Basilisk
DJ Profile | Drumlore / Ektoplazm | Canada | January 21, 2012 | Posted by Basilisk
Basilisk is the founder of the Ektoplazm netlabel group and free music portal, one of the world’s top online destinations for psychedelic trance, techno, and downtempo. With more than a decade of experience behind the decks Basilisk is also an accomplished DJ and a rising star on the global stage. Much of his success can be attributed to his tireless work ethic and productive drive; aside from DJing, Basilisk also manages three record labels (the eponymous Ektoplazm as well as Drumlore and Omnitropic), compiles various artist releases (notably Spectral Circuitry, Dreamshadow, Organic Circuitry), develops and maintains the Ektoplazm web site, designs cover art for numerous releases, and champions the cause of Creative Commons licenses and new music distribution strategies for the 21st century.
DJ Bio
Basilisk spins an eclectic 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. With a history stretching back more than a decade, Basilisk is proficient 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 an expert use of effects. A true believer in the classic technoshamanistic concept of “the set as a journey,” Basilisk prefers to mix up the many styles of psytrance rather than stick to one formula. Depending on the time slot and nature of the event Basilisk is also known for breaking into blistering hard darkpsy, forest music, the more sophisticated side of full-on, the cold and mechanical sound of techtrance, and the pumping energy of progressive. Old school mid-nineties Goa trance and classic psytrance sets are also available on special request.
Basilisk’s alter-ego Synaptic FX is dedicated to the emerging fusion of minimal techno, progressive house, and psytrance, a deep and dirty blend of cutting edge electronic music elements and archetypes that will thrill any audience. Visit Drumlore to find out more about this project.
Over the years DJ Basilisk has performed hundreds of times with major gigs at festivals such as Harvest (2005/2006/2009/2010/2011), Shambhala (2010), Eclipse (2009), Open Mind (2011), Entheos (2007/2008/2009/2010), Om (2002/2004/2011), Sacred Earth (2009), All Stars (2009/2011), Teknival (2004?), and WEMF (2003).

I want to express my appreciation for the amount of positive energy I have received from your site. Thanks to it I have been introduced to a lot of good music. Good and different music. I was glad to find out that (not surprisingly) there is so much different psytrance out there.
I can only hope that psy underground continues to grow here in Canada and positive waves of change will be emitted to and from around the world.
Basilisk’s solid mixing counterbalances his superb taste in music that’s backed by a wicked arsenal of diverse sounds – which makes him one of the best local DJ’s this side of the sun… not to mension beautiful creativity that gets expressed by colourful album covers and THIS EPIC SITE!!
If you’re not on the Basilisk-Ban-Wagon yet, i must ask, WHY THE BLEEP NOT?!?!
I want to express my appreciation for your work here,
your reviews are insightfull and you inspire many by
allowing so many to express through music.
Thank you, Catalin.

Yooowww Basilisk
@ first, all my complements for everything you created. Really nice!!!
As starting DJ it helped me a lot 2 pick my style and get in touch with a lt of music.
I’m from Amsterdam (smokin a joint legal while typing this message ;p) and organizing sub-cultural events
and trow DnB and Psychedelic party’s here.
My first festival is this summer sponsered by Anmesty Interational, because I think the people from sub-cultures
care more about human rights, then commercials organisations.
If you ever gonna visit the Netherlands, plz let me know!
My Tnx!
WoooFFF WOOwOWOOFFF!!!!

Hi, I was wondering if it was possible to customise the site so that users were able to select more post results to be displayed on a single instead of the default of only 5 per page. I understand that you can’t set it too high but maybe a logical number would be good? Thanks for offering us the site, it’s great!
having real problems trying to download your own mixes. Keeps on putting me on to QuickTime where i cant downlod it. Help!!!!! Cheers
Hey, i just love what you guys are doing. i have been into psytrance for the past 12 years or so and only recently started djing. You guys make it very easy to get tracks that would other wise be imposible for me to afford. Thanks for all your hard work. I put on a very small dj show in my home town free for all ages and without ektoplazm it wouldn’t be the same. Thanks again
EKTOPLAZM !!!!!!! THE BEST PSYGOODVIBES SITE ENTIRE WORLD !!!!!
thanks for every song every compil evry little sand’s grain building positive vibration to every part of each psyperson héhéhé
and as my friend Vadatok, you always must eat the power of psycopioche with abuse !!!!
kisses to all guys workin’ and doin’ Ektoplazm, a free music site not like all the shit you hear on other media, and unfortunately that is ubiquitous!
Basilisk==>> darkrave vs panic ==>> OHH YEAAAHHH
