BLU MAR TEN Those of you who read dance mag One Week To Live might have caught the Blu Mar Ten guys' interview in this week's edition, talking about their second album Black Water. Focusing more on the downbeat side of the eclectic trio's output, the LP presents a wide range of styles and influences. iDJ reckon the album offers "an impressive gallery of precision-made beats and warm organic grooves " and we're certainly not going to argue with that. Includes the current single All Over Again, a deep house groover featuring the soulful vocals of label mate and Plej affiliated songsmith, Ernesto - with Radio 1 support from Pete Tong and Fabio & Grooverider. Available on download now! Beatport // iTunes // Juno Digital  Also in stock now from the Exceptional Webshop "A force to be reckoned with... A first class trip into dance music. " Blowback Magazine

NURSERY OF NAUGHTINESS Following hot on the footsteps of their debut EP, ‘Lesson 1’, Nursery of Naughtiness are quickly developing into one of the most exciting electronic acts coming from the North of England. New EP ‘Lesson 2’ features a remix by hotly tipped breaks producers Far Too Loud, which those of you who listen to Annie Nightingale's rather tasty Radio 1 show might have already caught... The FTL guys were winners of ‘Best Single’ at this year’s Breakspoll Awards, and their rework is definitely not one to be missed ! Elsewhere on the release, ‘Eyes’ is razor sharp breaks track with an epic arrangement, while ‘Substance-d’ is a psychedelic journey into tripped out electronica that easily bridges the gap between indie and dance. Attention grabbing and in-your-face kind of stuff that pushes the boundaries of electronic music. Download it now at Beatport // iTunes // Juno Digital Available on 12" from the Exceptional Webshop

OBLONG West London producer Patrick Kenmore, and his alter ego Oblong returns for a second outing on exceptional with the rather lovely and poignant Playing On My Mind. The song comes in four distinct flavours - Oblong's own club vocal mix features haunting strings and a stomping beat that heads straight for the dancefloor. Labelmate Cloud goes for the cooler more minimal approach as befits his Swedish background, while respected electro/breaks maestro Elite Force delivers a mashed-up monster ! Oblong rounds off the package with his Alternative Mix, which to our ears is deeply weird but also rather wonderful...   Full 12" and digital release coming next month Catch the mixes while they're hot - on exclusive upfront download now ! Cloud Mix on iTunes // Elite Force Mix on Beatport // Oblong's Club and Alternative mixes at Traxsource

Until next time, keep enjoying the music ! Over and out...

the good guys at exceptional
