DISCO IS NOT DEAD

Rhys Byron shares the weekly FM show Audio Response with our fellow FKLer D’Arcy and shares with us the latest edition of the show for our listening pleasure. Audio Response can be heard every Sunday Night at 10PM on Bay FM 99.9 (Northern NSW) or online at the same time…once again.

Well it seems the electro boat has not only sailed but is slowly sinking out to sea and people are clinging on to disco for dear life as the ‘next big thing’. I think it may be something a little housier like the US garage of the 90’s and then there is no ignoring the urban influences creeping in, as producers like MSTRKRFT push that sound. Whatever it may be i am enjoying the disco and there is a lot of it popping up. Brazillian’s Database have dropped a free EP of disco re-edits by them and some of their mates (Bo$$ In Drama & The Twelves) the best of which i have showcased in this weeks program . You can get the whole EP over on their myspace page. Herve gets a berth on the show 3 weeks running, making good on Bloc Party’s terrible song Mercury. And if were talking about urban influences it doesn’t get better than ‘When Da Last Time’ pretty sure its a bootleg but the crookers are on point once again. – Rhys Byron

D’Arcy has advised that any producers in The Foundation community that are looking to have their track played on Audio Response should just drop him a line. Sounds like a great opportunity!

Of Ballistics and Wizardry

Ableton Live whiz-kid, Blastique, returns from a long hiatus here on FKL with one hell of mixset to kick start the week. And in typical fashion, the listener is assaulted right from the get go with a plethora of rocking-bass-funking-madness as the boy rips out a barrage of multi-layered tracks, stitched with a surgical precision that would make any Nip/Tuck surgeon cream his pants. Not to mention plenty of live, on-the-fly SFX manipulations and sampling.

So get ready for some insane non-linear editing from Blastique and sheer awesomeness from Alex Metric, Splitloop, SuperStyleDeluxe, DJ Fixx, Kickflip and a whole lot more.

One word. Sick.

Exclusive LIVE Mix Set from Manwë

This month Manwë hits us with a super smooth blend of progressive/trancey goodness. A deceptively soft introduction lulls us into a warm fuzzy state of attentiveness then, with dexterous precision, our FKL Ambassador flips the script from caressing atmospherics to aggressive over-drive. With the likes of Fragma, Veracocha, Black Pearl, and 4 Strings, this ride is balanced with equal parts sugarland dream fantasy ambience and terror-dome pulsing big room bass. Apparently this was a live set done for some very special friends at a birthday celebration, which I would have loved to have experienced in-person.

The Foundation presents:

Midnight Sessions Episode 7 – June Babies – Manwë

It’s the NEW new wave…

Foundation KL, I have been searching high and low to bring you some fresh blood from deep in the Underground. Vidda Vein hails from the Beaches of Florida and has evolved from the vinyl-slinging, warehouse-rave days of the 1990s into a Digital Dynamo pioneering everything from drum n’ bass, to breaks, to house and various sundry bleeps, blips and bass squelches that make the body quiver with excitement.

“Something in the Air” is a sample of his diverse music catalogue and focuses on the indie dance music and electro house styles. Featuring some of the most cutting edge producers of our present time such as Le Castle Vania, T2, Digitalism and Coburn, “Something in the Air” is an aural aphrodisiac designed to seduce you onto the dirty, grimy, sticky floor. Can you find the “V for Vendetta” sample? Vidda Vein is new to FoundationKL, and presented here exclusively for you, so give him a warm welcome!
