Anstam has been played on NTS shows including Modeselektor, with My Dreams Are Made Of Steam first played on 21 October 2012.

Anstam used to be a duo. They are brothers from Germany called Jan and Lars Stöwe but only Lars is left. They were responsible for a now legendary trilogy of 12″ releases in 2007-9 – ‘Aeto’, ‘Brom’ and ‘Cree’ – that assimilated the hardest, most dystopian flavours of dubstep, grime and junglism into a disciplined, techno-savvy framework that betrays their Berlin provenance. Lars Stöwe released in 2011-10 Anstam's debut record named "dispel dances" on Monkeytown's sublabel 50weapons. Track nine named black friesian monoliths is produced with his brother Jan, all other tracks are produced by Lars only.

His second album called 'stones and woods' is released on October 26th 2012 by 50weapons, too.
