Step into the beyond with ESOTERIC EXPANSE 8, the latest entry in DJ Basilisk's ongoing series of long-form, world-building mixes. The saga continues with 66 selections spanning nearly five hours of airtime and an overwhelming emphasis on the cosmic and otherworldly sounds of new school Goa trance. Pushing the boundaries of the movement to the far frontiers, the journey also touches on hedonic rave nostalgia, bubbling breakbeats, droning dub, and evocative ambient soundscapes. Take the plunge and prepare to lose yourself in this intricate sonic labyrinth!

Psytrance, techno, electro, house, trance, acid, breaks, bass, IDM, ambient—you name it, I probably spin it. My mixes fluidly combine different genres into harmonic journeys that defy convention.
