So Instagram is finally available for Android phones. For some reason this has upset some iPhone users however we like the platform and use it a fair amount so the more the merrier, frankly.

If you’d like to find us our username is blumarten. Have to warn you up front we post quite a few cat photos. And interesting buildings. But mostly cats.

Also, is it just me or are the native Instagram filters a bit bland when you see everyone using them the same way? There are a whole raft of photo editing apps out there to use. I use Camera+ and often triple-process everything just to see what happens, so see if you can find another one and use it instead of the native filters.

If you’re desperate to see what other d&b bods are taking pics of search for elhornet, dbridge, sunchase, ed_rush, insideinfo, criticalmusicdnb, cyantific, dougeparallel, deeizm, loadstar, jaydandnb, johnbbeta, jonwrec, james_lung, kasracritical, halogenix, thelenzman, loxy1, mattgee81, trev1no, markjunemiller, needformirrors, preshasamurai, photek, riyamusic, shyfx, subterra, nutone, royalston, fanu666.

Download Instagram for Android & iPhone here, and show us some interesting photos please.

Over the next few months we’ll be releasing remixes from ‘Love is the Devil‘ in a three-part series.

Part 1 features dBridge reworking ‘Sweet Little Supernova’ and Marcus Intalex reworking ‘All Thoughts Are Prayers‘.

Here’s a clip of Marcus’s classic liquid-style remix from the mastering session at Finyl Tweek. Watch this space for clips of the other remixes soon.

I’ve been quietly uploading our mixes to Mixcloud.
I’ve always quite liked the platform but they’ve recently launched an iPhone app which is fantastic and I strongly recommend it.

We recently put together a sample pack for Hospital Records with loads of loops, drums, basses, arps, synths etc..
Not going to bore you with the details again but if you want to read more about it then visit the Hospital Shop.

In the meantime, for no reason other than it’s a bit sunny here in London, have some of the samples from it free. There’s a mix of stuff in both .wav and .rex format. Go ahead and use them for whatever you like, and feel free to pass this on to anyone who might find it useful.

If you want an idea of the sort of sounds included, below is a set of quick demo sketches we knocked together using only samples from the pack and nothing else.

To accompany our newly-released Hospital Records Sample Pack we knocked up a quick video about how to create a basic pad sound.

Yes, we know, the quality’s terrible and blurred and shaky and all that, but it was the best we could do in a rush, sorry.
We’ll aim to do some more of these soon, better quality and more in-depth.

You can read more about our sample pack on the Hospital Records Production Page and you can buy the pack from the Hospital Records Shop.

The sample pack we created for Hospital Records has just been released, so if you make music and you’re looking for a bit of inspiration head over to the Hospital Shop to buy the complete pack, or you can buy individual Apple Loops, Reason Refills and Ableton Live packs from the Loopmasters store.

Here’s a demo track to show what the samples sort of sound like…

Blu Mar Ten – Drum and Bass Vol.7 by loopmasters

This is what they say about it:

“This huge inspirational collection of single sounds, loops and fx includes uplifting pads, subsonic basses, submerged atmospheres, tribal breaks, imperial bells, pulsating pads, chilled strings, half time breaks, future breaks, growling hoover basses, complex percussion, and a huge array of instrument samples and Fx.

One Shots & Sampler Patches format includes all single (non-looping) sounds and sampler patches for Kontakt, Halion, NNXT, EXS24 soft samplers.

Buy the pack from the Hospital Records Shop.
