Neil Landstrumm – Yell Yell EP

Sneaker Social Club – 24th September 2021

Modernist rave, jungle and trap stylings from the UK don Landstrumm. 808s, ravey stabs and some sneaky vocals snips string the EP together. Even if the styles are somewhat disparate, they are undeniably Landstrumm in sound, with a leaning to breaks ‘n’ bleeps in this outing. Those classic jungle loops are a mainstay after the first 2 tracks, which are more trap in style, and it’s the first track, ‘Spice (ft Legacy and Tina P)’ that really shines here. With some almost pop(!) sensibilities in the composition and synth sound design, with some great guest vox.

TIP!

Always a sucker for the DIY (is there any other kind?) slo-mo industrial / EBM vibe so this one was set to go down well.

In true modern underground style only available on cassette and only through Bandcamp.

13130 Space Project – International Problem

SECLUSION – RELEASE: 6TH AUGUST 2021

13130 is the number of nuclear warheads currently in existence, so as the release says “we have a problem”, through accident or design the world can be obliterated at any moment.

The music on this EP, the second from French label Seclusion, follows the cold war emergency vibes. Technological but sinister vibes throughout. The original mix is in a classic Jeff Mills vein, whilst the remix, from Aux 88 collaborator Blaktony, takes the beats a more Elektrofunk direction.
