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…

Hailing from the part of the United States that Bugs Bunny always made a wrong turn at on his way to the beach, Albuquerque, New Mexico, Chris Kaltenbach, aka Silence, certainly knows his way around a mix set. Since 1993, Silence has been known for keeping the dance floor packed with his eclectic rocking breakbeat record selection, his amazing ability to move the crowd with his fluid hypnotic mixing, and precise turntablism skills.
The Mini Mix we have here, featuring the artist’s take on Violent Femmes, Daft Punk, Boyz Noise, Atlantic Connection, Elevator Suite and The Beatles, is just a sampling of what you can hear regularly on www.BreaksFM.com where Silence is a resident. The transitions are indetecably smooth, with one track effortlessly giving way to the next, this is set is an energizing blend of electro, rock, progressive breaks, and even a bit of drum n bass… a true WTF mix!!

Fellow Foundation Editor Raj, aka No. 4, gets us ready for the weekend with:
This mix is Fifty minutes and Dirty seconds of funked out, electro, tech and idm-infused straight beats that are just perfect for an early morning pleasure fest!
This is definitely the kind of set that I’d want to hear out at about 1am as the opening track by Skwerl invites you to get the party stated, then the precision tight mixes leads you from funk to the tech minimal sweetness of Melt and Virtualismo. The set gets deeper and sexier with a foray in to the tribal styles of Superchumbo feat. Celeda, and finally the killer ending of Slyde and Felix Da HouseCat.
Raj, nice work on this for sure… You need to start playing out!

Fellow comrade-in-arms, Pascal Dupuy a.k.a Dj Möet, keeps the summer embers burning with the latest installation of his Sundrops series - Hot Summer Fever 2.
It’s deep. It’s soulful. It’s funky. And it oozes sex. Big Boy presents us with an orgiastic endeavour that progresses from ‘hot and sticky’ to a full on ‘Bakcheia‘. Scintillating. Not to mention titillating.
Featuring tracks from the likes of Echofalls, Joi Caldwell, Punx and, my favourite - Monkey Island vs. Chus and Ceballos, it is advisable to have a few buckets of ice ready for this one. Coz your drinks aren’t the only things that are gonna need them.

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.

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!

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!
