Starting his professional career in 1994 Neil has released music on several international electronic labels and also worked in the motion graphics field with MTV, Rockstar Games and The Magnificents. To date Landstrumm has released 5 Experimental Electronic albums, 1 Art-Rock-Blues-Beat album, several 12" singles and remixes on labels ranging from Peacefrog, Tresor, Sonic Groove Mosquito, to his own imprint, Scandinavia. Neil has collaborated with Cristian Vogel,

Si Begg, Mike Fellows, Bill Youngman and Tobias Schmidt the best know of which is Sugar Experiment Station.

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!

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).8-)

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"

Maybe someone should mention that this gig has now been moved to Snafu so lots of people get the wrong idea about Landstrumms music style when they turn up at the the high energy cheese gay night now being held at the Peli that night.

I'm sure it would still be quite fun though.....

CHANGE OF VENUE ****** ACIDTEST NOW @ SNAFU!!!!!!!!!:up:

The Neil Landstrumm Gig is now taking place at Snafu due to circumstance beyond our control. This promisses to be one of the most upfront nights of the year with Aberdeen playing host to the legendary Neil Landstrumm. This is an UNMISSABLE preview of new material as of yet to be heard in the UK!!!!!!!
