Ross Allen knows music. Mainly new but plenty of old. The broadest range of music that moves dance floors from across the era’s and across the planet. On his regular Foundation Music Specials he invites guests to share their histories and seminal tracks…

11:00 - 13:00

2 hours of trance inducers, stress reducers, sonic meditations, sun salutations, deep vibrations, drone emanations and setting you up for a weekend of re-calibration. Keep it horizontal, keep it locked.

Laserdance

Laserdance

Laserdance has been played on NTS in shows including Abiu, featured first on 9 January 2025. Songs played include Laserdance ('88 Remix).

Laserdance is a synthdance studio project formed in 1983 by Erik Van Vliet and Michiel Van Der Kuy. The first single, "Laserdance," was composed by Erik Van Vliet.

The band released their first album Future Generation in 1987. They continued to release one album per year until disbanding in 1995.

While many of the songs on Laserdance's full albums are listed as being composed by Erik, Michiel contradicted this in an interview, stating "Yeah, he was actually the person who was selling the records. He wasn't playing at all. […] Yeah, he sold the rights. I was playing the songs, and he sold, sorry, bought the rights. That's why his name was on the songs."

In 2000 Erik van Vliet released a new album as Laserdance called Strikes Back.

Michiel Van Der Kuy stayed silent in the synthdance scene for these intervening 9 years, but then with Rob van Ejik started a new project: "AREA 51".
