Neil Landstrumm Bio:

 

A fixture 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 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 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. Lord for £39 is about being a baron on the cheap.

HEADCLEANER - Live improvised modular synth performance

(rephlex records)

http://headcleanersound.com

 

headcleaner presents a fully analog and improvised set, played live on a modular synth featuring many self designed components. the sounds are firmly rooted in driving techno and driven by analog filtering but the rhythm structure is taken away from the 4/4 by using unique sequencers into 3,5 and 7 step loops leading to an alternate techno structure influenced by electro and footwork - welcome to syncotech.

Headcleaner Bio:

 

ive been making music for 15 years and had a release, position normal, on rephlex records in 2001.

 

since then things have changed……im basically inspired by the equipment im using, thats what drives the sound i create so ive been though various changes of setup over the years and this means that i can no longer play any old tunes which again puts the emphasis on the new and experimentation. my setup now is purely modular synth.

 

with a modular synth there are no presets, no programming, no saving of any settings. its a one shot process, thats what got me interested to start with, that everything you do is over and gone never to be repeated. created then for then.

 

the way i play means theres no pre planning its just a case of flick a switch, twist a knob, see what happens, hold the good bits, chuck the bad, work it, work it.

 

it really is a case of letting randomness lead the way and just going with it. taking snippets of chaos and focusing on them, involving them with other pieces and moving on.

 

its also analog through and through, the difference in sound quality is palpable, on a big system its like taking the blinkers off, the sound stands out and cuts through, thats its secret weapon, you just cant beat analog sound….
