DJ Basilisk's SILICON OVERMIND 1 is the first in a new series of mixes exploring the many permutations of psychedelic techno and adjacent styles of underground electronic music. This epic 3-hour journey slowly rises from the dark depths to cycle through a wide variety of hypnotic and futuristic sounds, all revolving around several selections from Techgnosis Records, the label he co-founded alongside Ben Rama in 2015. Expect to hear rumbling bass, cybernetic beats, spellbinding melodies, cinematic atmospheres, and intricate rhythmic programming as the story unfolds. DJ Basilisk's signature smooth and harmonic mixing is also evident, and his skillful use of three decks allows for intriguing reconfigurations of source material. Strap yourself in and prepare for a wild ride through the misty borderlands of techno, psytrance, progressive house, and IDM!

NOTE: this mix originally premiered as Taiwan Techno Podcast 224. Here's the interview conducted for the debut...

◢ Taiwan Techno Podcast 224 ◣
◢ Guest: Basilisk ◣
◢ DJ Q&A ◣
■ 是什麼啟發你成為 DJ？
□ 我一直對電音很有熱情，成為 DJ 就是與人們分享熱情最棒的方式。身為 DJ，我們的工作是找歌排歌，替別人省去麻煩。我們可以盡情的在音樂世界中漫遊探索，尋找珍寶，帶給大眾。
■ 請介紹對你的音樂風格影響最大的人事物。
□ 我的音樂根源是上世紀 90 年代的 Psytrance 場景，因此我最早的影響來自 Koxbox、The Infinity Project、 Astral Projection 與 Man With No Name。至於 Techno 與 House，我最早是在 2000 年代晚期在多倫多受 Noah Pred 的影響，不久後還去底特律的 Movement Electronic Music Festival 朝聖。
直到近年，我在台北的 Korner 接觸各式各樣前衛的地下音樂，這些音樂讓我眼界大開。以上影響共同塑造了我的個人風格，讓我有能力結合多元類型，在舞池中召喚創新迷幻的體驗。
■ 請簡單介紹你為 Taiwan Techno Podcast 製作的混音。
□ 這是個混合多種 Techno 類型的史詩旅程，但主要焦點是來自廠牌「Techgnosis Records」的 Psychedelic Techno，我在 2015 年與 Ben Rama 共同創立了這個廠牌。Psychedelic Techno 是 Psychedelic Trance 與 Techno 的混合體，黑暗而充滿未來感，聲響新潮且為舞池而生。在台灣放這個類型的 DJ 並不多，所以我覺得能與這裡的愛樂同好們分享它會很有趣，但當然也想藉此找到原本就知道這個類型的同好。
■ 你的 DJ 名「Basilisk」指的是一種有毒的奇幻生物，請問為何會用這個字呢？
□ 與 Basilisk 相關的傳說很多，但最經典的說法是把牠描述成巨大的蜥蜴，擁有能將人類石化的魔咒凝視。選這個字當 DJ 名說來有點諷刺，因為身為 DJ 我們的目標剛好相反，是要讓舞客在舞池中狂舞。所以我並非想讓舞客變成石頭，而是用音樂讓舞客感覺被”Stoned”。
■ 你住在台灣多久了？為何會想待在台灣？
□ 從 2013 年起我就經常造訪台灣，但直到近年才決定待下來。這裡的日常生活真的很方便，擁有世界級的捷運，人民友善好客。我生性好奇，對台灣的歷史、文化與地理有無止盡的求知慾，這裡也總讓我感到興味盎然。台灣的地下電音場景充滿潛力，我希望未來能在這裡多貢獻一份心力。
■ 你有很多關於台灣廢墟的攝影作品，它們不但特別也很有名。為何你會想專注在這個主題上？
□ 除了遺跡與廢墟的視覺美學外，廢棄場所能向我們透露社會經濟的貧富發展軌跡，這讓我很著迷。我有一個這方面的計畫，是著眼在台灣的老戲院。每個戲院都附著了它周邊社群的故事，有些故事精彩無比。舉例來說，台東縣有許多戲院出現在橫貫公路建設期間，由政府的建設計畫帶來許多老兵之後。當這些建設計畫大功告成，居民離開，這些戲院就被棄置了。我經營了主題部落格「Spectral Codex」，與大家分享這些點滴。
■ 對你來說音樂是什麼？
□ 音樂有重塑意識的力量，它能將你傳送到世界的各個角落。我把自己視為領航員，在聲音的海洋上繪製出航行圖，帶領舞客進入前往遙遠異國的奇幻之旅

That was huuuge fun. Love & Magic in the house I want to say.
Since the live recording appears to have some ugly noises here and there I decided to re-record it at home (too bad I forgot the Riyoon Tequila Track).
But now I am fine with the remake. Way more comfortable ;)

Anyone into a tracklist here? Could do it....

Peace***
