Blu Mar Ten - Producer 03 (2002)

[randomvarious]

Today's compilation:

Points in Time 005 1999 Drum n Bass

Excellent slate of mid-to-late 90s drum n bass and jungle bangers here that was put out by the LTJ Bukem-run Good Looking Records, the long-time premier label for all of that soul-soothingly atmospheric and 'intelligent' stuff. Here we have the fifth installment in their Points in Time series, something that appeared to have been launched in order to regularly remind folks about all the serious heat from GL's past that should *never* be forgotten.

But It looks like this release in particular was issued in two different formats. One is a double-disc that includes a DJ mix by Tayla—who himself is a producer and DJ that got his start on Good Looking back in 1993—and the other is a triple-12-inch that includes six of the nine songs that are also on the CD version's first disc. And the one that I happened to listen to for today's post is the triple-12-inch.

So, ultimately, I seriously dig almost all of these tracks, but I think the two most essential listens here are undoubtedly London duo Blu Mar Ten's "Futureproof" and early drum n bass pioneer The Invisible Man's lengthy "Stormfields."

"Futureproof," originally off of Blu Mar Ten's first release on Good Looking in 1997, is legitimately one of the greatest pieces of jungle that I think I've ever heard in my life, and is probably peak material for this whole atmospheric style writ large. There's just something that's so extra special about a certain type of song that can paradoxically transmit both a feeling of calm and chaos at the same time, and this is a track that manages to pull it off wonderfully, with its "Amen" breaks furiously chugging along within a meticulously crafted framework of vast outer-space ambience and saucy touches of smooth jazz sax. Just such an unbelievably breathtaking and satisfying all-time stunner as far as I'm concerned 😌.

And then "Stormfields" is this near-11-minute, cinematically chill journey of sorts that's also on an outer-spacey tip from 1997. It encases its increasingly complex drum and bass parts in cheery pecks and splotches of bloopy acid, as light guitar synths pluck from behind on top of thin and squealy string pads. A really wondrous pupil-dilator to repeatedly zone out to and lose yourself within 👍.

So some pretty incredible feats of drum n bass and jungle magic on this one. Really wouldn't expect anything less from Good Looking, though, because they seriously do tend to be that consistently amazing 🤩.

Highlights:

Blu Mar Ten - "Futureproof" LTJ Bukem - "Music" The Invisible Man - "Stormfields" Q Project - "The Instrumental" Axis - "Dusted"

tagged by @charlottan for amusic ask! its rly sweet but i have literally no artists in common so im just making my own post....

(tried to sort them into categories - first and third are different flavors of math rock, second is jrock bands, fourth is more general alternative rock)

For a super bonus hard round, if i had more space i'd have done 2 morr, a dedicated Ambient Jungle/Intelligent DnB column of Peshay, Blu Mar Ten, Shogun, and Wax Doctor, and a more "sillycore" Alternative section with (OLD PRE-2012) Beck, Presidents of the United States of America, Cake, and Braid!

hmmm i will tag @cromerholt @numbereightforever cause i know we have similar music interests, but if you reading this have any bands in common feel free to do ur own and tag me :3 i love talking about bands i like!

A chat with Conduct: when they released Takai EP, the world stopped to admire it

A chat with Conduct: when they released Takai EP, the world stopped to admire it

Awesomeness is a subjective point of view. Some people may fail in detecting the beauty and the art behind an essential music piece which has been stripped of every unnecessary element. For some other people, quantifying the effort and the curation behind a sound that has been used is simply an impossible task. For me, it’s pleasure. Listening to the latest work of Conduct, which is the Takai EPr…

It’s my birthday!! 🎁🎉🎈

To celebrate I’m sharing my most favourite playlist I’ve created so far!

I’m really proud of how this baby turned out, and I hope you guys will like it too.

I’d describe this a an assortment of groove, lounge and lo-fi based beats with a smattering of trip hop. Slow, sensual, upbeat; it’s got it all!

I hope to share more playlists with you all in the future!

Blu Mar Ten - Home Videos [2003]

A wonderful downtempo track from D&B group, Blu Mar Ten. I’m not normally into tracks like this one, but it’s so beautifully written and carries a mysterious aura that I can’t get enough of. Famously featured in the video game, Midnight Club II. Enjoy!
