Dreamstate Records marks ten years at the forefront of global trance culture with ‘10 Years of Dreamstate,’ a landmark 20-track compilation out November 14th. The release unites trance pioneers, modern icons, and next-generation innovators, celebrating a decade of transcendence and evolution across one of the world’s leading trance destinations.
Since its inception, Dreamstate has championed every subgenre of trance—from uplifting and progressive to hard and techno-infused—building a global community centered on emotional and euphoric experiences. The compilation honors this legacy, featuring artists who have shaped Dreamstate’s festivals, concerts, and club events worldwide.
Anchoring the collection is the official Dreamstate SoCal 2025 festival anthem, “Is This Only a Dream?” by Paul van Dyk and Aly & Fila. The track channels cinematic precision with fluttering arpeggios, ethereal atmospherics, and surreal spoken-word narration, embodying the awe of sunrise over a festival crowd and reaffirming the timeless spirit of Dreamstate.
The compilation continues as a journey through trance’s diverse landscape. Nifra and Sarah de Warren reunite on “On Repeat,” blending vocal trance emotion with techno grit, while Ilan Bluestone delivers “The Land of Nanisa” under his Stoneblue alias—a cinematic, 138-BPM odyssey famously tied to his onstage proposal at Dreamstate San Francisco.
Norwegian star Ørjan Nilsen and Dutch powerhouse Mark Sixma showcase their collaborative project nilsix with “Blast From The Past” and a special Intro Mix, offering tension-filled, mainstage-ready intensity. Taylor Torrence ventures into warehouse-style acid trance on “Collide,” while underground stalwarts Mark Sherry and David Forbes bring relentless tech-trance energy with “This Is the Phuture.” Festival-focused emotion shines through Matty Ralph, Laura van Dam, and Q.U.A.K.E, underscoring trance’s hybrid evolution.
Remix contributions highlight the compilation’s depth, with David Forbes amplifying Key4050’s “Cisza” into acid-laced overdrive and Darren Porter reimagining Giuseppe Ottaviani’s “Keep Your Dreams Alive” with sweeping orchestral layers, breathing cinematic life into past anthems. Additional contributions from Paul Oakenfold, Trance Wax, Lost Minds, Factor B, and Jordan Suckley round out the collection, while rising talent Fish56Octagon closes with “Let U Know,” reflecting trance’s next-generation vision.
Across its 20 tracks, ‘10 Years of Dreamstate’ serves as both a retrospective and a revelation—a multidimensional tribute to the artists, fans, and moments that have defined a global trance movement. Balancing heritage and innovation, nostalgia and forward motion, the compilation captures the enduring energy of Dreamstate while pointing toward the future of trance music.
