Neil Landstrumm, Isabella, DJ Won’t, Dev/Null @Good Life, Boston
Join us for another edition of Shake! as we welcome Scottish veteran Neil Landstrumm, and local icons Isabella and DJ Won’t, joined by our own Dev/Null, for a night of unrelenting techno, featuring live sets from both Neil Landstrumm and Isabella. Simply put, this night promises to be a defining moment in Shake! history and we can’t wait to share this one with you. Neil has been delivering blistering and unique live sets for over two decades, with a sound truly his own, with a perspective crafted through ventures into other realms of house and all orders of bass.
NEIL LANDSTRUMM (Planet Mu, Tresor, Peacefrog, Killekill, Zone, Don’t, Scandinavia)
Neil Landstrumm has released records on a wide variety of electronic music’s finest labels over the last two decades and is one of the true innovators in techno. Highlights include 12″s and LP’s for Peacefrog, Tresor and Planet Mu records and has recently released his tenth career LP , ‘Dragon Under’ on the UK’s Sneaker Social Club label. Other noteworthy collaborations have been with Optimo’s JD Twitch as Doubleheart, Sugar Experiment Station with Tobias Schmidt and Modini with Alan ‘Hostage’ Parley recently released on Dixon Avenue Basement Jams,Optimo and Hypercolour. Essentially a live hardware based artist since the beginning of his career, he has toured internationally for the last 20 years with regular events in Europe, Japan and China. Landstrumm also lived in New York for a number of years but is now based back in Edinburgh working from his own Witness Rooms studio. A pioneer of new electronic styles with a strong signature techno sound often copied and imitated, he has always been, and continues to be, a unique electronic artist.
ISABELLA (Substructure)
ISABELLA (Koen, formerly known as SITTING ADULT) only recently emerged from her bedroom studio to share her odd, off-beat impressions of acid and techno. As an outlet to breach the static form, she uses a quirky collection of synthesizers and drum machines to explore texture, fluidity and boundaries within sound. Building and maintaining an oscillating structure for one to interact with. A concept that’s fitting. Moving spaces.
DJ WON’T (Scanners, Slow Blood)
Will Mayo is a man of many hats (but no fedoras). He performs DJ sets incorporating a variety of technoid sounds as his inverted alter-ego DJ Won’t, and produces “harsh-toke electronica” under the Homeworld alias. These projects all exist under his long-running Slow Blood Music label, through which he occasionally releases tapes for himself and his friends. He has also organized the monthly-ish SCANNERS party in conjunction with Boston Hassle since 2013, which fuses live hardware performances with forward-thinking DJ sets and experimental visual projections.
DEV/NULL (Shake! / Blog to the Oldskool)
Dev/Null got started by listening to Crazy Jungle / DNB in the mid to late 90’s, which then lead him to music production. Dev/Null now focuses much of his time on his website BLOG TO THE OLDSKOOL, 7 years running, that is dedicated to oldskool UK hardcore/jungle, as well as DJ-ing biweekly sets on online stations Jungletrain.net and Radio Frontline. Additionally, he started a label 8205 RECORDINGS dedicated to releasing unreleased 91-95 UK Jungle on vinyl, and was recently listed as one of Fact Magazine’s “100 Underrated DJs Who Deserves More Shine”.
