Here is another HOME exclusive interview! Songwriter, Keyboardist, and Singer hailing from Basildon, Essex, Dean M Oldfield has set a course for himself that has gone from strength to strength. For the last seven years Dean was known as one half of the Electronic duo Ba5ic, comprised of he and his cousin Louis, but thier separation in January found Martin L.

We're a lucky bunch because Marc Vierheller has put together the latest playlist for Radio VRU in Berlin that features his previously unreleased remix for Martin L.

Album opener and first single, Push Push, is a hauntingly gritty and atmospheric track that instantly makes one think of Eigner's 2005 solo record, Recovery, on which Florian also sang on a couple of songs. It's a great track, and the obvious single pick.
Who Says It's Real? sounds like the long lost sonic cousin of Martin Gore's Counterfeit 2 album. Some wonderful vocal arrangements here, and a great drive to the song. A single contender perhaps?

Vanity Fair has a Q&A with Martin Gore on their website, in which he answers a bunch of really interesting questions. The most interesting, we thought, was about their future label situation, about which Martin says: "It’s the end of our EMI period.
