Aiwaska, Thomas Gandey - Lucid Dreams

Get Physical welcomes back two seasoned innovators with the release of ‘Lucid Dreams’, a track that channels the timeless spirit of house while pointing firmly toward the future. Anchored by classic Detroit- inspired stabs and reduced piano chords, the groove is both hypnotic and understated. Spoken-word vocal samples weave through the mix, giving the track a nocturnal, reflective quality that feels tailor-made for those early club hours when atmosphere takes precedence over everything else.

For Aiwaska, this marks his second outing on Get Physical after his acclaimed ‘303 Mystery’ EP in 2024. A mysterious yet prolific producer with over three decades of experience, Aiwaska has crafted a signature style that fuses organic textures, ethnic instrumentation, and deep basslines into forward-thinking house productions. His music is not only rooted in the club but also tied to larger artistic and ecological visions, from Grammy voting campaigns with Roland Clark to wildlife protection initiatives spotlighted in Times Square. With releases on Crosstown Rebels, Exploited, Bar 25, and collaborations alongside icons like Robert Owens and Jaw, Aiwaska has earned the respect of peers across the globe.

Joining him is the endlessly versatile Thomas Gandey. Known for his work under aliases such as Cagedbaby and Tribe of Good, Gandey’s cult status has been cemented through decades of releases on influential imprints like Innervisions, Kompakt, and Planet E. Both a studio wizard and a sought-after vocalist, he has lent his unmistakable voice to tracks for Hot Since 82, Blond:ish, and Pleasurekraft, while crafting over 200 remixes across his career. Whether behind the decks or on the microphone, Gandey’s passion for synths and boundary-pushing production has kept him at the forefront of electronic music.

With ‘Lucid Dreams’, Aiwaska and Gandey have created a work that respects house music’s foundations while embracing a modern, cinematic energy. It’s a track equally at home in intimate late-night settings or expansive festival soundscapes, bridging eras and aesthetics in a way that speaks directly to the heart of Get Physical’s ethos.
