DJ Basilisk returns to his signature psychedelic techno mix series with SILICON OVERMIND 4, further expanding his broad definition of the style with selections from across a vast spectrum of sound. Minimal and dub techno accrete around a solid core of dark and progressive psytrance, with occasional references to tech house and classic trance. Combining these disparate elements into a cohesive whole, Basilisk harnesses the understated power of smooth harmonic mixing to build tension, charting a spiral motion through different moods to ensure this becomes a true journey into sound.

Conceived, arranged, mixed, and mastered by DJ Basilisk in Taipei, Taiwan, January 2023. 

Note: this mix originally premiered on @SUBTRAIL as Trail Cast 57.

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. I encourage you to browse around and get lost in some of the many sonic microcosms I have meticulously curated over the years. Nearly all mixes posted here are available for download on my homepage.

I am open to invitations to provide guest mixes in a variety of styles as long as the details are interesting. Drop me a line if you have more reach than I do, just be sure to articulate your concept!
