Review:

"'Foundation Bit' is one of the finest appropriations of Jamaican dub and 8 bit dancehall to be heard
anywhere for many years, claiming runner-up spot in The Wire’s top 10 dub records of 2007, and
catching the ears of many a discerning listener across all sub-centric scenes. What would happen if
Yardie priests took a bitcore nerd under their wing and gave him free reign with the stereo?
Jan Gleichmar aka Disrupt is among the leading pioneers of modern dub, and alongside the likes of
Skream, DMZ and Burial, has created his own palette of digi dub interpretation.

Whilst Dubstep has moved rapidly through various stages of development, Disrupt has stripped the
dub ethics back to the bone and created an album which is rugged and raw, broken up by sci-fi samples
that add a humour and philosphical angle to the material, but focused enough to work on the
dancefloor, and with enough space and clarity for relaxed listening. With a slow paced skank and a
filthy, uber-bassy production style that has much in common with King Tubby, Black Ark, and On-U, and
a title that nods to the legendary Keith Hudson, 'Foundation Bit' is no less than a new digi dub classic
for the future generation.

Once inside Disrupt's rugged echo-chamber you’ll find yourself immersed in a heady, narcotic cloud of
smoke, moved by staggered delays, endless reverberations and a tranquilizing cluster of distant
instruments and digital detritus all colluding to lull you in and freak your mind. This is music designed for
complete and utter sensory intoxication, tweaked and honed for intense stupefied skanking, one of the
most beautifully heavy, chemically enhanced albums you’ll hear this or any other year.
