DJ Basilisk - Silicon Overmind 4

dj-basilisk-silicon-overmind-4

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.

  • Aleckat’s track references Roko’s Basilisk (no relation).
  • Hynamo’s Artemis was unreleased at the original time of publication.
