"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.

temple chapter 6 took place on 16·11·2024

a musical refuge from an exhausting world

@forlate words:

“I wanted to experiment with different sounds and explore everything Temple’s fantastic sound system has to offer. There’s a deep love for music and sound here — in all its forms — that shows in the care and attention the organizers put into every detail. This creates a space where listeners are open and receptive to adventurous artists who strive (and succeed) to share moments of unity, chaos, and peace. 

For this set, I wanted it to be nuanced but not detached. It’s an emotional journey, but a subtle one — like the best poetry, it hides its meaning in oblique references and unexpected twists, yet the emotion is always there. Then the enveloping drone comes, unraveling everything that preceded it, until it all bursts open at once.”

We are honoured to share a deeply personal and beautiful ambient mix by Blind Observatory for Unrush. True to his signature style, this mix unfolds like an acoustic panorama - layered with cinematic textures, immersive sounds, and delicate facets of emotion. Each track flows effortlessly, as if hiking through a natural biotope of sound, moving between different atmospheres with a calm ease. This mix is dedicated to his beloved dog, Plüshka, who recently passed away:

"I compiled and recorded this set during the last weeks I had with my wonderful dog Plüshka. My true soulmate. It is a story of two tethered souls slowly untangling. About a connection getting grainy, then fuzzy and blurry before fading. A journal of our parting. It's a little tribute to my big love."

This heartfelt journey is an ode to love, loss, and the unbreakable bond between kindred spirits. We hope you enjoy the set and have a relaxed start to the week...

"The maestro takes his seat, glasses on, guiding the light across the hidden corners of his frequency library. Perfectly woven layers drift and evolve — minimal, restrained, dark in tone, brilliant in execution. In the cabin, every mind floats, someone slips in a field recording, blurring the edges between inside and out. The light gently rises, and as everything fades, the birds come knocking at the door."
