"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.

choose stillness instead of social media drama.  dont wave your stupid flags on behalf of people youve never met - .. create something. be yourself. it is enough.

Comenzó su andadura a finales del 1999. Entonces bajo el aka de
darkoina XLR, el estilo que mas predominaba en sus sesiones era el
techno, del que todavía sigue comprando música. Productores como
Mills, Regis, Surgeon, Ruskin, 65 d Mavericks, Wunsch.. sin olvidar
sonidos mas Detroit propios de artistas de la talla de Mills, Steve
Rachmad, Aril Brikha, Robert Hood, Mike Huckaby entre otros.
Posteriormente el dub techno fue tomando peso en su maleta de discos..
Basic Channel, Echospace, Fluxion, Quantec .. ritmos más pausados
pero que sin duda considera imprescindibles en el universo de la
electronica.
Como buen amante de las BSO., también es un enamorado del sonido
Ambient (necesario para su paz interior)
Desde siempre también le ha llamado la atención la electrónica algo
"mas compleja" donde Autechre, AFX, BoC, Mika Vainio, Monolake, Alva
Noto (por citar algunos gigantes), han pasado también a formar parte
de su colección.
Es en 2015, con el psedonimo de Mood XLR cuando opta por dar un giro y
centrarse en el ELECTRO, sin olvidar los antes citados.
En la actualidad, junto con Zenobit3 desarrollan Electroscope. Eventos
puntuales en Madrid (Siroco) claramente enfocados al electro, contando
con artistas de siempre (Electroscope 01 con Kan3da) pero también con
la nueva generación que viene pisando muy fuerte!
