Dj Basilisk - Circadian Rhytms


"4 decks, 27 songs, 1½ hours, 120 beats per minute, and 13 years of music history"


Created by Dj Basilisk, founder of the Ektoplazm netlabel group, this mix contains mid-tempo Goa trance blended with a wide variety of related styles from dub techno to progressive house. It presents artists such as Banco de Gaia, Cydonia, Total Eclipse, Man with no Name, Doof and many other pioneers of Goatrance. For us old Goaheads it´s truly a trip down memory-lane (and such a beautiful one); for people who didn´t listen to this particular style of music in the 90´s this is an excellent opportunity to be introduced to this magical style of music. This mix is just pure excellence. Go download it NOW. Or so I will hunt you down and kick your ass ;)

Basilisk has been Djing for over a decade, and apart from that, he also manages three record labels (the eponymous Ektoplazm as well as Drumlore and Omnitropic).  Basilisk spins a variety of styles covering all points of the psychedelic trance spectrum. Every performance is entirely improvised and custom-crafted to fit with the theme of the event and the flow of the night. He is skilled in both vinyl and CD mixing, but now prefers using a laptop and MIDI controller to maximize the creative potential of his sets with harmonic mixing and the use effects. He believes in the classic technoshamanistic concept of “the set as a journey,” and thus prefers to mix up the many styles of psytrance rather than stick to one. Depending on the time slot and nature of the event Basilisk sometimes plays darkpsy, forest music, sometimes full-on, but can also focus a whole set on techtrance or progressive. Old school mid-nineties Goa trance and classic psytrance sets are also available on special request :)
