Dreamscape 2 Playlist:
Ellis Dee, real name Roy Collins, is a DJ/producer from Hackney, London.
From outdoor raves to basement dives, Ellis Dee has been doing the business for well over 25 years now, yet he's still searching out fresh music and is just as committed to injecting passion and energy into the dancefloor.
He began DJing in 1980 playing on the REMA sound system. It was back in the early days of warehouse parties that he really made his name, co-promoting the Rave at the Cave with Chalk.E White. Also used to host a show on Sunrise FM. Ellis Dee became a regular at Equinox Milwaukees, and a headliner at events like ESP Dreamscape, Perception World Dance and Fantazia. As well as DJing, he also began to make his own music as part of Rhythm Section with Rennie Pilgrem.
From acid house to hardcore to drum & bass and most recently breakbeat, Ellis Dee has always managed to stamp his own style on whatever he turns his hand to. Ellis Dee records on his own label, Point Break, with co-owner Syrus. TCR, as well as recording on various d&b projects with long time DJ partner Swan-E.

Live Events Playlist:
Dreamscape was a legendary rave throughout the 1990s, first held 6 December 1991 at what would become known as the Sanctuary Music Arena. Originally founded and run by Murray Beetson (RIP) of ESP PROMOTIONS until his untimely death on 16th March 1996 as a result of a car accident. Beetson had been running nights at Milwaukees, Bedfordshire (Fun House Promotions) but sought a larger venue when the warehouse on Denbigh Leisure Park, Saxon Street, Milton Keynes came available.
After his death, management of Dreamscape would then pass to Steve Foster who had also been involved in its running with Beetson. The promoters Slammin' Vinyl were also briefly involved in managing events/merchandise. In its latter years, Jim Tang owned the ESP/Dreamscape name. A 20th Anniversary night was held in 2011 at the Roadmender, Northampton, with a reunion rave planned in 2014, but this fell through.
