PREMIERE: SY Rockers - Rhythm Resonate [Warehouse Music]

Foundation Music is proud to present ‘The Flowers EP’ by Foremost Poets aka Johnny Dangerous. Back in the news after being featured on the Grammy winning Alien Superstar from Beyonce’s latest album - but for those that know - he has never gone away as he is always on someone’s dance floor. Foremost Poets productions and his vocals are simply devastating and label head, Ross Allen, has been a fan since he first heard the Nu Groove classic ‘Reason’s to Be Dismal’ on the reworked Richard Long Edition.  It was a record that blew him away then and now, recently played by Pete Tong on Radio One, and with Sven Vath including it on his anniversary compilation too. Ross signed this record when he hooked up with Johnny in New York 3 years, but wanted to wait until the time was right. That time is now.
 
‘Flowers In the Attic’ is no normal dance record, clocking in at thirteen minutes. It’s an epic Johnny D production, falling into that place where funk and house come together in the most magical, danceable way. It’s long but enticing, taking you through different phases and surprises you as it sucks you in, twists you up, and pulls you out. ‘Escape From Dubai’ is almost trance like but with that New York lean that keeps it very much on the right side of the Foundation Music fence. Full of funk, it has a deepness that builds and swells into an epic journey that takes you to another dimension. The broken beat of ‘Don’t Shut Your Eyes’ closes out and is another piece of New York/ New Jersey up-tempo funk, syncopated and grooving with a repetitive hook, that goes deep via its Hammond organ solo and jazzy vocal.

PREMIERE : Siggatunez feat. Frankas Fall - You Ain't

The fifth https://soundcloud.com/kri-records release was produced by a New York based producer Richard Gamble, who has appeared on our compilation Trust The Rust and has received the seal of approval on legit labels such as Marguerite Records and Public System Recordings. Dream Sequence EP explores the boundaries between mutated Wave, Minimal Synth, and EBM in search of a perfect loop and the most epic melody. A dim and moisty atmosphere is often cut by a ray of light but you can't be sure if it's just a flashing strobe. Three original tracks command absolute attention on the dancefloor or on the sofa and are accompanied by a Violet Poison remix. Francesco is another Kri acquaintance, who adds some industrial muscles and sends the vocals and the record into a frenzy. Cheers!

Available as limited lathe-cut vinyl and digitally on the 15th of November 2023.

PREMIERE : R.Gamble - Toxic Dip

Following on from Anoesis’ standout Stasislogue EP, Cyphon look to the interstellar offerings of Ben Sun for the next release on the label. On an axis that Cyphon are fast becoming known for, Ben presents four spine tingling, celestial cuts that balance weight, precision, and emotion with a distinct solar flair.  Having released on the likes of Housewax, Delusions of Grandeur and Utopia Records, Ben Sun has sculpted a sound that exudes warmth from its rays, whether plotting a disco trajectory or looking to the atmospheres of hardware-saturated house and techno. 
The Apex EP sees Ben orbit the latter, with opening track ‘Tether’ as enticing an opener as you could ask for. Modulated arps and dream state voices build into a deep yet powerful techno-leaning cut, doused in engulfing pads and peaking toplines. Following this, ‘Self- Other’ is a rich, Detroit-flavoured journey travelling from galaxy to galaxy. Marrying an electro funk feeling with synth strings and acid touches, atop a chunky Moog bass and potent kick. Take to the B side to see Sun hit deep space for the title cut, serving up a hypnotising slice of mind-bending electronica meets atmospheric techno. Otherworldly arps run your mind in circles, the bassline grooves across dimensions, before an enchanting breakdown opens out into a euphoric universe. Closing out this trip, ‘Shores Of Minds’ serves up an 303-infused hit of mesmerising textures and glistening sonics. Heads down business, with Sun’s signature stabs anchoring this trance-inducing jam. 
Blending the classic and contemporary, Ben Sun’s Apex EP hits that sweet spot that straddles the space and time between the two. As far in the future, as it is in feeling the past, with a gravitational pull that draws you in closer with every new element added.

PREMIERE : Ben Sun - Self & Other

The noises were echoing and reverberating down the hall - it was dark as he moved slowly past each room glancing inside to see if they might be the source of the strange and mysterious sounds. There was a fog which lingered in the air and the floor was sticky beneath. This was the spot all right.

Shadows moved passed him in the corridor, dark faces illuminated only by the occasional flicker and flash of lights from somewhere up above.

This was the sort of place that his parents had warned him about, the sort of place which stank of trouble. Perhaps that was what he had been looking for all along...

DEEWEE is always a force to be reckoned with. Leftfield dance music drawing from a sprawling array of influences make up the tapestry of this unique and innovative record label. Phillipi is a musician who has featured prominently on the label previously and now returns with a new EP which showcases a mixture of Proto - House, EBM and Slo-Mo sounds.

PREMIERE: Phillipi - Hacido [DEEWEE]

Altered View is a project born in lockdown and deep in some secluded UK woodland. There, Johnny Area and Johnny Midnight came together, fomented ideas, dreamt up sounds and fused their concepts and influences into a fresh new selection of tracks.

Opener 'Red Eyes' is a low-slung and sleazy cut with filthy bass guitars and post-punk drum energy. Dreamy pads, acid details and psychedelic colours all swirl around the deadpan vocals and make for something crisp and punchy that fans of everything from Depeche Mode to Joy Division will enjoy. 
'I See A System' is another bristling mix of sounds from beyond the dance floor - dubby broken rhythms and melancholic pads, eerie synths and snappy hits that echo and ricochet about the mix next to dark vocal fragments. 
'I Want To Dream' is a wall of scuzzy guitars run through with another dubby rhythm that brings dark disco moodiness to strobe-lit chug.
The brilliant 'Free From The Lights' is a final indie techno workout with muttered vocals coated in layers of dirt, grimy bass guitars rumbling below and psyched-out cosmic electronics filling in the airwaves. 
Last, a remix comes from Jamie Blanco, a Sydney-based Londoner, Tusk Wax and Cynic associate and half of Ess O Ess. He flips 'I Want To Dream' into a rousing dance floor cut with strident drums and hopeful guitar licks, bringing a
subtle sense of joy.
‘Taken From the Outer Realm’ is a fantastic EP from this fledgling but fascinating new duo.

SY Rockers is the new project from Ryan Aitchison aka Mella Dee and KALLIDA Festival bossman Reuben G.

Their story goes all the way back to 2009, when Reuben invited Ryan to be a resident for his party LSS at Hi-Fi Club in Leeds. The pair went on to bond over their shared love of bass-led music in the UK underground, a sound that was especially important to their native South Yorkshire.

Fourteen years on, Ryan and Reuben revisit those early inspirations as SY Rockers. Their debut EP is a slickly produced expression of bleep, UK techno, bassline and dub, redrawing lines between the sound legacies of cities like Sheffield, Bradford and Leeds across three tracks.

True to those roots, the result is a hypnotic blend of raw drums and subsonic impact. ‘Windy Dub’ introduces the record with a hazy, heads-down bass, occasionally shivering into a cavernous space echo before it locks back into a haunting synth hook.

‘Modem’ does what it says on the tin: gameboy tones bounce around a warm sub, calling back the ‘less is more’ aesthetic of the original bleep era. Finally, ‘Rhythm Resonate’ zooms in on where it all started—the drum machine. 909s, lasers and a touch of perc combine to create the ultimate techno tool.

C4STRO, Klai, Martim Tonic, Lou de Melo, Deaf Feet & 4In launched their Oasis Record label a few months ago via a three-track, multi-artist missive. For release number two, they've repeated the exercise, with two rising stars joining C4STRO on the EP. His cut, 'Got 2 Feet', is a gradually growing deep house loop jam in which spacey sounding synth motifs, echoing melodic motifs and raw, weighty electronic bass wrap round a rolling, disco-tinged house groove. Ramboiage continues the hypnotic loop-jam theme on thickest, bass-heavy stomper 'Rebaldaria', while British producer VRRS reaches for the filters on glistening, seriously summery disco-house cut 'Dancing in the Groove'.

PREMIERE : YSANNE - Tisno Tango

Celebrating the interconnected strands of head-tripping hypnotic sounds, new age electronica and early/late 90s progressive house/trance, Rambal Cochet arrives on this only vinyl EP, built to elevate the dance floors. 

Since emerging in the scene, Rambal Cochet has ably demonstrated his instinct for different approaches, whether exploring expansive sonic palettes or holding down stages where he has performed. This DJ, producer and versatil music curator, throughout his career, turned his capable hand into a truly immersive listening experience. 

Dolphin's Dance is an uplifting music journey with a flavour of the good old prog sound and a dreamy atmosphere. Volantis & Nicodemo elaborated on the title track stylishly and thoughtfully. The narrative flow in Twisted Reality and Virtual Nightmare uses contrasting ecosystems to glide through distinctive spaces, unfolding with darker vibes infused with style sounds, as in Yello's 90's album "Pocket Universe". The effect is sometimes nostalgic, calling to mind pulsating rhythms, bass lines and hypnotic melodies. 

Rambal Cochet shows again an exceptional talent for producing high-level dance music. An exquisite—4 rhythmic and stimulating club jams to be savoured and absorbed in ALZ05.

PREMIERE : Rambal Cochet - Dolphin's Dance (Volantis & Nicodemo 6AM Mix)

The first outing of the new label Way to France records, born in Leipzig and raised in Cologne (including an extra long puberty), comes from none other than Robert Johnson legend Lauer.
The title track Law High heads straight for peak time in classic Lauer style between synth-pop, wave and house. Extraordinary DJ Charlie from Berlin transforms Law High into an analog-sounding EBM-Italo stomper with her first remix ever.
On B1 Lauer shows his other side with Enso: Techno Soul in the melody-man manner. Enso got the remix treatment from Leipzig's highly talented Janthe, who (another remix premiere) pulls off a modern, froggy, timeless version that's playable on any occasion. WTF Records headquarter is more than proud (and happy) to have so much talent on their catalog number 001.
Get the balance right.

The mighty C.A.R. returns to Ransom Note Records with splendid new single, Anzu, for another excursion into hitherto uncharted territory. Their first new music on Ransom Note Records since the 2020 LP, Crossing Prior Street, C.A.R. (aka Chloé Raunet + Joni Green on live duties) treats us to an Avant Pop masterpiece, which conceals a somewhat insalubrious undercurrent...

Anzu is a song drenched in personal history, written about bygone days, when life revolved around a now lost pub in a sewn-up pocket of town. References might scream from the sleeve, but we’re not swimming in nostalgia. This is a deceivingly dark song. Any sweetness chased at the time ain’t to be sugar-coated.

On the flip side, R$N Records and Bytes regular GLOK (a.k.a. Andy Bell of Ride and Oasis fame) has reworked Anzu into an utterly filthy little basement club number. Dripping in sordid fervour, the wonky bass line arrives like a shot the chest cavity, leaving us a little breathless at first. The sheer force of the forward momentum of it soon has us back on our feet though, as we’re propelled onto the dance floor, where this remix has very firmly made its home.

Available on super limited edition 7”, clear vinyl (only 50 copies pressed!), they come with an exclusive, hand printed tote bag, fanzine, poster AND badge pack at a bargain price of just £35.. One for all the collectors out there!

!! Non-Stop-Super-Action-Electronic-Fun-Syncopated-Sounds !!

Early in Plastique De Rêve's second decade I moved towards more intricate, better produced tracks due to better gear and production skills, and made a clear turn towards future disco / indie dance, while still exploring and blending in other favourite electronic music genres such as electro, new beat, acid house or italo disco.

Several artists and friends were also enlisted to remix the tracks so as to open them up to other styles and ideas, and nearly all of the tracks featured here were actually released before 2015 through friends' or smaller, up-and-coming labels with a shared artistic vision.

I then mostly deejayed and played live as Plastique De Rêve but started producing and releasing music as NOO on Optimo Music together with my friend Sami Liuski (Bangkok Impact, Lolita Strap, Putsch 79).

PREMIERE: Plastique De Rêve - I Hear And I Obey [Self-Released]

In a utopian lysergic realm, music becomes the unifying force for every soul. 

Today, we proudly unveil the continuation of our "Make Dream House Great Again" movement with our second Volume. Nestled close to Italo Disco, Dream House emerged as a sub-genre within House and Trance music in the latter half of the 90s in Europe, championed by labels like Dance Floor Corporation (DFC) and ZYX Records. 

We've collaborated with emerging talents from across the globe to curate a diverse array of sub-sub-genres. Lone Saxon captures the authentic essence of 90's Dream House with this intricate jam, Alex Aguayo presents a breezy club anthem perfect for a "closing your eyes on the dancefloor session". 

The young MLF debuts with a high-energy house track featuring plenty of M1 stabs, COHN offers a deeper twist, Yotam brings a breaky junglistic take, Romain FX delivers classic dreamy piano riffs and a touch of gated vocals reminiscent of the rave era, My Boy Roy from Mexico contributes lush, long-flying chords and a deep groove, and last but not least, the Japanese duo Kross Section concludes the compilation with an analog-tape-sounding, break-infused gem.
