Here’s the May 2010 installment of Psilicon Dreams, my monthly mix of psychedelic downtempo electronica for DI.FM’s Psychill channel. This mix spends the first half in a deep, mellow vibe, then moves into a dubbed-out groove, and finishes with the lovely heights of Kuba’s “Cruze Control”.

Here’s the April 2010 installment of Psilicon Dreams, my monthly mix of psychedelic downtempo electronica for DI.FM’s Psychill channel. For this mix, I spelunked the bassier depths of psychill and finished it off with a couple lovely beatless tracks to help send you off peacefully in to dreamland.

Here’s the March 2010 installment of Psilicon Dreams, my monthly mix of psychedelic downtempo electronica for DI.FM’s Psychill channel. For this mix, I crossed all sorts of genre borders and included psybient, IDM, dubstep, downtempo, psydub, glitch, and a dash of ambient and sloa goa. I’m rather fond of this mix as it feels cohesive, yet covers so much psychill ground.

What do you think? Leave a comment with your thoughts on this amount of genre blending in one set.

Check out this fantastic coupling of psychedelic, glitchy, chillout tunes from Sun In Aquarius. It’s a free download, so you best do yourself a favor and add these gems to your bloated music collection. You can be sure that I’ll be using both tracks in future DJ sets. More music and info about Sun In Aquarius can be found at his Myspace page.

Sun In Aquarius is a Experimental Electronic project from up and coming sound designer Jake Rose (23). Thick sonic soundscapes and liquidy glitches interweave with the psychedelic, cryptic lyrics of jim morrison and the doors in this FREE release.
Special thanks to Travis Universe for his magical guitars on Riders on the storm!.

Here’s the February 2010 installment of Psilicon Dreams, my monthly mix of psychedelic downtempo electronica for DI.FM’s Psychill channel. For this mix, I dove into my much neglected vinyl collection and pulled out some of my favorite chillout tracks from the mid-to-late ’90s. Much of what we now hear coming out of the psychill scene was directly influenced from these records. And to top it off, I whipped up a little Mark Neal inspired retrodelic cover art. Tune in every second Saturday at 9am US PST/12pm US EST/5pm UK/18:00 Central Europe to catch the newest episode. Chillout like it’s 1999 and enjoy!

This mix has been available at the Chillography site for a while, but I’m also posting it here in an effort to consolidate all of my mixes in one place. One sunny summer afternoon, at a lovely Seattle waterfront park, this mix was the first of a full day of sun-worshipping chillout sets by some of our favorite Chillography guests. It really was an amazing free event, and I’m already busy formulating our next free park gathering. Photos of said amazingness live here, here, here, and here. Full details on Chillography 201 can be found here.

Here is a recording of the my live Leave Trace set from the Oscillate ambient showcase at Chop Suey on Sept. 9, 2009. It was my first solo live set, playing all original music, and I’m pretty happy with how it turned out. It features some material you may have heard in my Regression Session mix, but there was also a good chunk of newer material in the set. Enjoy!
