I find this great truth in each experiment I doing
I find this great truth in each human being functioning
I find this great truth in each element, each point and joint
In the vast space in each star, planet, moon and object;

All the things and the beings are set at a certain motion
In each galaxy, sphere they are continuously moving, acting,
Reacting, ending, origining and thus the courses completing
Each task in each moment by the orders He is commanding.

Hilltop Studio series  Darris Hopper  Back home after Norway

"An absolute piece of craftsmanship. It demands full attention, packed with intricate details and brilliant electronic experimentation. A long and fully developed journey. A delight from start to finish. We wish you lucid dreams."

Set recorded in Espacio Perpendicular (@espacio-perpendicular), during Lucid Dreams on October 4th.

Samuel van Dijk is a Dutch electronic music producer and DJ who explores contrasts in his music, blending genres like electro, techno, dub, and ambient. Under his aliases - VC-118A, Mohlao (@mohlao), and Multicast Dynamics (@multicastdynamics) -he creates immersive soundscapes that move from outer space to oceanic depths. His modular approach to live performances allows him to shift from energetic breakbeats to abstract, textured soundscapes. With releases on respected labels such as Delsin and Frustrated Funk, van Dijk's work is known for its melancholic moods and deeply absorbing grooves, whether in clubs or experimental settings. His sets range from gritty techno and futuristic electro to atmospheric ambient, always delivering emotionally rich experiences.

..A lucid dream is a dream in which a person becomes aware that he or she is dreaming and it becomes quite different from an ordinary dream.  For one thing It can be strikingly realistic to the point of producing a convincing replica of the normal physical world and for another it has its own psychological characteristics and range of emotional reactions which have to be considered independently of these experienced in normal dreaming..."

In the late 1960s, psychologists Celia Green and Charles McCreery published Lucid Dreams, a study exploring the paradox of consciousness during sleep, describing the possibility of conscious perception in dreams, often involving out-of-body experiences and hallucinations. Later, in the mid-90s, the UK ambient label EM:T released a minimalist ambient masterpiece titled Lucid Dreams, featuring texts and narration by Celia Green. Thanks to Astral Industries, this forgotten gem was reissued on vinyl a few years ago, in a deluxe edition with illustrations by the renowned Theo Ellsworth.

Several lucid dream sessions have been held by candlelight, featuring guests such as Ario, Camu, Coeval, Doozer, F-on, JL Maire, Urtzi, Patrick Russell, Vicki Siolos, SUNA, and most recently, Multicast Dynamics.

"This mix is ​​made up of various melodic drone sounds. 
They are tracks that I feel really beautiful. Listening to the drone feels like my heart and mind are being cleansed. What I was most conscious of in this mix was to mix the drones in various keys so that they would naturally connect and become a big story. I sprinkled in elements that episode the feeling of nature. And I used an unreleased track of mine in the middle of the mix.

I made a slightly longer journey than usual as a special mix for Inveins podcast. 

I hope you enjoy it."

So happy to welcome Brooklyn based @huedj from the iconic @itsdelayed to one of the final features of the Mirror Tapes mix series!

'Thank you, Adam, for the opportunity to do a guest mix. I feel fortunate to contribute to your wonderful platform and be a part of its final chapters. I’ve recently been digging into halftime and came across some fun and interesting tunes and wanted to make a mix that flows through various moods and flavors to brighten any day while listening to it. Selection-wise, nothing was off the table. This is a studio mix rather than a DJ set, but I ended up DJing the entirety. I hope you enjoy it as much as I did making it.'

all snug and warm for the onset of winter. 

“Recorded in the later hours of an autumn evening, surrounded by candlelight and burning incense, I wanted the track selection to reflect the slower, introspective pace of the changing seasons. 

By blending the elements of ambient, dub and downtempo, my intentions were to create a woven soundscape that invites the listener to journey inward, evoking a sense of transcendence, whilst being deeply rooted in the presence of now.”

Glisten ☉ Ouroboros Festival 2024

The Circle Stage awakened on Saturday morning as Glisten opened the Circle Stage, weaving a tapestry of sound that felt both otherworldly and deeply intimate. A fusion of lush, ambient melodies and intricate, trippy drum rhythms—felt like an invocation of a day dream-state. It was as if we had been transported by a blue lotus flower to a space where time slowed, and the air shimmered with a surreal beautiful vibration. Chimeric, organic forms seemed to sprout from the music itself, growing, twisting, and blooming in rhythm, expanding not just our imagination but our hearts, through the creation of a unspoken connexion between space and people.

Thank you Sofia for opening to us this way.
