Dream Frequency remastered back catalogue & unreleased cuts



With Bandcamp Day fast approaching on 2nd of May, rave legend Dream Frequency is blessing fans with a long-awaited treasured request: their entire back catalogue among some previously unreleased material, fully remastered for 2025

UK Dance pioneer Ian Bland, the driving force behind Dream Frequency, has revisited the golden era of 1990-1995, giving fresh life to anthems that defined a generation of ravers. Following a message through his social, Ian Bland stated:

"Hey Guys , been asked for my back catalogue SO many times so I've Remastered all the Dream Frequency Tracks just for you! Totally Digitally Remastered in my studio for 2025. Premium Listening (And Raving !! lol). Thanks for all your support."
 

There is a large variety of iconic records like the chart-toppers 'Feel So Real' and 'Take Me', or the 'Love, Peace and Harmony EP,' featuring vocals by the late Denise Johnson, alongside dancefloor classics like 'Techno Worship' and the rare vinyl-only cut 'Satisfaction'.

One of the biggest surprises comes in the form of the ultra-rare 'One Nation EP,' now reissued with a 2025 update, a remix from Blame, and bonus tracks 'Free My Mind' and 'Just A Rub A Dub' - the latter never saw an official digital release.

And it doesn't stop there.

Among all these beaties, there is a full collection of 16 unreleased live tracks, recorded at legendary venues like Pleasuredome, Amnesia Wedding, Kelly's, Bowlers, The Orbit, Rezerection, and more. Obviously, all tracks have been remastered with the same care.
Worth to name a few of them:

  • 'Angels Intro' (unreleased PA track 1993)
  • 'Angels Song' (unreleased PA track 1993)
  • 'Beat Pound' (unreleased PA track 1992) Hit man and her performance )

  • 'The Creator' (unreleased PA track 1992)
  • 'Unity' (unreleased PA track 1994)
  • 'Your Love is Real' (Unreleased Pa track 1992)


One of the founding members of UK rave energy brings out his luminous productions for an enormous remaster project, appropriate for every oldskool DJ and fan.

With Bandcamp waiving its fees on the upcoming Bandcamp Day on 2nd of May, 100% of every purchase will go directly to the artists making it the perfect moment to show support and celebrate in this case a true legend of the scene. Mark your calendars. May 2 is the..Dream Frequency Day!

Straight Up Breakbeat pres. 'Zero Five EP'

 



Helsinki finest D&B imprint, Straight Up Breakbeat unveil their fifth installment of the 'Zero' series establishing a haven for both pioneering and rising artists. As ever, this new release encapsulates the evolution of the genre and the heavy bass sounds.
Kicking off with 'Chronos' by Turku based producer Hmr. His new tune weaves some raw, hypnotic elements into a mesmerizing composition. Anchored by an irresistible bassline, the breakbeats carry a distinct air of Photek-esque precision, making this a track that rewards both deep listening and club play.
Coming next is Koala, who made waves with an EP on Ruffhouse Industries and a guest slot on Oneman’s Rinse FM show. His tune 'Opps' sets a slow-jungle journey, carrying moody, breakbeat-driven aesthetic pulsing with ominous energy. The fusion of dark atmospheres and shifting tempos makes this track an intriguing addition to the compilation.

Last but not least, the Cologne based producer, Marvel Cinema, continues to solidify his reputation as a force within the deeper, more cinematic realms of the genre. With releases on Over/Shadow, Grid, and Celsius, his craft is already well-documented. His presence on this EP with his track 'My Mind Is A Storm' underscores the Zero-series dedication to championing the finest in cutting-edge drum & bass.

"Zero-Series Vol. 5" is successfully bridging the gap between experimental sound design and forward-thinking production. Whether you're seeking intricate rhythms, weighty basslines, or unexpected sonic twists, the Finnish label has again the right answer with this EP that delivers on all fronts. This release comes out officially on 11th of April 2025.
