Ybyzär 19 [Classic French Techtrance / Full-On / Progressive Psytrance]

Basilisk pays tribute to the early millennial sound of French psytrance, techtrance, and progressive on Ybyzär 19 (@ybyzar), a guest mix commissioned by @me_diafan and broadcast on the Nantes-based @radiody10 in June 2022. This concept mix focuses on the “French touch” of psytrance, with representation by many of the major figures in the scene from 1998 to 2005. The journey begins with Gothic-industrial soundscapes, digs deep into cacophonous techtrance and pumping progressive rhythms, gathers steam with twilight full-on beats, eventually emerging into the morning light with timeless trance melodies and blissful orchestral strings. All tracks featured here were released from 1998 to 2005. Six tracks included in this mix were edited for quicker transitions, easier layering, or to fix errors in the original recordings. The resulting mix neatly fits onto an 80 minute CD, which was generally the objective back in the early 2000s., when I was releasing mixes like Heliocentric, Nocturnal Wanderlust, Mystic Revelation, etc. The attached photos is yours truly in the second room at Funhuas in Toronto circa 2007, around when I was actually playing some of these tunes 🙃 Mixed in Traktor with a Korg Nanokontrol. Edited and mastered with Audacity, Ableton Live, TDR Nova, and Loudmax.
