The mixset we are graced with today my fellow Foundationers, is the latest blend cooked up by Bend, Oregon maestro DJ Smoke. This aural h’or doeuvre is best paired with late night grooving, or for that intimate pre-game party. Personally, listening to this with my eyes closed, I envisioned chilling in a hot tub at a ski lodge on a crisp winter night, gazing up at the stars.

DJ Spyhunter sounds like a character out of something Ian Fleming would’ve written, and though a UK native, the only thing this cat has a license to kill is the dancefloor massive! I first encountered a Spyhunter mixtape, as in tape cassette…, back in the mid 1990’s and even then he was pioneering the blend of styles such as trance, progressive and funky breaks, that is his signature today. At the time he was breaking in the Hawaii club scene and has since relocated to San Francisco where his modern day incarnation has incorporated more of the electro house movement.
I ran across quite a tasty set of his recently called “lectropo” that is a must download! With cuts from the likes of Black Daniel, Alex Metric, Digitalism, Sneaky Sound System, Teki Latex, and Daft Punk, “lectropop” is guarunteed to make you want to pop and lock. In Spyhunter’s own words :”strobing white vocals, blinding neon filters, held together with pixelated hooks. this is the party that goes on in the alley between the breaks club and the indie pop dive. just watch out for the cops! ”

Music in Leipzig, Germany may conjure up thoughts of classical composers like Richard Wagner and Johann Sebastian Bach to those steeped in tradition, but what many may not know is that Leipzig has a burgeoning scene of electronic pioneers and innovators with a penchant for blistering analogue bass belches, decimated high hats, and industrial snare hits. Aura Kamikura, aka Janina Otto, and the Global Noise Movement, are amongst those leading the way.
I think the DJ and producer, explains her take on music best in her own words: I find it admirable that this scene is so wide: from techno to trance, from breakbeats to industrial and rhythmic noise. So I never can make a strict decision what to play. My sets differ from hard breaks, dark d`nb to industec, electro and rhythmic noise and also idm. Despite of this I would name everything which is produced with nous and sense as “intelligent dance music.”

“As a general rule anything by Fred Falke or Breakbot will get a rinsing over here and neither of them disappoint this week with their latest offerings. But my favorite tune this week is ‘Safari’ by La Mode for the funnest, funkiest, dirtiest break i’ve heard this year. I cannot wait to play this one out…” – Rhys Byron
Rhys, who shares the weekly Audio Response show with our boy D’Arcy, can be heard every Sunday night at 10PM on Bay FM 99.9 for those in North NSW and online via the Audio Response weblog.

Theta Rhythms: One of several characteristic electroencephalogram (EEG) waveforms associated with various sleep and wakefulness states of the brain, between 4 and 8 Hz and involve many neurons firing synchronously in the hippocampus and through the cortex. These rhythms are associated with spatial navigation and some forms of memory and learning, especially in the temporal lobes.
The Rhythm In Theta
First of all “Made In Theta” is not going to make you sleep. Not by a long shot. In fact, it sucks at making anyone sleep.
Why? Because it’s Vidda Vein returning to The Foundation with this astounding amalgamation of deep-electro-tech-funk awesomeness that takes the listener from floor-filling mosh mayhem to vivid dream-like introspection and hypnotism. And then blowing the roof and most of your clothes / brains off.
A veteran of the club scene, large-format outdoor music festivals, and everything in between, DJ Smoke knows how to work a crowd through an arc of funky, dirty, grimey beats and make your body rock to electro and bounce to disco. Featuring hot joints from Modeselector, Alex Celler, Armand Van Helden, BassNectar, Benny Benassy, Sander Kleinberg, The Discipline Grin, and my personal fave Ben Westbeech, this mixtape set is just a taste of the goods that Smoke has in his sack of tricks…
