DJ Basilisk - Silicon Overmind 1

dj-basilisk-silicon-overmind-1

DJ Basilisk’s Silicon Overmind 1 is the first in a new series of mixes exploring the many permutations of psychedelic techno and adjacent styles of underground electronic music. This epic 3-hour journey slowly rises from the dark depths to cycle through a wide variety of hypnotic and futuristic sounds, all revolving around several selections from Techgnosis Records, the label he co-founded alongside Ben Rama in 2015. Expect to hear rumbling bass, cybernetic beats, spellbinding melodies, cinematic atmospheres, and intricate rhythmic programming as the story unfolds. DJ Basilisk’s signature smooth and harmonic mixing is also evident, and his skillful use of three decks allows for intriguing reconfigurations of source material. Strap yourself in and prepare for a wild ride through the misty borderlands of techno, psytrance, progressive house, and IDM!

Notes

  • Conceived, designed, mixed, and mastered by DJ Basilisk in Taipei, Taiwan, May 2021.
  • Recorded over several sessions using Traktor 3, a Korg Nanokontrol 1, and an Allen & Heath Xone:K2.
  • Mastered in Ableton Live using TDR Nova and LoudMax; wave surgery conducted with Audacity.
  • This mix originally premiered as Taiwan Techno Podcast 224 on the Mixcloud channel for Taiwan Techno Podcast; the release was also accompanied by a Chinese language interview on Facebook.
  • Some of the more elaborate three deck mixing complicated my efforts to properly timestamp this mix, several of which are only approximations.
