ALBERT / 50WEAPONS10 / (split) Vinyl 10" / 2011

----------
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.

CREE / A-MS 03 / Vinyl 12" / hardwax (sold out) / 2009

----------
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.

BROM
/ A-MS 02 / Vinyl 12" / hardwax (sold out) / 2007

----------
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

AETO
/ A-MS 01 / Vinyl 12" / hardwax (sold out) / 2007


----------
In the fine tradition of anything associated with Berlin's Hardwax, this 12" comes with minimal fuss and even less info attached, all you need to know is there's some brutally fresh combinations of darkside Autechre atmospheres (think second bad vilbel) with a healthy dose of up-to-date dubsteppin momentum underpinned by some devilish gabber style kickdrums. Very very gut.
