"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.
