The Vinyl Factory and Zone Records, known for dealing with rugged electronic sounds, now offer the new EP from dance legend, Neil Landstrumm. Landstrumm brings four new cuts of typical excellent club beats that are full of wonderful weirdness. Landstrumm has been churning out essential sounds since the mid-nineties on labels like Peacefrog, Tresor, Planet Mu and Rawax.

He has a chaotic and energetic sound that makes him a cult favourite who takes his cues from many different areas. Despite 20 years plus in the game, he is still as fresh as ever on this latest outing. The arresting "A Girl Is A Gun" is a fat and bouncing tune with bobbling bass, dial tone-like melodies rising though the mix and steamy female coos. It’s raucous and in your face and is sure to set floors alight. Fun and freaky cut "Silent Forces" marries nagging and serrated synths with quickened drums. It is frosty and oversized, raved up and impossible to ignore with its crisp sound design and busy arrangement. 

The seductive "Night Comforts" is more subdued than the rest, with a well-swung dub groove cut up by modulated synths and fat basslines as well as trippy sci-fi sounds and robot vocals. Lastly, the brilliantly bonkers "Live Slow Die Anyways" is a drug-addled and super frazzled rack of razor-edged loops, blurting bass and synthetic lines that re-wires your brain as you stomp to the beat.
