I haven’t had time for Qygen’s Smiling Corpse mix just yet, but he also made an incredible recent debut on Freeformaniacs with this two-hour voyage into the trippiest of dark psy. The opening to the set is way out there, and had my freeform-conditioned mind desperately searching for some kind of structure. That’s not a criticism, though – it’s great to be thrown out of your comfort zone, and it’s a real journey as the set heads into some very nasty stuff.
I didn’t recognise many tracks on the first listen (maybe only long-time COGI favourite, Something in the Air), but thanks to Qygen himself we now have a tracklist, complete with label info.

His Smiling Corpse: Dead Happy mix isn’t so… Dark. It’s more Psy than Dark Psy! Both mixes are brilliant in their own rights though 🙂
