He is native to Scotland but has recently spent 6 years living in New York soaking up Brooklyn and Queens best in lifestyle, culture and music.

2006 sees Neil at the head of a successful creative factory called Scandinavia producing and releasing music, motion graphics and television Ids and a print-based clothes label. New and uncharted music territories are currently being navigated.

Essentially a live artist, Neil has built his reputation on uncompromising live performances world wide with shows most recently at Unit?Tokyo, Rex-Paris, Tresor-Berlin and Electrowerkz-London.

Bass-Tech beats, Grime, Electro-Techno, Broken-Beat, Miami bass, beat throw downs or dirty swing style-lets stop the pigeons with their holes and get on with the real deal.. Landstrumm creates his classic stomach pumping bass, metallic and melodic clangs and odd funky percussive swing lines live and in full effect. Whistle crew where are you?

This isn't some laptop-noodle performance. It's live electronics at it's very best.

Supporting live will be Aberdeens very own Kid Quaalude. A prodigious innovater and producer his recently acclaimed "I Love Rock and Roll" EP presented the public with "rauwkus " 8-bit productions of classic rock Anthems. - not to be missed! (on from 11pm).

DJ beats for disco feet will be provided by the ever surprising Giles Walker and Nil Munny.

Gallerie Schmallerie along with Moosh! Marketing are pleased to announce that to accompany this outstanding underground music event a 3D VJ set is being presented accompanied by free 3D specs and Laughing Gas. Artists Die Ned Die, Scurvy and Grin&Bearit will be producing installtions featuring Giant Kaleidescopes, Alfa wave emmitting light sculptures and tripped out video animations.

All this For £6!

Can't wait for this - thanks guys

def the party for those in the know...

(a chance to get a sneak peak at a headline Triptych 07 performer)

WHOOP! good work!!!!!

[Giles Walker]

You know what would make this night even better?

If the sound was in 5.1 surround sound, i've been reading good things about it here.

Oh wait a minute.....

Ok so you wanted to trip but not risk taking acid or mushies - here's what to do:

when one hallucinates it's because the brain is producing alpha waves - these can be replicated by lights strobing at the correct frequency. a guy called Brion Gysen knew this and set about making an object called he called the "dream machine". It's essentially a piece of of tubing with apertures cut into it with a light source in the center and a revolving base. It can be made at home and fitted on top of a record turntable. It really works! In honour of this visionary pioneer (see what I did there???) Scurvy will be creating a dream machine and a giant kaleidescope - these interactive sculptures will aid and enhance the visual experience of the party goers and maybe change the way you see the world (sorry puns are like scag to me).

sounds good - being a strict Rastaferian I and I can not abuse my body with chemical nonsense. So big up yourselves - CRITICAL!

I've just heard word that Annie Lennox is home for xmas and she's doing the cloaks. Apperently she's happy to do it for free as long as she gets to give Giles a bed bath.

Only problem is that the dreamachine was meant to be used when your eyes were closed -

Dreamachine - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

"The Dreamachine is "viewed" with the eyes closed: the pulsating light stimulates the optical nerve and alters the brain's electrical oscillations. The "viewer" experiences increasingly bright, complex patterns of color behind their closed eyelids. The patterns become shapes and symbols, swirling around, until the "viewer" feels surrounded by colors"

Thank you for elucidating the mechanics of the dream machine - can we expect the honour of your presence at our soiree?
