At Boom 2022 I made friends with the crew from the Bike Village, a little outpost where they rented bicycles for the fest and offered tools and lessons in bike repair. They built this amazing DJ booth from scratch just for me, and borrowed a sound system for me to play on. I was so touched by their kindness; they really treated me like family, in addition to giving me a secret DJ residency at Boom. :)

This was my closing set at the end of the festival, as people were packing up and queuing for the Boom Bus to leave the fest. It was late afternoon and I played a freeform selection of energetic daytime psychedelic trance from some of my favorite artists over the past decade or so. Hope you enjoy!

DJ Basilisk quickens the pace on SILICON OVERMIND 3, the third in a series of mixes dedicated pushing the boundaries of psychedelic techno ever outward. Blasting through 25 tracks in just under 80 minutes, this hyper-kinetic journey through sound features selections from across a vast spectrum of underground sources, all smoothly layered and blended with an ear for harmonics and interlocking transitions. Expect to hear punishing industrial breakbeats, warbling acid lines, punchy mechanical beats, hypnotic atmospheres, and memorable melodies as the mood progresses from gritty minimalism to misty-eyed morning trance and beyond.

Conceived, arranged, mixed, and mastered by DJ Basilisk in Vancouver, Canada, November 2022. A one hour cut previously premiered as _The Psytech Observer 001_, part of a new show by Anyer Quantum (@anyer_quantum) on DHRK Radio (@dark-sonik).
