Here it is... Psilicon Dreams 12, my monthly mix of psychedelic downtempo electronica for DI.FM's Psychill channel, for November 2010. This mix marks the beginning of year 2 for Psilicon Dreams. Crazy... I'd have thought that I would have run out of great music to put in these monthly mixes by now, but I keep being amazed by how much awesome stuff is out there. I'll keep mixing them as long as it keeps being easy to find the good stuff. When that becomes work, though, that's when I pull the plug. This month's mix was inspired by a growing pile of glitchy/scratchy/squishy tunes that just don't quite fit within the standard psychill cannon, so I decided to explore the outer edges of the genre, and give these tunes their proper moment of glory.
