Review: Foundation Audio have once again emerged with an absolute firecracker of release on their hands here, welcoming the enigmatic production wizardry of Teffa to the table with four gorgeous stepping originals. Opening up with the glitchy synth work and crunchy drum arrangements of the title track 'EOZ', the bar is set very high from the jump, being closely followed by 'Come In And Do Not Be Shy', a much swampier affair, jam-packed with bulbous bass action. From here, the hard hitting percussive punches and more subtle LFO action of 'G Wagon' roll into play, before the more 2-step inspired grooves and warbling bass notation of 'Flash' closes us off in style.

Review: Whenever the Foundation Audio tagline appears in the store, we brace ourselves for a system-shaking display, which they have once again unleashed upon us with this brand new Chief Kaya masterclass. We open up with the super warbly LFO techniques and drum punches of 'Half Moon Dub', which takes us back to old school steppers with just how potent those leading wobbles are. From here, 'Flow State' calms the pressure down a tad, only to up it once again with a thunderous display of synthetic mastery, focussing on minimal drum reverbs and powerful synth hits. Finally, Mac joins the party for a little addition on a serious closer entitled 'Sound Business', which ties together some more seriously wobbly LFO creation with a constantly exhaling backdrop of drum and percussion combos. Excellent work.

Review: We are very rarely disappointed by a Foundation Audio release, who have once again pushed out a serious piece of steppers-based-weight with this new four-tracker from OZ. We open up with the super-grizzly LFO manipulations of the title track 'Turbulence', which from the off delivers a gnarly piece of bassweight, sure to turn the dances into an absolute ruckus. Following on from such a lively introduction is never easy, but ''Rust' does the job, focussing on unique drum processing, warbling 808 drones and fluttering melodic glitches across the background, before 'Pressure' delivers a follow up gut-punch of grizzly bass energy. Finally, the unique rhythmic bounces and crunchy textures of 'Imperfect' gives us a fiery finale, putting an end to another excellent selection from the Foundation Audio crew.

Review: Whenever we see a new drop from the Foundation Audio team hit the store we know we are likely to be collecting up a brand new bag of treats, with this brand new helping from Dalek One being exactly that. We begin with the jittering synthetic swipes and eastern-inspired percussive chops of 'Duckin N Divin', a vibrant title track that kicks us off with a sizzle. Next, the mosquito-like lead synth drones of 'Flood Channels' are brought onto display with a reesey backdrop to match, before the pace quickens on 'Last Rights', which gives us a much more organic sounding LFO drip. Finally, 'Wayseed' gives us a tidy combo of shimmering synthetic stutters and clunky drum stumbles, rounding off a thoroughly enjoyable collection of original dubstep flavour.

Review: Once again the Foundation team have rallied to deliver a system busting selection of original belters, this time welcoming back Arkham Sound. We kick off with the monstrous distorted bass punches of 'Smoke', unleashing pure carnage onto sound systems across the country, before the softened LFO pulses and gnarly textures of 'Nothing Left To Lose' deliver something a little more subtle with their warbling design. From here, 'Gravediggaz' delivers a blippy display of system ready melodic crunches, leading into the slower-paced madness of 'Unrelenting' which uses an array of distorted bass swipes to send the listener into an absolute tiz. Finally, we see the last stroke of sonic-destruction land as 'Bloodless' unleashes one of the most violent displays of distortion out there, giving us a whirlwind of a final addition.

Review: Dom Wallace strikes again... Following cuts like 'Mutter' and 'Abscess', the man best known as Sentient crashes into Foundation Audio with four massive system shakers. The title track is pure dungeon tension with its minimal make-up and tense vibe. Things get funkier as the bassline on 'Deadpan' wriggles and writhes beneath Sentient's glacial textures, 'Gravel' runs head first at you with gritty, unpredictable bass runs and arpeggios and 'Tracer' is a one way ticket to wonky city. Don't just give 'Cursory' a cursory glance... This release bubbles for days and days.

Review: Fresh from recent skirmishes on the likes of Prime Audio, DUPLOC and Uprise Audio, US deepsmith Mistah makes his debut on Foundation Audio with three crucial cuts from across the 140 spectrum. 'Dead Psyche' sets the scene with its low-slung bassline and sleepy halftime breaks before 'Broken Record' bashes down the doors and goes ham with the technoid arpeggio and 'Execute' closes on a minimal dub excursion that's reminiscent of Swamp 81 sound. Foundation business.

Review: Whenever new Foundation Audio material lands in the store we have to give ourselves a little bit of additional time to take it in, with this powerful new display from Quasar being another fantastic example of why we hold them in such high regard. First up, 'Badlandz' gives us a masterful display of subbass power, keeping a minimal arrangement fresh with some powerful low-ended processing. Next, the aquatic synthesizer bubbles and shifting drum stutters of 'Submersible' adds a more experimental edge before the gnarly sub punches of 'Laniakea' gives us another spacey vibe-out. Finally, the heavily reverberated percussive lines of 'Primal Instinct' allows us to cool down as the project finishes and solidifies itself as one of Foundation Audio's strongest drops of 2021.

Review: It seems like such a rarity to see the Foundation Audio team disappoint, with their incredibly consistent run of releases keeping us constantly on our toes. This tasty new two tracker from Dbi Negative is a certified blend of steppers spices, kicking off with 'Middleman', a system-ready wonkathon, combining archive system samples with swampy LFO textures to send a dance into absolute pandemonium. On the flip side we take in 'Tension Dub', another pulsating drip through systematic sound design, this time incorporating a more fluttery set of melodies and a hint of breaks for good measure. Excellent work!

Review: The Foundation Audio camp has the utmost respect of the Juno Download team, with their release catalogue never seeming to falter for one second. This brand new drop from Chad Dubz is yet another example of their incredible consistency, kicking off with the luminous sub-bass designs and general eeriness of 'Anxious' before Teffa joins the party for 'Ghostin', an LFO-driven swampy stomper. The pace quickens next as the more sweeping bass textures and constantly shifting rhythmic arrangements of 'Headnod' take us down a completely different avenue before rounding off on 'Let Go', a breaks-influenced warbler to add that final dash of variation.

Review: We are most definitely starting to run out of ways to describe the pure brilliance that we can find within the Foundation Audio catalogue, which continues upon it's top quality run with this one as 3wa lands four sizzling dubstep originals. We begin with 'Bronca', a heavyweight warbling behemoth, dripping with interesting percussive flavour throughout, followed by the more swamp-laiden LFO sizzles of 'Old Mount' and shimmering metallic synth plucks of 'Bloody Mess' to follow. Finally, the charming melodic drifts and bouncing rhythmic arrangements of 'Worms' puts the final touches on the project, again solidifying the dominance of Foundation Audio in 2020.

Review: It goes without saying at this point, but screw it, we will repeat ourselves with a good old uttering of 'It looks like Chad Dubz has done it again'. Landing on his home imprint of Foundation Audio, the 'Foundations' LP is an excellent showcasing of futuristic dubstep brilliance. Made up of twelve swampy stunners, Chad Dubz once again confirms his spot among the best in the game, with the tracklisting varying dramatically between the more 'Anti-Social' inspired spaciness of 'Space Cadet' to the electronic mastery of 'System'. The whole project is a delight, with highlights including the moody LFO expressions of 'Anxious', alongside the exceptional soundscaping work behind 'Life', which links up unorthodox percussive lines with a hypnotic sense of rhythm throughout. Top stuff as per!

Review: The Foundation Audio team are at it again with a masterful stroke of A&R action here as they link up Teffa and Moss for a four track steppers adventure, leaving devastation in its wake. We begin with the warbling sub textures and drifting percussion of 'Advance', Before slowly seeping into 'Synchronise', an LFO lead swampy dazzler. Next up, we dive into more crunchy percussive beauty as 'Bubbles' delivers something super wobbly, before the gritty bass switch ups of 'Ostov' are set loose, alternating between synth pulses and bass heavy groans to give us a wicked round up.

Review: It's been a very long time since we last opened a Foundation Audio drop to be disappointed, a record we are pleased to see continue here as Krook arrives in the nick of time to deliver a spicy three tracker. We begin with a peek at 'Glasstray', a title track pushed forward primarily by its engulfing sub-line, which dances away below a selection of minimal drum sounds and lofi glitches to give us something very original indeed. From here, we are introducing to a more squishy bass sound as 'Jesus, Lady!' delivers a choppy, syncopated rhythmic base, slapped up some very interesting synth work, before the slower paced 'The Cheese' original shows of Krook's creativity on a whole new plateau, smashing together glitchy electronic slices over smooth low end textures below.

Review: As always, we were super excited to take in this brand new selection from the Foundation Audio team, who welcome in Ego Death for four tracks of sizzling dubstep fire. The title track 'Mind Your Head' is a system ready sizzler, driven by a pulsating bass synthesizer, set to wreck systems nationwide, which is then followed by the more stripped back, wonky LFO structures of '5 Finger Salute' to add some immediate depth to the tracklisting. From here, 'Code Red' delivers a thumping half time arrangement, doused in spacy flute lines and a monstrous sub bass below, before dubbed out drum work and a bubbling subs of 'Khnum' bring a fantastic end to proceedings.

Review: Foundation Audio has been keeping the levels of consistency super high in recent months, with this latest helping carry on that theme as both Mikrodot and Chief Kaya link up across four tracks of classic dubstep flavour. We begin with the distant, Asian string plucks and nostalgic LFO chugs of 'Heavy Flow' from Mikrodot, before Chief Kaya deploys a weighty, call and respond-heavy stomper in 'Pull Up'. Back to Mikrodot next as the metallic bass slides and glistening synth melodies of 'Babylon Get Weak' send us back down memory lane, with Chief Kaya's bubbly, dubwise VIP of 'Scale Of Anubis' providing a perfect end to proceedings.

Review: We often discuss the consistency of Foundation Audio when reviewing their new releases. This is with good reason as they unleash their second drop of this week, this time welcoming Retina in for four tracks of system-ready energy. We begin with the intense, jumping rhythmic displays of 'Dusted' which combines choppy hi-hats with colourful chords in style, before the wonky melodic structures of 'Nameless And Nothing' give us an instant switch up. Next, the unpredictable, lo-fi drum expressions of 'No Fear I' send the tracklisting in a completely different direction before the intense sub lines and expansive percussive additions of 'If Not The Orb' put the final touches on an excellent selection.

Review: Next up from the Foundation Audio imprint, they continue their incredibly impressive run of form as founder: Chad Dubz links up the Manchester based powerhouse known as JFO for a weighty three track collection. We begin our dive into this one with the sizzling sub textures and smooth drum designs of the title track 'Insight', which really does set the tone for the rest of the project right from the off. From here, 'Flow' warbles into play with its super tight low-end bass explosions, topped with unbelievably well processed drum clicks and piano stabs, followed by the amphibian synthesizer smacks of 'Amnesia', which brings pulsating basslines and yet more sharpened snare work to the table to round the project off in style.

Finally, the spacey sounds of 'Chasm' put the cherry on the cake, tying up a top draw body of work.

Review: If we were to a shortlist of names as to who could be crowned the most exciting dubstep artist of 2019, to not find Zygos on that list would be nothing short of a crime. He arrives here on Foundation Audio to continue his high profile release run with three original heaters, kicking off with the super-stepper vibes and rolling percussion of the title track 'Rotation'. This shimmers along before shining a light onto 'Sick As A Dog', which takes a more hypnotic approach, with floating synth lines and gnarly bass warbles below, before we round everything up on the more industrial bass prods of 'Tumble Dub', a naughty little number destined to blast the roof off any venue!
