Basilisk [Ektoplazm]
(DJs / Profiles: Toronto) Updated: March 16th, 2008 :: 12,108 views
Welcome to my site! I have been deeply engaged in the psychedelic trance counterculture for more than a decade now. In that time I have adopted many different roles to express my enduring interest in a variety of ways: DJing, writing reviews and articles, blogging, promoting (and sometimes even organizing) local events, sharing and promoting free music, and other such activities. My overall mission is to apply my abilities to the advancement of the psychedelic trance movement in whatever way seems worthwhile.
DJ Bio
I spin an eclectic variety of styles coving all points of the psychedelic trance spectrum. Although most of my mixes tend to focus on the deeper sound of progressive psytrance, my sets vary from blistering psycore, darkpsy, and the more sophisticated side of full-on, all the way down to cold and mechanical techtrance, deep and funky progressive house, morning trance, psychedelic chill-out, and much more. I also have an enduring appreciation for the old school sound of mid-nineties Goa trance, which I will play out when the time is right (usually by special request).

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?!?!
