You may remember the video for our last single ‘Believe Me’.
Well, it turns out there was a little too much bare flesh on view for the sensitive souls at youtube and it got taken down. Booo.

The Drum & Bass Arena boys still have their version up on Youtube (see below)…but in case that vanishes too we’ve decided to give you an uncensored, decent quality version of the video for free.

Here you go. Right-click to download: Blu Mar Ten – ‘Believe Me’ Video, and feel free to pass this around wherever you like.

Our wonderful designer, ithinkitsnice, has just taken some nice close up shots of the artwork he did for our latest single.

Visit his site for more graphical niceness, including his artwork for the new Bop album on Hospital subsidiary Medschool. Also watch out for his work on our forthcoming album.

Had a SoundCloud account for aaages, but never got round to putting anything on it.
Well, finally sorted it out, so feel free to add us if you use the service.

So one of our Facebook friends, Alastair, was a bit miffed that we only ran our BMT002 giveaway competition on Twitter and not on Facebook, so he took matters into his own hands and claimed that he could get 20 girls at the Glade Festival to wear his home made Blu Mar Ten t-shirt.

Well he pulled it off and for his efforts he wins a signed copy of BMT001 and BMT002 plus an open invitation to come to the BMT studio for a cup of tea next time he’s in London.
If anyone wants to try and beat Alastair’s efforts we’re happy to think up something nice in return….

Alastair – We salute you…

Today was spent shooting the video for ‘Believe Me’, the lead track from our next single (out July 13th).

The video’s being directed by the immensely talented Ross Casswell and we were surprised to find a cast of thousands, (well, tens), at the location. We saw some of the footage from the camera and it looks great so we’re really looking forward to the final product which should emerge in the next week or so.
Not too sure what to do about youtube, as there’s quite a lot of nudity in the video. ‘Publish and be damned’, is possibly the only way forward.

To keep you entertained until the final vid arrives, we recommend you have a look at Ross’ site to see some some other very nice things he’s made, and also take a peek at some footage we took during the shoot. It may not look like much right now, but just you wait…

Photos from the day can be seen here

We’re filming a video for ‘Believe Me’ this Sunday (5th July) and we need a few extra people to be in it.

Here’s what the producers have emailed me:

We need to get some more people for this Sunday mate, Ideally young interesting looking types, male and female, no acting skills required, possibly a bit of dressing up. Can you rustle up around 4/5 people, maybe 3 guys and any girls that fit the bill. If possible we’d like an asian guy (chinese) and a thinner kind of “geeky” looking guy.

The filming will be in East London, and I’m guessing will probably take a few hours, so if you think you’ve got the right look and you’re up for being immortalised on youtube and everywhere else, email a photo of yourself to chris@blumarten.com and I’ll pass it on to the producers.
