Cytherean Expanse is the fifth entry in DJ Basilisk’s Expanse Cycle, an ambitious series of long-form mixes dedicated to sonic world-building and cross-genre experimentation. Four hours and 70 meticulously curated selections await, opening with a hypnotic blend of ambient, downtempo, IDM, electro, and breaks before widening horizons with cosmic disco, acid house, progressive trance, and dub techno, always with a psychedelic touch. There is an earthy and organic aesthetic to many of these selections, wispy echoes of the starlit dance floors and resplendent chill domes of some counter-clock world orbiting on the far side of the sun. Expect to hear genres blended, melodies harmonized, and beats matched as extended, layered mixing transforms diverse source material into a seamless oneness.
