DREAM FREQUENCY Special '30' LP via Kickstarter



You make me feel...so real...so real...so real!

Dream Frequency. A project, a band, that has filled the dancefloor with the right energy playing out this classic 1992 anthem and even lots of others such as 'Take Me' or 'Good Times', the eminent collabs with the established vocalist Debbie Sharp, or touring in US and Australia with The Prodigy, plus witness the biggest Japanese rave back in the day playing in front of 55,000 nuttah ravers as well as participating on big brands & festivals such as Street Rave Bowlers, Hanger 13, The Metro, The Fubar, Circus Circus, Amnesia, Galactica, Fantazia and Rezerection, Kelly’s...

Above board, there are so much praise and credits to give on the Dream Frequency work over the last years within the scene. Words that 
wouldn't fit into a certain blog about the man like Ian Bland, the main brain behind Dream Frequency. Something bigger than a project, which celebrates 30 years of life this year! Incredible isn't it?

Wanna get more satisfaction from the North of UK then?


And we can now inform you that the genious Ian Bland has recently set up a Kickstarter crowdfunding in order to celebrate DF 30s with a special and ideal release, as huge as it can get. A collector's item for anyone who's been fan of this groundbreaking act, a piece of the Rave history of the past and present. And his plan is to come out on limited CD, limited Vinyl with unlimited love; all in order to pay homage to the Dream Frequency marvellous history!
Check above his official words & statement about his forthcoming 'celebration'.


Ian Bland:

"I'm lucky to have worked with some amazing performers on this album, from the powerful vocal range of Sherie Hartill, the spine-tingling vocals of Tameka Jackson and a lady who needs no introduction, the first lady of DF, the legend Debbie Sharp. These ladies are a force to be reckoned with and I hold nothing but respect for them for producing some goosebump moments on the tracks. Plus a special guest appearance from Skilf as he lays down his own unique lyrical flow on the track Roller coasting, Add to all that, the super talented vocalist and artist Luke Neptune smashes it out of the park on Keeps on playin!

As an extra bonus, there will be remixes from four of my good friends, a legend of the rave scene Rob Tissera with his infectious energy takes it to the next level with his remix of Take Me. Feel So Real is launched into 2020 by one of THE original oldskoolers and top 100 Beatport artist K69. One of Beatherders finest Dave Heaton and all-round good egg brings it home with his driving tech dub of one of our classics and I'm excited to team up with Mr Rejueve himself Si Frater as we smash the massive club anthem "Rejuvenation" often sung by the packed crowds at Beaverworks Mills,

We also have a world exclusive - for the first time in our 30 year history Ultrasonic and Dream Frequency have joined forces with their first-ever track. A force to be reckoned with!!!! Hardcore meets hands in the air vocal piano. Here we, here we, here we F*k*ng go!!!!

There are 20 new tracks in total, ranging from screaming rave anthems, uplifting vocal vibes and a few surprises too!

MAKE SOME NOISE FOR YOURSELVES!

From full-on rave anthems, crazy costumes and energetic stage show, DF have always "brought the noise" and I would love to do the same with this album.
I have put my heart and soul into every track, I'm SO proud, it's a definite NO FILLERS, ONLY KILLERS !! kind of album.

Dream Frequency "30" will be meticulously produced by myself using the latest mastering and production techniques from my own studio and 30 years in the game as an artist and producer.
You are only 30 once! so to make sure all the packages are all five stars, please be assured I have carefully sourced all our suppliers and designers for the quality of the work they produce. (We aim to have delivery of the packages late September/early Oct as it takes 6 weeks for the vinyl to be manufactured, but we will keep everyone in the loop with regular communications as to where we are in the manufacturing process)"

Also, here's a recent statement from him about 'EVOLVE'  ...

"EVOLVE
15 years ago I had the idea to write a concept album, consisting of music in different styles and tempos all mixing together to take the listener on a journey.
I finished it and there it sat on a hard drive. I listened to it last year and decided to take the idea and start again. The production of the original was a long way off of what I can achieve now, but the concept still excited me. I have passion for so many styles of music and I feel this is a way to express myself with no restrictions to the sound.

I am really excited about sharing the Album with you.
Here's the details for the release of Evolve.

Friday the 19th June, the top tier subscribers will get the chance to preview the album in full then join me to chat about the album live on Discord.

Friday 26th June. Release.
Time to get your groove on."

Off to Spain now and specifically to the southwest part and the city of Huelva, where a 10-year-old label has just previewed their new offering.

13Monkeys Records have picked four fresh tracks screaming out that Spain is here and Oldskool never died on their second vinyl offering so far. And beware that this one's strictly vinylized and no digital availability. In other words... Oldskool.

The record opens with the eminent Breakbeat producer, Adam Vyt who gives away big pianos and rave stabs on 'This Way'. A tune which was previewed 3 months ago on Soundcloud and finally sees the light of a release. A2 is taken from Raving Overdose Productions, who keep on the incredible piano bizniz remaining to the year 1992. A classic piano breaks hardcoreholic vibe that will attract your senses.
On the flipside, Sekret Chadow delivers his UK-Garage/2step style entitled 'Weekend'. This is the track that differs a lot with the other features of this EP.
Last but not least, Mr. Fl0g spits his oldskool acid breaks strike closing this impeccable new record.

'Unity Is Strength' is not just a release. It's a message of PLUR vibes. A message of unity during the hard times we living and only the good music vibes can kill any negativity surrounding us at the moment. The Spanish crew is ever respectful and has the key to unlock what's proper for a Hardcore boost. You may Pre-Order the 12" Vinyl EP now.

A - Only Some More
B - Like This


You wouldn't be negative on a new label entry, especially if it's specified on the '92 Hardcore sound. Aren't you?

This debut EP will whet your appetite for the future that will be even brighter for this label. The first volume consists of two tracks that will surely lift you up to the sky if need be. Strictly on Vinyl, cut & mastered by Finyl Tweak, the Volume 1 of Tuff Tunes has just landed to kick in the nads by all means.
Kicking off with the 'Only Some More' the first track going under 140 bpm, with the sound of early 90s, mad oldskool scratches; can be described as a modern hardcore breaks tune, one of those gems of these days.
On the flipside, the chaotic 'Like This', tuffer than tuff by 170 bpm!!
A track that has almost everything and speaks on its own. By far, one of the best tracks of the year. A vivid incarnation of '92 Hardcore Breakbeat sound. A conclusion how UK rejuvenates the underground spirit, remaining strong one way or another.
Nuff said.
Don't sit on this one out. A compulsory plate of Hardcore biziniz.
