The Foundation is an experimental collective connected by good music and driven by a raw passion to listen and BE HEARD. This site promotes musicians by offering FREE downloads, DJ mixes, and how-to guides straight from Planet's best bedroom and semi-professional DJs and Producers.
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!!

We have a new face here on FKL this week. One that serves up something quite different from what we’re used to. Bringing in some fancy Rio stylized beats and bass is Dj C0rnelius from Singapore, with this awesomely crafted Baile-Funk mix. Here’s a short bio of the dude:
“DJ C0rnelius is the musical alter-ego of Irwan Abu Bakar, a full-time graphic designer and corporate whore by day. Exposed to a well diverse array of musical genres since young due to the varied musical choices of his elder brothers, his musical tastes were futher refined and expanded when he worked for UK music retailer giants, HMV as a customer service staff & buyer.
A trip to the now defunct Insomnia Club and watching local drum & bass heroes, Kiat & Ashidiq prompted him to get his hands dirty on DJ-ing. Counting influences from Radiohead to Smashing Pumpkins to Jurassic 5 to The Roots, he is at ease with whatever type of music there is, whether it is hip-hop or old-skool funk to drum & bass to Brazilian baile funk. His DJ heroes includes DJ Shadow, DJ Yoda, Diplo, Dieselboy, DJ Marky, James Zabiela and Norman Jay. DJ C0rnelius has graced the decks at Home Club (SG) and BaaBarBlackChic (SG).”
From Rio To Toa Payoh is furiously smooth and impeccably tight. Featuring tunes from the likes of DJ Sandrinho, DJ Edgar, MC Vanessinha and even a superb Diplo rework of M.I.A’s ‘Galang’. This will bring out the Samba demon in you!! Booties will shake!!
Boys and girls, let’s give a warm FKL welcome to Dj C0rnelius.

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!

Ever had an email bounce back and receive a message from some dude who’s name sounds like a Pokemon? This isn’t him!
Who Is Mailer Daemon?
Sydney-based Producer/DJ, Mailer Daemon of Black Gallant Productions hops on the FKL bandwagon with a mix that demonstrates his talents in both producing and performing.
Just like everybody’s favourite energy drink, our mixologist brings a multitude of stimuli and perks, with an effort featuring a host of self-produced tracks. And just like how Taurine tastes better with Vodka, Mailer Daemon drops some equally eclectic and crafty remixes of Lost Valentinos, Bloc Party, Richard In Your Mind, Ghost of Television and Wons Phreely.
Now, if you’ll excuse me, I’m gonna get myself a cold shot of energy-inducing sucrose before blasting this one and waking the neighbours up.

Unidentified Sub-breaks from a Distorted Intellectual
No, really.
For all you generalists out there, I promise you, IDM was the only smothering label I could come up with to describe this excellent mix. No. 4 has truly delivered the goods.
Featuring a motley list of seemingly contradicting elements. From the bonsai-melodies of Sia, the haunting vacuum of Sigur Ros, and even a crafty remix from Coil and Danny Hyde.
Intelligent - thats all I really know how to describe it:
No. 4 - Risque -tracklisting-
01. Sia - Numb
02. Skream - I (Loefah remix)
03. Jean Jacques Perrey & Luke Vibert - Moog Acid (Plastician remix)

05. Lady Sovereign - Tango
06. Vex’d – Angels
07. Nine Inch Nails – Gave Up (Coil & Danny Hyde remix)
08. Sigur Ros - Intro
09. A Perfect Circle - Judith (Renholder remix)
10. The Prodigy - Diesel Power
11. No Doubt - Hey Baby (Girls Get The Bass In The Back Mix)
12. Oasis - Fucking In The Bushes
13. Rob Zombie - Living Dead Girl (Subliminal Seduction Mix)
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.
