The Inner Sound 038: Dream Software

For our 38th instalment of ‘The Inner Sound’, we invite Bristol-based multidisciplinary artist + musical platform: @dreamsoftwarecorp.

From the depths of the ethernet, Dream Software presents a utopian vision in every facet of his outputs. From releasing music that sounds far ahead of our time from up-and-coming artists such as Jon Jones, Wigs, Beltrac & a recent reissue of 90s works from Alien Signal, to collating his own vast collection and showcasing it through his many sets, online mixes, and radio guest spots.

Tap in (or out) to this 2-hour and 40-minute time frame of sonic reveries, where you’ll be taken to an oasis of mind-melting and nurturing rhythms, getting lost and far from your physical being, only to return with an expansive breath of new life.

The Inner Sound 038: Dream Software

Flying away from the Typhoon Kong-rey with the last plane from Shanghai, arriving straight to Miki Abe, his inaugural wonderful Picnic People Panic to the DJ booth at Womb Tokyo to take over from the superb Alien Sex Friends.

Here is the live recording.

Ryosuke Tsuchiya, who also served as PA, mastered this mix. He used a unique approach, including IR reverb, to simulate the environment of the day with an immersive feel.
WOMB is a club with a very high ceiling and wooden floor. The subwoofer, with its large horn, gives the kick a rich ambience.

Enjoy!

“In the ashes of my homeland, I planted my hopes like olive trees—knowing they would outlive the fire" — Fadwa Tuqan

Letters to the Sun emerged from a place beyond language. What if we stopped screaming into the void of geopolitical power games, and poured attention towards each other instead? What would it mean to build a space that assumes equal footing - a space where we can simply express, on our terms? For sorrow, for rage, for stillness… for the Sun.

This compilation is an attempt to do just that. A sound sanctuary built from words, sounds, breaths, instruments, and pauses - confronting the chasm of silence forced upon the rubble of Gaza, where each bomb is an affront to our humanity, and each whataboutism a dilution of horror. Here, we create space to feel and to share the within, from within, and for one another.

All proceeds of this album are donated to Revive Gaza’s Farmland, a project by Golo Besmlah and the Arab Group for the Protection of Nature. The initiative works to rehabilitate devastated agricultural land and rebuild local food systems. In a place where over 95% of farmland has been systematically destroyed - and where food is weaponised to subjugate and displace - the act of farming becomes an act of resistance.

A live DJ recording from Don Chich B2B GNMR at For The Cause Festival outside of Melbourne in Poowong, Victoria Australia on 29 March 2025. For The Cause is a loving curated, grass roots and intimate festival from a group and community of wonderful and kind people doing it all for the right reasons. 

The guys played a now-legendary closing set the festival on Saturday night/Sunday morning from 2:30am till 7am and we're lucky enough to have it to share with the world. 

It's an immersive, barnstorming 4 and a half hours of the highest grade records, two selectors going b2b for the first time and by the sounds of this, definitely not the last. 

There are gems a plenty in this mix as you'd expect from Don - head chef of the always-reliable Don's Delicatessen channel on YouTube - and GNMR, an Italian selector who held a residency at the legendary Goa Club in Rome.

OPIUM X PART 2

For home use only’ is an anti-club social, a chance to get to know someone/something. A series of transmissions purely dedicated to exploring the other side.

Welcome back friends, new and old. You are about to tune into another segment of ‘get to know the DJ’ and this week's guest is, the formidable Darcy Justice! A star on the rise, her taste and aesthetic years beyond her, her set at IV19 (IV will be back! I promise) is a personal highlight of mine (which is immortalised as Butter Sessions #83 TIP!!!) her consistent A+ output on Hope Street Radio, and a mess of other mix’s she’s put out are all of a high caliber. When she can serve music fresh to the public again there will be nothing that can stop her. 

The mix! Fuck! It's beautiful! 2 hours of absolute power, shifting from weight to weight and actually mixing tracks (RIP), the ebb of the grounding and flow of the joy is absolutely immaculate. Within the first 4 tracks, you can get a gauge of what’s to come, nostalgic banger’s through fresh eyes mixed in with pulsing beautiful neo-soul. The rhythmic throb throughout works not only as a slingshot,  but it also relieves tension through the comfortability of the all known pace of life and the dance floor we ever so miss. The mix comes perfectly with the shift into nicer weather and hopefully with the chance to see your friends, eat with your friends, dance with your friends. The perfect backyard picnic soundtrack, hopefully, gets a run at every kick on over summer. I’ll leave the rest up to you. 

Be well, enjoy what you can, and be grateful for what you got. Hug ya mates as soon as you can.

Her words >> Thanks again for having me.  This was my little project while lockdown was going on. Felt great to complete it and turned out better than I thought. Restored my faith in just preserving and not overthinking it! Cos Jesus, I was sometimes. I had heaps of fun. Glad to know my mix will be alongside so many other superstars too.
