DJ Basilisk probes the hypnotic depths of psychedelic techno on SILICON OVERMIND 6, the latest in his signature series situating the style in a wider context. From a murky and cavernous beginning this mix steadily builds tension, digging deep into mechanical grooves and sinister atmospheres. Reaching a muscular and energetic peak in the very center, the mood gradually transforms into something brighter and more playful, drifting into a long, dreamy comedown and a return to mortal realms. As always, Basilisk's attention to detail and mastery of harmonic mixing ensures sublime transitions; tracks merge into one another, producing a sensation of endless movement until the very last beat drops.

Basilisk is a veteran multi-genre DJ, co-founder of the psychedelic techno label @Techgnosis-Records alongside @benramamusic, founder of the iconic @Ektoplazm free music portal and label group (including Ektoplazm, Drumlore, and Omnitropic), lossless audio enthusiast, and dedicated archivist and electronic music curator. Originally hailing from Toronto, Canada, he is now based in Taipei, Taiwan.

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!
