Basilisk Posted April 8, 2021 Share Posted April 8, 2021 Hey all! I have two mixes to share in this thread. Both are recent recordings, unusually long, and feature music from the last decade or so. I put a huge amount of work into both of them and hope this forum is still home to some adventurous listeners dig in! This first mix was recorded to showcase the Techgnosis Records sound... but there's a lot more going on here than just that! Full details and download links: https://djbasilisk.com/mixes/esoteric-expanse-1/ This second mix is too long to fit on SoundCloud... my goal was to create something unhindered by time constraints without repeating any project or label. The end result spirals through quite a few different styles before returning to where it began: Full details and download links: https://djbasilisk.com/mixes/dj-basilisk-uroboros-1/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
juril Posted April 15, 2021 Share Posted April 15, 2021 Really appreciate https://fromearthorbit.com/mixes/. Have listened to most of the mixes there, Hermetic Expanse being a recent favorite. Looking forward to Uroboros-1. But I do enjoy them all and thus have them backed up on an external HD. Thanks for your continued effort.

Basilisk Posted May 28, 2021 Author Share Posted May 28, 2021 Thank you for the comments it's a rare pleasure these days, when people are often too busy to comment on music, much less DJ mixes! I have two more coming out soon, both premiering on their respective channels before I eventually post them on my own site. "Radiant Flux" will be debuting on Radiozora tomorrow (Saturday, May 29th); check their homepage or Facebook for the schedule if you happen to catch this message... but for now, here's a guest mix I made for Digital Diamonds featuring 100% psychedelic techno gems! https://soundcloud.com/digital-diamonds-netlabel/digitaldiamonds-podcast-035-by-dj-basilisk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Basilisk Posted July 2, 2021 Author Share Posted July 2, 2021 My guest mix for Digital Diamonds is now streaming on my channels: You can also download the mix and read more information on my site: https://djbasilisk.com/mixes/digital-diamonds-podcast-35/ I also un earthed a classic progressive house set I played a couple of years ago... it's nowhere near as polished as the other new mixes I'm posting but might be of some interest. All tracks from 2002 to 2006 or thereabouts: It's also available for download from my site: https://djbasilisk.com/mixes/prototypes-3/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Basilisk Posted July 5, 2021 Author Share Posted July 5, 2021 Sure! I have a bunch of Goa trance sets that I would recommend. This one documents high-intensity night-time psychedelic trance of the late 90s: https://djbasilisk.com/mixes/blacklight-metropolis/ This one is in a similar vein but more technoid: https://djbasilisk.com/mixes/moonshadow/ A unique mix exploring 120 BPM Goa trance and compatible styles: https://djbasilisk.com/mixes/circadian-rhythms/ If you just want to be blasted by a bunch of morning classics: https://djbasilisk.com/mixes/regenerate-2011/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Basilisk Posted July 7, 2021 Author Share Posted July 7, 2021 Esoteric Expanse 2 (formerly Radiant Expanse) is out today! 4+ hours of summer festival sounds, mostly centered on progressive psytrance and progressive house, with onward excursions into midtempo breaks, chill out, and beatless ambient. Tune in and get lost! Full track list and download links available on my site: https://djbasilisk.com/mixes/esoteric-expanse-2/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
juril Posted July 11, 2021 Share Posted July 11, 2021 Thanks for the new additions! The .flac download of Radiant Expanse is broken at the moment. Edit: works now. Out of curiosity, how long does it take to make those mixes? I imagine it's a rather time-consuming process. Also, I've noticed that some of the Synaptic FX mixes have morphed into DJ Basilisk mixes - what's up with that? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Basilisk Posted July 11, 2021 Author Share Posted July 11, 2021 Sorry about the trouble with download links. I've been receiving sporadic reports that those links don't always work... I'll look into it, but in the meantime, just keep trying Most of the new mixes are pretty time-consuming, but I've got a really solid workflow in place, and I record in multiple sessions when I need to, so it all works out. Composing/arranging/practising is probably the biggest time sink. Editing tracks might take some extra time, depending on what material I decide to use (most of my new mixes contain edits, and some of them require many hours of additional work). Recording goes by relatively quickly; I tend to use the first take rather than recording the same sequence multiple times. Post-production can be pretty arduous, particularly since I'm adjusting the level of compression from track to track in Ableton these days. And then there's all the work involved in completely fleshing out track listings, time-stamping the mix to make cue sheets, cover design, authoring promo text, uploading, promotion and whatever else. And yeah, some old mixes were ret-conned into my work as DJ Basilisk. At some point I decided I rather not bother with multiple identities, different social media accounts, paying for more than one SoundCloud, etc. I'm also trying to make cross-genre experimentation and ambitious mixcrafting my brand rather than saying "this is my psytrance project" and "this is my house/techno project". Maybe it's foolish from a marketing perspective but since I'm not really playing out much anymore I'm inclined to pursue my musical vision without concern for such things.

Basilisk Posted August 6, 2021 Author Share Posted August 6, 2021 I have another new mix premiering today, the first of at least three this month. This one starts super chill but goes harder than most of the other recent mixes I've been pumping out. It peaks with some relatively recent tunes by Cybered, Robert Elster (ex-Vibrasphere), Extrawelt, Solid Snake (ex-Tegma), etc., but also dabbles in Zenonesque murkiness and some of that slick Techgnosis vibe. Oh, and you'll hear a soft tune from Benji (Prometheus) near the beginning, so there's definitely a psy connection here... Now available on my site here: https://djbasilisk.com/mixes/silicon-overmind-2/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Basilisk Posted August 10, 2021 Author Share Posted August 10, 2021 Here's the second of three expected to land this month... three hours of simmering psychedelic techno with the usual cross-genre tomfoolery: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Basilisk Posted August 15, 2021 Author Share Posted August 15, 2021 OK, here's the last of the three new mixes launching this month; this one delves into deep house and dub techno territory without any overt psytrance influences whatsoever, but if you're in the mood for something smoothy and dreamy, you'll find it rewards attentive listening.

Basilisk Posted September 17, 2021 Author Share Posted September 17, 2021 All three of the previous mixes I posted this summer are now available on my site (as well as my own streaming channels); note that some guest mixes have been renamed: https://djbasilisk.com/mixes/evaporate-32/ https://djbasilisk.com/mixes/silicon-overmind-1/ https://djbasilisk.com/mixes/silicon-overmind-2/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Basilisk Posted September 20, 2021 Author Share Posted September 20, 2021 I have a new one that might be of some interest to old school Goa trance fans... but it's not Goa trance as we know it today! My idea was to rewind the tape to 1989 and play it forward... but step into another timeline.
