It is said of curiosity that nothing has driven mankind closer to both the cutting edge of innovation and the brink of utter destruction.

My most mercurial mix to date, Isosceles is a tantalizing and provocative play on the very concepts of curiosity and duality, full of twists and turns and sonic surprises, presenting an endless flow of curiosity as to what may come next. As with all of my mixes, Isosceles is drawn forth from an incredibly diverse repository of music. The diversity of this mix lends itself to even further expressing the unpredictable but fluid nature of my past work. 

I have created for you a heartfelt and beautiful excursion into realms of psychill, ambient, breaks, drum and bass, retrowave, bass music, psybient, classical, idm, glitch, psydub, techno, progressive house, and a few other surprises for your auditory enjoyment. This one's a trip, for sure.

Sit back and relax as you ride the frenetic but carefully orchestrated turbulence of Isosceles. Experience the full range of riveting emotional fabrics, nod your noggin to some dope ass beats, or sink deep into the recesses of your inner world as you come with me on this journey. 

You'll laugh. You'll cry. You'll shake ya ass. 

I am humbled and honored to present to you my 14th mix: Isosceles. Enjoy :)

Much love to my Mindspring fam, the global psychedelic music and art community at large, and all the producers who put this dope shit out so I can share it with the world.

Love to all.
Nyk

This mix is lovingly dedicated to the humans who have lost their lives or have lost loved ones as a result of the current geopolitical tensions of the war in Gaza. My heart breaks for the loss of life there. There are no "sides" -- there are only lives and the loss of them. 

My heart breaks especially for the hundreds of people killed at the Nova festival in Israel. Those are my fucking people; soul tribe. The senseless violence in such a loving environment confounds me. Love and peace to our brothers and sisters in the psytrance community who have been affected by this tragedy.
