To date, the tight-lipped Anstam have only revealed themselves through three incredible singles released on their self-titled imprint between 2007-2009. 'Albert' follows their lead with more blocks of concrete beats and lurking synths arranged into uniquely aerodynamic syncopations practically on a par with T++ or Ae.

By no means is it Star Trek, but “Cree” rings of futuristic music from just outside our doorways. This is in spite of its sound palette belonging to a decidedly older era of electronic music. Anstam is, in short, a new kind of old, though the exercise in cataloging and referencing past music is really only half the story. Rather, the indirectness of its approach of sampling, not so much of sounds themselves, but the cognitions and responses we attribute to these sounds is what defines the energy here. Anstam works with hallmarks of industrial, but its context may very well be in the dancehall tradition. The potential of Anstam's music lies in its promise of connecting synapses between genres.

it's a certified classic in our twisted universe, its scuffed, jabbing breakbeats and disorienting structure suggesting Autechre if they’d come of age in Bow, circa 2001
