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.
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!

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!

Inspired by Howard Dully’s quest to discover the human causes behind his lobotomy as a child, this mix is an ambient / electronic / dub / art-rock retelling of the fear, catharsis, and terror.
Or - I’m talking out of my ass and I just want to fuck with you. You decide.
A fine blend with various audio sources, simple mathematical effects, and logical (?) cuts - be prepared for a headscrew thats gonna leave you bleeding from your eyes.
Dub-freaks would enjoy the mashup of Richie Spice with DarkFarmer complemented by Howard’s confrontation with his father.
Not for the boring of tastes:

Preamble: To everyone who thinks that DJ’s spin only fengtau music. You can download this. I also recommend reading - you might learn something.
A delicate blend of heartfelt progressive and indie sounds, found and field recordings as well as overlaid commentaries from various enlightened sources. A meditative compilation for exausted ears and quiet minds.
No effects were used during the production of this mixtape to retain the integrity of the music / sounds from the artists presented.
Dedicated to the elderly woman at the ground floor elevator shaft staring at cars drive by. I’m sorry no-one else cares.
