NONOM I NEIL LANDSTRUMM Interview & Showcase

For this weeks NONOM show Nanobot caught up with Neil Landstrumm for a chat about the early days of acid house, his involvement in the UK techno scene and his latest forays on wax for Planet Mu. The show also features a mix of classic tracks from the late eighties/early nineties plus a showcase of his work both of which will be made available to download separately - and should serve to get you prepped for what promises to be a huge night in Plymouth on the 19th Sept.

 

A fixture of the UK electronic music scene since 1994 Neil Landstrumm along with Cristian Vogel was an early producer of the "wonky techno" school, accomplished hip-hop beats producer, latterly involved with more bassy elements of dubstep and ragga influenced sounds and 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 UKs? greatest electronic label of the moment, Planet Mu.

Neil's first album for Mu "Restaurant of Assassins" saw Landstrumm hijacking varied influences from techno, dubstep, garage and breaks as well as vintage 90s rave and Sheffield sounds. He is an artist who always seems to be at the spearhead of experimental, dancehall low frequency electronics with his Scandinavia label signature. A pioneer of new styles within techno, often copied and imitated Landstrumm has enjoyed a strong pedigree within the electronic scene.

The success of Restaurant's ravestep sound led Neil onto a string of sessions for the BBC, a main feature on the German "Slices" DVD and relentless live tour dates all throughout 2008, 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 to a useful and sovereign effect. British electronic heritage is neatly woven into a new modern bass experience.

You can see Neil live, in Plymouth, on Saturday 19th September playing alongside the original Happy Shopper Crew as well as October 2nd at new night Timbre at The Croft in Bristol.
