Neil Landstrumm is one of my current faves. He's a total mid-90's techno pioneer with an amazing pedigree of sought after wonky techno classics under his belt. These days he's pushing the boundaries a bit further, combining electro & grime/dubstep influences into a sinister yet fun packed bass heavy concoction that sounds like no one else. New album 'Lord for £39' is wedged full of his quirky synth lines, wonky stepping beats, quickfire snare cracks, elastic bass & even some distorted toasting from a slightly crackers MC. Landstrumm builds some serious weighty dancefloor burners on here that are maybe not suitable for the purist elitist but certainly moved my honky butt when I saw him live the other week. A nice mixture of dark & light shades with some excellent programming makes for a party contender for sure. Planet Mu CD/multi vinyl.Since 1994 Neil Landstrumm has been doing the rounds, releasing his trademark electronic sounds on some of the most recognised labels in the industry, including Peacefrog, Tresor Records and nowt, Planet Mu.
Neil’s first album for Mu "Restaurant of Assassins" saw Landstrumm calling on varied influences from techno, dubstep and breaks as well as vintage 90s rave sounds. The success of the album led Neil onto a string of sessions for the BBC, appearances on Kiss FM, and plays from the likes of Mary Anne Hobbs (Radio 1 experimental show).
Landstrumm’s new LP on Planet Mu, "Lord For £39", expands on the steel-city industrial-rave styles set out in his last full-length venture "Restaurant of Assassins". With several cameos from such stately artists as Carlton Killawatt, Ebola and Si Begg, the vibe is "Imperial British Bass Psychedelia" and all it’s stylish bleepy trimmings. Freshly imported southern-fried krunk, and sweet island dancehall are mixed with the refreshed roots of UK rave, steppers, grime and garage to brew an addictively low frequency elixir.
Cult analogue gear and digital production techniques meet in the Witness Rooms to a useful and sovereign effect . British electronic heritage is neatly woven into a new modern bass experience sure to export well to stakked hi-fis near you soon.
