What you say No-one has reviewed Kids Wake Up / Harlem Shoot Me by Neil Landstrumm yet. Give us your opinion on Kids Wake Up / Harlem Shoot Me by Neil Landstrumm. What we say This record left our Ant feeling ecstatic. I've been a longtime fan of NEIL LANDSTRUMM since his early Peacefrog releases in the mid nineties. With releases on Sativae and Tresor he fused the monstrous bass sound that was prevalent in the drum n bass scene with his own unique futuristic take on the Chicago jack ethic. To see him pop up on the Planet Mu label is a nice surprise . It's easy to see why Mike Paradinas signed this as it fits nicely into the grimey sound the label has been putting out recently and yet it's in a league of its own. Where some of this stuff is fairly simple and minimal 'Harlem Shoot Me' has alien techno sounds coming at you from every angle and with the heavy bass drops you know its gonna rock a floor through a big system. 'Wake Up' has a proper dirty old skool rave sound with its big staps and bleeps. It's a nod to the early UK hardcore days but with the production and trickery of IDM utilised to bring the sound a little more up to date. An absolute cracker this one which makes me think a lot of people will be checking this guy's back catalogue and realising just how much of a pioneer he is.

About the humble 12":

The 12" is the big brother of records as it's an fatter version of the 7", with a vast scope for an array of remixes and B sides. They are slightly less portable their smaller inched brethren but they're by no means inferior. Often the grooves are spaced wider apart and thus sound much much better. You can fit ample tracks on and if worse comes to worse they make fine plates (should your crockery go awol). Yes, there's a hole but holes are easy to sort out. Once again they're available on many different colours and guises. The best thing about a 12" is the potential vastness of the artwork. Also playable on many speeds!!
