Alright, let’s dive into All Over Again Remixes by Blu Mar Ten—a gem from the UK drum ‘n’ bass scene that still hits different even years after its 2007 release. This EP is straight fire, packed with two killer remixes of the original track, all under the Exceptional label. And shoutout to Ernesto for those smooth vocals that tie everything together.
First up, we’ve got “All Over Again (Kubiks Remix)”. Man, this one just grabs you by the feels right away. The beat kicks in slow, teasing you like, "Yo, you ready for this?" Then BAM—it drops into this lush, rolling groove that feels like cruising through London at night with the windows down. Kubiks really took the original and gave it this dreamy vibe, adding layers of synths that shimmer without overpowering Ernesto’s voice. Honestly, I remember this track because it’s one of those tunes where you’re like, “Wait…is this even drum ‘n’ bass or some kinda electronic soul hybrid?” Either way, it works.
Then there’s “All Over Again (Sabre Remix)”, which takes things in a totally different direction. Sabre went full-on techy with this one—sharp beats, glitchy sounds, and this relentless energy that makes your head nod whether you want it to or not. It’s darker, grittier, but still keeps that emotional core thanks to Ernesto’s vocals. What sticks with me about this remix is how unpredictable it feels. Just when you think you’ve got the rhythm down, Sabre throws in these little twists that keep you hooked. It’s like he’s messing with your brain—but in the best possible way.
What’s wild about this EP is how both tracks feel so distinct yet connected. Like, they’re remixes of the same song, but they could easily live in completely different playlists. That’s what makes All Over Again Remixes stand out—it’s versatile as hell.
Reflecting on this now, it’s kinda crazy how much depth you can pack into two tracks. Sometimes I wonder if Blu Mar Ten knew they were crafting something timeless here—or maybe they were just vibin’ and having fun. Either way, props to them. Oh, and random thought: if Ernesto ever decided to drop an acoustic version of his vocals, I’d 100% buy that too. No cap.
