling out fast and will probably disappear in the next week or so.

So thanks again to everyone who’s still buying music in this day & age.
We have no label behind us, no mysterious benefactors and no secret stash of cash – everything you see from BMT is made and paid for by us and us alone. The money you spend on our music goes straight back into the studio to make more music. So thanks very much. You’re making the next album possible.

Our new album, ‘Love is the Devil’, is out now on vinyl, CD & mp3 in all good stores. Get it now and help us pay the studio rent and feed the cats.

If you buy the vinyl from www.blumarten.com/shop you’ll get the CD, all the mp3s and stickers included free of charge.
Even if you don’t play vinyl you can still stick it on your wall like I do.
