DJ Basilisk - Moonshadow (Classic Psytrance 1997/1998/1999)

Moonshadow is a classic psytrance mix originally composed for the Global Goa Party, a virtual event conceived to �create the soundtrack for a full night (and morning) of old-school Goa trance by ten DJs from all over the world.� The rules were simple: record a mix with music that would have been heard on the dance floor in 1999. I snapped up the 12:30 to 2:00am time slot and spent weeks scouring my collection for the right stuff to hasten the journey into darkness and lunacy. Naturally, this exercise aroused great nostalgia for my own initiation into psytrance culture sometime in 1997 or 1998. Since many of my earliest memories of partying in Toronto were formed at events thrown by the Moonshadow collective I decided to dedicate this mix to DJ Dam, Cyber G, Yohimbe, John Dee, and everyone else who was there in the beginning. Recorded at Ilum Studios, B.C.

The full track listing will be posted in one week!

I listened to the first 20 minutes before I left work, and it rules. Technical, industrial, trippy, banging. Excellent shit, I can't wait to finish it.

This set is a bit of a mixed bag for me personally. Psy trance after Radio was released took a LONG time before it managed to dig itself out of its tuneless and monotonous hole. This set, being from the post-Radio period, naturally suffers somewhat from that, especially in the middle. I also don't like neither GMS nor Infected Mushroom, regardless of what time period we're talking about.

On the other hand, this is superbly mixed. Transitions are barely noticable, and the set as a whole slowly but surely climbs its way to a peak at the end. There's a couple of tunes in here I definitely need to track down now, and I was always wondering how come nobody ever embraced Bill Hicks and his love for hallucinogens in this genre. Good to see that they actually did.
