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.

Vinyl is very very limited and Part 1 sold out in around ten days, so if you want a copy grab one quick.

The artwork features hand-painted imagery from ithinkitsnice.

Natural History Remixes: Part 2 by Blu Mar Ten

The tracklist for part 2 is:

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.

Buy it on vinyl in all good stores including:
Redeye
Juno
Chemical

Buy mp3s in all good stores including:
Beatport
iTunes
Digital Tunes

The artwork for both Parts 1 and 2 is, as usual, provided by our resident designer ithinkitsnice, and for this part of the project he’s produced two beautifully hand-painted covers.

Release date for Part 1 is 26th July and it will be available on vinyl and mp3. As usual, vinyl will be extremely limited, but that’s still not going to stop some of you emailing me 6 months from now moaning that you can’t pick up a copy, is it. Plus ça change.

You can see ithinkitsnice‘s videos for the Part 1 remixes here

As we’ve mentioned previously, the vinyl will be ‘Close’ b/w ‘Above Words’, with ‘If I Could Tell You’ as a digital exclusive. You can hear clips of all three tracks below.
Just so you know, we’re working closely with our distributor to try and ensure that the vinyl and MP3s hit the stores on exactly the same day.

BMT001A: Blu Mar Ten – Close

BMT001AA: Blu Mar Ten – Above Words

BMT001D: Blu Mar Ten – If I Could Tell You (digital exclusive)

First thing to say is that our new material will be self-released, under the label name “Blu Mar Ten“, (that’s right, we didn’t come up with anything flashier), and will be distributed by the wonderful ST Holdings.

The single will be ‘Close’ and ‘Above Words’, which will be available both on vinyl and for digital download, and also ‘If I Could Tell You’ which will be a digital-only exclusive.

The tracks have seen some great support from right across the d&b spectrum, including Marky, London Elektricity, Ed Rush, D Bridge, Instra:mental, Ink, Marcus Intalex, John B, Logistics, Lomax, Teebee, Utah Jazz, Alley Cat and many more.

All being well, the single will be out around the end of March and will feature brilliant artwork from a new face on the scene. We’ll be revealing an artwork preview, and the man behind it’s magic very soon, so watch this space…
