Remember when Bill Gates stepped down from the Microsoft executive level to focus more on the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation?
This is nothing like it.
I’ll be stepping down from managing the blog from now onwards, stepping back to take a more umbrella approach for the Foundation family of services.
Our new writers are No.4 and Pascal. Give them a warm welcome
It’s been great running the blog for the past two years. This gives me allot more time to focus on building relationships and advancing our artist promotion system.
Thank you all for your support while we step into a new phase in the Foundation.
Warmest Regards,
JK
PS: Positions for writers are still open. Just drop us a comment and we’ll get to you.
Extraordinary producer, songwriter, and artist passes on
Producer Static Major, of the group Playa (Def Jam) died Monday, 25th February at his hometown of Louisville.
As of this posting, major news sources have unable to determine the cause of death; but most recent reports from WHAS11.com say that he “died from complications from a medical procedure”.
He was 33.
FKL would like to extend our heartfelt condolences to Mr. Garrett’s family and friends.
We are VERY busy throwing together an EPIC aniversary party to give ourselves a lovely pat on the back for holding this organization together for the past 2 years.
We are NOT dead. Humourously.
However, we would all like to leave a poignant note:
“The -point- is not to be the center of attention…”
Like club kids that adorn themselves with limited edition sports shoes and radio-friendly wailing.
“The -point- IS to be PART of the center of attention.”
Boom Shiva.
We’ll be back in the next few days to deliver our end of year message and tie up all the remaining mixes that have been submitted to us for 2007.
Then buy this album. I have. Produced by Trent Reznor.
The Inevitable Rise and Liberation of Niggy Tardust
Saul’s new album has arrived! Produced by Trent Reznor of Nine Inch Nails, it is a breathtaking work of art that you really shouldn’t miss—and is only available online. You can download the whole abum for free, or donate $5 to support the artists, by visiting www.niggytardust.com today. Please donate!!!
We now declare OPEN WAR on the EGO of the commercial dance music industry.
We can list names, but we wont.
We can smear reputations, but we wont.
We can tell you to go f**k yourselves, but we wont.
We only have this to say:
Dear has-beens who teach young and new DJs / musicians / promoters / dancers how to be has-beens. You are facing extinction. Welcome to the twenty-xth century.
You are f*cked.
Catch up, change your ways, or be declared –
OBSOLETE.
Viva Foundation,
Chairman John Kuan (1/3)

For those of us who are unable to join us for Global Gathering and it’s subsequent afterparties: we certainly do hope you would be able to feel at least a little tingle while we get totally wiped out on some (hopefully) good music!
We’ve got some very exciting stuff planned for the next few weeks:
1. Forum. WE NEED A F*cking Forum.
2. FoundationKL.org-customized gmail and shared applications.
3. A FKL Wiki and our 1st Wikipedia entry.
4. First glimpses of the new f-0 site (what’s f-0?)
5. MORE Free Burma mixes.
6. Event coverage and mixes from Global Gathering.
7. FKL on Virb.com
and even more!
Until then, check out this awesome video from the TED talks on How to Listen to Music with your Whole Body:
