Hello Foundationers around the world! As you know we have a number of talented DJs and producers that make up our corner of the underground dance microcosm. One of the things that makes us so enjoyable to commune with is our variety of tastes, and fellow ambassador Aiman is no exception.
Typically known for his wicked drum n bass sets, today Aiman graces us with his first recorded foray into dubstep. Although the style of expression has changed, Aiman still delivers that viciously viral variety that breaks down your preconceived notions of music and leaves you open to his infectious perspective. Artists featured include Tes La Rok, Ed Solo, Sub Scape, Benga, Skream, Bar 9 and Santogold.

(Hi. It’s been a while) Back to give Pascal some support while we do some revamping on the backend here at FKL. JK
The Reza, one of the more prominent MCs in the Malaysian drum’n'bass diaspora has spat his fair share of rhymes. Now, he’s behind the decks and showing us a spread of dubstep made to growl the evening flatness into midnight.
Arm up! Dubstep GO!

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…

We have another new face here on the Foundation. KaL hops on the bandwagon with his take on the dubstep genre, presenting us some ‘Bass On Ur Face’.
Here’s a little shout out from the boy.
“Hey guys, I’m KaL from Malaysia, currently in New Zealand. This mixset consists of a bunch of heavy weight dubstep tunes from big dub-steppahs like Cotti, ClueKid, Tes La Rok and as well as Skream. Honestly I dont know how big is the dubstep scene back home but I would like to spread the Dubstep love to all the souljahs out there!” - KaL
There are some wicked tunes on this, including one of my all time favourites. Also, look out for a curious rework of Carl Orff’s O’ Fortuna!

Someplace in the high desert of Central Oregon, there is a sacred place, a village nestled in the Bend of the Deschutes River, where the beats are funky, the bass resonates through the puffs of magic dragons, and the vibe of tribal social consciousness reigns supreme.
This is the perfect kick-back, throw your feet up and enjoy listener… and even a great getting-into the mood soundscaper… Download and Enjoy!

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…

When my fellow FKL editor Raj, aka No. 4, aka Static Itch decides to do a mix, I never know what to expect, but I always know that it will challenge my sense of musical programming, and inspire with the coscienceness of his track selection. “Buried Beneath the Plastic Sheen” plays like a mixtape and has the feel of a soundtrack… And in the same way, it will imbue whatever you’re doing while listening to it with that sense of surreal intensity that only a great soundtrack can.
It starts off meditative with Jim Johnston’s interpretation of The Undertaker, winds through the mind with Massive Attack and Bong Ra, and suddenly you realize it’s too late as the aural trip nectar drives through your senses with Marco Beltrami vs. Marilyn Manson! The pathway of the programming is cutting and hypnotic, all at once sharp and sensual, as it goes from the blazing brain-bleeding bass of IDM to down-tempo groovin’.
Take a listen and enjoy the ride!

The Resistiv3 crew recently churned some guts and most probably gave a few people a sensory lobotomy with their back to back sessions at KL’s Palate Palette Restaurant & Bar. And even though I wasn’t able to make the show, judging from these mixsets, it must have been one hell of a night!
From the most brooding Dubstep to the utter mayhem some absolute killer DnB, the Resistiv3 crew are surely sending out shockwaves that are rattling the local scene at its very foundations.
Featuring the brilliant talents of Tubby, Chi-Pulp, An-Owl, MH, Mac and Kain (Ohm Resistance), this is just, I hope, a precursor of many more Resistiv3 events to come. Download and be blown away!
Radzy and I were listening to this mix over the weekend, and we were very pleasantly suprised at the level of innovation that many of our artists have been rising rapidly towards.
No.4’s one of our artists that’s really got to get credit for it though.
This particular mix, opening with some Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan, flows into a wonderfully introspective dubstep sound blending in and out of some beautiful lyricism and delicate mixing.
Featuring dubstep sub-riders Loefah, Roll Deep, and some really unconventional blends into Switchblade Symphony and Trentemoller; this mix really highlights the hard work that No.4 has been putting in developing his signature aurally-philosophical sound.
A masterpiece. F**k. What a great way to start the year.
