Evolve Dance Culture
I’ve always felt that great beginnings start with gratitude. As we glide into 2008 and into our 3rd year of operations, Radzy, thesuperglo, and myself would like to first express our deepest thanks to the following crews who have been leant us their support and shared their kind wisdom with us:
Junk Magazine
Bongo!
Om Project
WBER / Electrobank
Loops Collective
Tempo Events
Maison
Flava Events
The People of Cure
Radio Schizoid
Blentwell
A Loud Noise Turns 2!
We created FoundationKL.org as a platform for underground and bedroom DJ’s to gain exposure on the Internet, the largest and greatest audience that any musician would need to work their way higher and higher towards self-actualization.
However, since our inception on New Year’s Day 2006 we have become a driving force in the next stage of evolution in the global dance music culture; from a culture of self-absorbed fashionable ego-tripping into a new artistic philosophy based on mutual respect, understanding, peace, and goodwill.
This is what we have accomplished:
Transforming FoundationKL.org into a globally read blog that has an average of 20 - 30 THOUSAND Unique Users per month. We’re not a gigantic website, but we have an excellent following of die hard readers and listeners.
We successfully promoted over 22 DJs and producers through the web as well as through print and online radio channels. Increasing awareness of a global DJ underground as well as motivating up and coming musicians to represent themselves on a global stage, DIY or Die.
Participated and joined in the efforts to create awarness for the Burma Crisis through the Free Burma Campaign by informing and educating the DJ and dance music communities through music downloads. Imagine, somewhere out there right now, someone has a Free Burma mix on their MP3 player reminding them that the people of Burma have a long road towards freedom. Every bit of mind-share counts and slowly but surely we will play on when Burma is finally liberated from the Junta.
We even managed to throw a few of our own parties. But we’ll get to that later on this week!
But MOST OF ALL we’ve made some great friends, had some great times, and had a hell of allot of fun. We can’t thank all of you enough for that!
We will continue playing on. That’s what we do. Whether there are sponsorships, endorsements, or resistance to OUR culture. The global Foundation plays on.
This year. We will play EXTRA loud. We will evolve dance culture.
Together.
On that point, I would like to acknowledge out initial batch of DJs / Producers who have participated with the project since it’s founding…
