Finally Edinburgh's Neil Landstrumm 'Restaurant Of Assasins' CD on Planet Mu has arrived. This is an immensly enjoyable mix of oldskool house/ hardcore/ rave/ bleep/ grime/ hip-hop all put together with some of his trademark techno production skills. This is a real nod to the heady days of UK rave music with a good focus on the groove and yet it keeps evolving into what I can only describe as a mutant hybrid. There's even some Jamaican MC'ing on a few of the cuts. Imagine your favourite mixtape from 1992 gobbled up by a power mac and spat back at you with some 2007 grime and dubstep vibes. Landstrumm manages to take his roots and bring it into the future. Recommended. I'm particularly amused by the Scottish and Jamaican flags on the artwork.

A stalwart of the UK electronic music scene since 1994 Neil Landstrumm has released work on many of the most
recognised labels in the industry.
Starting with Peacefrog, shifting gears to Berlins’ Tresor Records he then upped the bass-game onto arguably the UK’s most important electronic label of the moment, Planet Mu.
Neil Landstrumm is an artist who always seems to be at the spearhead of experimental, dancehall low frequency electronics. Never an artist to rest on his laurels and churn out the same old, he has built a career on being
unpredictable and open to new perspectives from which to hone his sound.
With the heaviest subs this side of Chapeltown, Landstrumm seeks new lows with ‘Restaurant of Assasins’ bringing together classic UK techno vibes and modern dubstep with a refreshed rave sensibility. Neil hijacks dubstep structure and its approach but adapts it to his signature sound so identifiable from the decades previous productions.
