"Here we are. After the great success of our fourth release (Danton Eeprom's Face Control), we wanted to find something very special for your ears. First of all, we need to tell you about the story of this record. A few months ago, in the London-based Bancal Bancal recording studio, Ivan Smagghe and Danton Eeprom chose the moniker of La Horse to produce tracks together. After their acclaimed remix on KilltheDj, this is their first proper EP, out on Fondation. Cyanide and Happiness' is a baroque tune, somewhere between mutant house and psychedelic rock. Strange voices, tortured guitars, pumpin' bass, and silly organs are some of the creatures that you'll meet during this spaced-out trip. It's rough, hot and mental, reflecting Smagghe's and Eeprom's way of seeing music, free from codes and beyond genres. To make a long story short, be sure it's gonna divide the critics and the audience, so take it or leave it: 'Cyanide and Happinness' is uncompromisingly unique. On the flip, Danton Eeprom delivers a monster remix, based on his trademark vicious beats. In an obsessive atmosphere, dark bells, echoes and haunted sounds are waiting for a fat bass coming straight from hell to take over. Don't hesitate, dive into Danton's ivy world, a real poison dealer."

Artist:	JOZIF
Title:	82988/Digga Deepa
Label:	FONDATION (UK)
Format:	12"
Price:	$12.00
Catalog #:	FND 006EP

"Our sixth release sees the Fondation family growing. We're welcoming a brand new name aboard, Jozif. A newcomer on the production scene, Jozif has always been around music from a very young age, thanks to his world-famous drummer dad. He has deejayed in London for several years. His trademark mesmerizing house and quirky attitude quickly got him massive attention and support from British tastemakers such as Craig Richards, Andrew Weatherall or Leftroom's Matt Tolfrey. 82988/Digga Deepa is his debut EP. In '82988,' bleeps and synths are running after a deviant bass, all of them taking turns in invading the dancefloor. An epic tune made of dissonant stems matching one another precisely to create a very pulsating house/techno beat, not unlike Konrad Black or Maetrik. On the flip, 'Digga Deepa' takes the hypnotic way. A grower based on a vicious and highly addictive gimmick. Think of a haunted nine-minute apnea able to take any dancefloor to unsuspected heights."

Artist:	EEPROM, DANTON
Title:	La Mort Au Large
Label:	FONDATION (UK)
Format:	12"
Price:	$12.00
Catalog #:	FND 008EP

"This release has a special place in my discography in the sense that it gathers what I consider as the rough expression, the genesis of this string of tracks, and the most achieved, savagely-crafted and potentially toxic piece I've ever written to date on the same record. Track after track, I tried to push the concept a bit further by delaying as much as possible the time when a slight change kicks in, fitting it in at the very moment the listener starts to think that after all, there might be something wrong with the track. The goal was to be constantly on the edge of boredom but never going quite there. Making these changes very subtle makes it very difficult for the dancer to feel the tension building up all along the track, creating a feeling of disorientation; and before you knew it the outside world was gone astray. Once you're stuck in, no matter how unnerving or frustrating it gets, you're stuck in. It becomes mesmerizing to the point you want to know how it all ends up, if it ever comes to an end. A bit like being unable to keep your eyes off the dancing flames in a fireplace. A bit like reading this text." - Danton Eeprom, London, December 2008.
