Jode aka Jody Newman has been an interloper here at the Foundation for a better part of 6 months and now he presents us with his official bid to become a regular contributing member.
A conniseur of the liquid funk and intelligent incarnations of drum & bass, Jode has crafted a silk smooth set that showcases some of the best producers of the style, i.e. Calibre, D-Bridge, Commix, Logistics, and Klute for 45 minutes of intense, deep, driving listening pleasure.
And as an added bonus he closes out with a quick 12 minute forray into some dirty, funky and progressive breaks, just to give us another perspective on his DJ aesthetic. Happy Holidays and enjoy…

No. 4, aka Static Itch, aka Raj “I got your bass right here” J.I., has come a long way this year. He’s broken ground in the realms of production and composition with a recently release EP, “Acid Singes” as well as exploring and mastering the art of the crafted mixset with various styles including industrial, indie rock, IDM, and of course dubstep. I wonder who’s gonna be the first to book him when he returns to KL… Where ever it is, be sure you get some video for the Foundation Raj!
No. 4 hits us with a ground quaking, bass quenched dubstep banger of a set for the Winter Solstice season. Tracks from the likes of Ramadanman, N-Type, Darqwan, Plastician, and one of my new favorties Milanese, are sure to keep your head bobbin as you squat-step to this cypher. All I can say is Blaze dis one and enjoy…

Our next Expansion participant hails from the island of Singapore. Firman Chitra a.k.a Artihc has been DJ-ing for the past 8 years with the motivation to “create a singular experience for the ears, feet, mind, body & soul” and can be found regularly dropping beats at the Supperclub(SG) with our very own EJ .
‘Patiens’ is presented very much like a tapestry of minimalistic tunes that are surtured together with delicate, pin-point accuracy and progressively bound by elements that are deep, techy and downright pulsating to the bone. The overall hypnoticism is further enhanced by tunes from the likes of Dubfire, Steve Lawler, Thomas Schumacher, Cirez D and Format B. This is a set that is made to imbue and infuse and it does it well.
So, download away and remember to leave us your thoughts. As with our other Expansion participants, stats for ‘Patiens’ will be monitored for a period of one week.
Let’s go!

We would like to extend our sincerest birthday wishes and gratitude to our most tenacious Chairman and rabid culture industrialist, John Kuan a.k.a Proxy Metatron.
The Foundation sends massive chakra-aligning Shakti to this extremely hard-working psychedelic shaman cum part-time Zen master.
Have a wonderfully blessed birthday John. None of this would be possible without you.
Now it’s your turn to “GET WASTED!”
Also, be sure to check out his thought provoking weblog here!
The Foundation would like to wish our extremely passionate Editor and Virb talent scout extraordinaire, Pascal Dupuy a.k.a Dj Möet, a very happy, blissful birthday filled with grooviness of all sorts.
Just because it’s a Monday, doesn’t mean you can’t get drunk. Par-tay!!
I love finding new talent for the Foundation and I have found a wikked DJ for your listening pleasure straight from the Western Midlands, UK. Escape aka Courtney Holder brings the ruckus on his December mix. This digital dynamo opens strong with a 15 minute neurofunk/tech-step opener, subtley leads us into some ragga and pure roots music for another 15 minutes, and then rinses out for a good 40 minute blend of diverse and banging tunes. Track selection is premier with the likes of Northen Lights, Cabbie & Crystal Clear, Drumsound & Bassline Smith, Original Sin, Serial Killers, Benny Page, Influx Datum, Shy Fx and Pleasure represented. I’m warning you now, once you start listening to this mix, you won’t be able to resist listening to it all the way through, skankin, breakin, or however your dancin’, till you’re a puddle of breathless sweat and ringing eardums.

Radzy, oddicon, cacofonix, and myself were all there to watch this awesome gig – here’s the video:
Both you guys have done FKL really proud. 4 years in this game, and our ranks of DJ heroes grows stronger and stronger. Shining examples of what the Foundation really is.
Aiming very high – and keeping it VERY real.
Congratulations to the both of you for the excellent wins!
Brace yourselves. Dj Trashcutter is our next Expansion participant and he has come out with all guns blazing. Blasting some big noise out of Germany, our mixologist packs a huge sonic wallop with ‘Trashcutz 003′. Armed with some really impressive mixing skills, Trashcutter has sculpted a dynamic Hardstyle set that is peppered with Trance, Techno and even Goa influences.
This vinyl enthusiast is also a bit of a tease, progressively building up and dutifully blowing your socks off towards the end. Essentially Trashcutter has created a set that is uplifting, dark, rapturous and bumping; all at the same time. Structured with tunes from the likes of Maurizio Braccagni, Mauro Piccoto, Dj Shoko, Mario Piu, Reflex and even Johan Gielen, this is a solid example of the effort Trashcutter has put into developing his sound, 5 years after purchasing his very first vinyl.
As usual, let us know what you think of the mix. The stats for ‘Trashcutz 003′ will be monitored for a period of one week, so you know what you have to do people!

Dj Evo steps up as our first Expansion participant. This freelance dancer cum DJ gives us a dose of euphoric trance, something we haven’t had on The Foundation in a while come to think of it, with ‘This Is Love’. Here’s a little blurb about the boy:
“Starting at the age of 16, DJ Evo was exposed to new sounds after his first few visits to clubs in KL. He begain to collect Hard Trance and produce mixsets on his computer. Successfully producing his first mixset entitled ‘Resonance’ he moved to slower genre – Trance with lots of vocals. DJ Evo has made appearances in alot of small parties and a couple of clubs in Johor. His guest mix entitled ‘This Is Love’ also appear on Radio Kul episode 057.”
Though not a particularly long set (just over 30 mins), it gives one an idea of the sounds that inspire DJ Evo and it includes heavyweight numbers from Armin Van Buuren, ATB and Above & Beyond.
Give the mix a listen and leave us your thoughts. Remember the number of responses are also an integral part of the final tally that will decide the winners of the Expansion. Stats will be monitored for a period of one week.
Let’s kick this into high gear!
