Ektoplazm is the world’s #1 source for free and legal psychedelic trance downloads. Founded in 2001 by DJ Basilisk, Ektoplazm has become as a highly successful web site and netlabel. Initially chartered to spread awareness of psytrance culture throughout Canada and the United States, Ektoplazm now has a global presence with fans distributed all around the world.

DJ Basilisk established the Ektoplazm netlabel in 2008 to promote homegrown Canadian talent and unconventional international acts. Every Ektoplazm release is available for free download in MP3, FLAC, and WAV format—and we also offer “on demand” CD versions for anyone who wishes to purchase traditional physical media. This unique approach maximizes the promotional reach of our releases and liberates our listeners from industry-standard guilt trips about music piracy. The producers benefit as well; their creative freedoms are ensured since we do not operate within the confines of the commercial distribution system and its increasingly marginal economics. Ektoplazm is not about defining a specific sound; we are much more interested in showcasing the range and diversity of psychedelic trance and techno producers. We are committed to the exploration of free digital distribution and the unmapped possibilities of future technological developments. It is our hope that this effort will help to advance psychedelic trance culture and revolutionize the way music is made and distributed.
