Debonair electronic voyager Neil Landstrumm amasses a palette of techno vibes, modern dubstep, argent dancehall and grubby bass'n' bleep to create an avid, lambent palette that's animated and unique. His kaleidoscopic live sets are similarly upbeat. A global dissenter whose Jamaican fixation belies his local (Edinburgh) origins, Landstrumm's productions have been released on Peacefrog, Tresor, Planet Mu. His new rave-step missive, Restaurant of Assassins, is due for spring release. You're playing Triptych 07 with the likes of Terry Riley, Moodyman, CSS and Damo Suzuki: alongside which artists (living or dead) would you play at your fantasy festival? What would it entail? "Johnny Cash, John Peel, Happy Mondays, Twitch and Brainstorm, Iration Steppers, Rage Against The Machine, Joy Division, Human League, Spacemen 3 , Kool Keith, Grooverider, Dr Dre, NWA, Elvis, Altern8, Chris Morris, Lightning Bolt, Aphex Twin, LFO, Talking Heads, Can, Gang Starr, The Fall, Black Sabbath, Stone Roses, FUSE, AC/DC, Nirvana, Frankie Bones, Upsetters, Digital Mystikz. I could go on and on with this... "It'd be a one-off event in a ex-military location, chalets with hot showers, Quality sound and light. No knobheads or robbers." What other artists do you hope to see at this year's Triptych? "Sister Nancy, Digital Mystikz, Sons & Daughters, Bobby Conn, Andrew Weatherall, Twitch. Loads of others I need to know though." What records are you listening to most at the moment? "I listen to new music through a lot of radio, music-collecting mates and gigs. I'm liking the whole feeling in the UK s proper underground clubs at the moment, with the all inclusive rave sound coming back - bit of everything from dubstep to electro to full on heavy electronic madness. Can't beat it when events have a full electronic music policy and don't focus on one sound the whole night. I'm a big fan of looking backwards in music history to go forwards. It's all been done before: just needs to be re-invented and re-produced..." If yr new album, Restaurant of Assassins, was a painting, what would it be and who would paint it? "I did the artwork for the LP so it would probably look like the LP cover! It's a stick'n'paste scarppy kinda mess. It harks back to the post 'summer of love' rave explosion in the UK and the excitement and momentum that went along with it. There's also a heavy dose of my auto-fetishes towards rare and expensive Japanese and other cars. Jamaican roots culture is also represented in there cause, well, without that there is no bass. "If i had carte-blanche to commission someone to do the artwork I would love to have asked Peter Saville (for that Factory touch) or Johnny Hardstaff I reckon." Do you have any specific rider requests when you're on tour? Blue jelly babies? Edible knickers? The complete works of Shakespeare? "I'm a fairly undemanding artist really. Pizza in a box is the long-standing gig joke. As long as the gig is half-way promoted, I've got a decent slot and some interested punters turn up im happy." Any final wisdom you'd care to impart? "Why do you always feel like crying at wildlife programmes mid-week after a heavy weekend's partying? Answers on a postcard please..."
