TRANSMISSIONS FROM AVALON is an epic return to the halcyon sound of the early 1990s, meticulously curated and sublimely mixed by DJ Basilisk. This 4 hour journey features tracks produced up until 1996, building from moody ambient, scintillating IDM, and hypnotic techno into acidic and full-on Goa trance, culminating at 150 BPM. Descending from the heights, the mood becomes more tribalistic and transcendent, thickening the vibe with various permutations of progressive trance and euphoric house before unwinding with hazy breakbeats and soothing drones.
