If episode 19 of Psilicon Dreams, my monthly mix series for Digitally Imported Radio, has a theme, then that theme is Psy n’ Bass. It features a fine collection of tunes that combine the right kinds of interesting fiddly bits with a healthy amount of bass. Not all of the tracks exactly fit this description, but most do. The rest are there for contrast and dynamics, but all are presented for your supreme enjoyment.

Here’s episode 17 of Psilicon Dreams, my monthly mix series for Digitally Imported Radio. I’m super happy with how this one turned out, and it’s been on heavy rotation since I recorded it earlier in the month. It features some sick bass n’ ooze beats and rock-solid downtempo grooves, with a thick coating of dubbed-out fx by yours truly. This is not your typical psychill mix, but then again, typical is not what I’m going for. There were 3 new compilations that formed the central inspiration for #17: Painting Pictures On Silence V1, Elysium, and Psycho Navigator. If you dig the set, I can’t recommend picking up these comps enough.

Presenting episode 16 of my Psilicon Dreams mix series for Digitally Imported Radio. This mix dives right into the heart of the psychill/psybient genre and highlights some of the melodic stormers that have recently caught my ear. There’s even a touch of sloa goa to keep the energy up without taking it too far.

Presenting episode 15 of my Psilicon Dreams mix series for Digitally Imported Radio. The first half of the set is some super chill, meditative ambient that I’ve been setting aside for inclusion in a mix for a while now. I could (and should at some point) easily mix an entire set of nearly beatless ambient, but since that is not the true format of the Psychill station which Psilicon Dreams is created for, I pick up the pace and feature a slew of awesome new tracks by newcomer Subaqueous, Ott, Phutureprimitive, and Digital Drop (Isreal). As usual, this episode bounces all around the psychill genre, hopefully showing off the wonderful level of variety in styles that all contribute to this re-blossoming class of music.

For this month’s Psilicon Dreams episode, I again explored the fringed edges of the psychill genre. With two cups of bounce, 4 oz. of squigglies, one-and-a-half wobbles (minced), a dash of sub-oontz, and a sprinkle of psydrops (to taste), Psilicon Dreams 14 is a set of grade-A, peak-hour downtempo, meant to get those heads a bobbin’.

Standard Podcast

For January 2011′s episode of Psilicon Dreams, my monthly mix for Digitally Imported’s Psychill channel, I decided to honor one of my favorite record lables, Ultimae Records, by crafting a set entirely of music from their vast catalog of powerful and well-crafted electronica. Nearly every episode of Psilicon Dreams has contained a track or two from Ultimae, and after a recent purchase of several of their newer releases, it was an easy choice to just go all in this round. This mix is but a wee sampling of their expansive catalog, so I can’t encourage you enough to do some exploring of your own. You seriously can’t go wrong with anything with their name on it.

And of course, what would a tribute to Ultimae be without a cover in their iconic style. It looks like they’ve changed it up for their most recent releases, but that heavy black letterbox look with abstract photography made for an instantly recognizable CD.

On Saturday, December 18, 2010 Digitally Imported’s Psychill channel celebrated Winter Solstice with an all-day event including DJ sets by Morlack, ROX, DJ Shroom, Majah, AuroraX, Mixtress Bloodwing, and me. It was quite a journey of wintery vibes and a pleasure to make a contribution to.

Available here for download is my Winter Solstice set. It begins deep in a sublime soundscape, including the premier of a new ambient track from me (Leave Trace), and moves its way into a perfect solstice inspired psychill groove.
