Music For Dream has its 20th anniversary this year. Kenneth Bager has collected the most influential Music For Dreams tunes from the past 20 years.

'20 Years: Best Of' →https://music-for-dreams.lnk.to/20years

Starting off the compilation with pure glamour, is the gorgeous ’Kissing’ by no other than Bliss. Keeping the spirit is the highly successful Jacob Gurevitsch and his hit single ’Lovers In Paris’ that has left more than 35 million breathless on YouTube.

Boom Clap Bachelors makes one lucid dream while being awake with their tune ‘Tiden Flyver’ – FYI Kendrick Lamar has sampled it... Adjusting the tempo is Bjarno’s – ‘Factor 30’. Keeping the upbeat energy is Be Svendsen’s wonderful dance track ‘Andromeda’.

Na na na na ‘The Sound Of Swing’ by Kenneth Bager himself is imprinting yet another mark for Music For Dream’s 20-year history. From the label boss, it goes to Hess Is More’s – ‘Yes Boss’.

‘Melankoli’ by Lulu Rouge is walking on the stairway to dub-heaven. Maybe they’re supposed to ‘Walk with the Dreamers’ and chill out just like Ambala and Laid Back.

To make an end of this quality compilation is the pop-darling Aura with ‘I Will Love You Monday’ and the hyper-pop-duo Perfect Plush with ‘Somebody Knows’. Oh... and to actually round the compilation off is Doctr leaving one dancing to ‘Tropique’.
 
Dig in to the 20-year history of Music For Dreams.

Kenneth Bager - Music For Mindfulness Vol. 6 (Full Comp) - 0288

Music For Dreams presents Copenhagen 2022 Vol. 2 compiled by Kenneth Bager.

'Copenhagen 2022 Vol. 2' →https://linktr.ee/musicfordreams

Just like Vol 1. earlier this year, it’s a compilation filled to the rim with catchy blessings, making sure that you can withhold from the winter to coming.

Noticeable amongst this compilation’s 19 blessings is the opener ‘Aviator’ by the inventive, percussion- based ensemble Sun Creatures consisting of the two musicians Arto Eriksen and Fridolin Nordsø. A sexy jazzy single that could have come out of a stripped-down Love Unlimited Orchestra tune. Another addition is Brit- ish-Chinese DJ and producer Ken Fan that delivers a slice of surging euphoria with ‘Desire’. It’s an operatic journey of blissful pads and majestic piano rises, sus- tained by dynamic drum work. Furthermore, it’s the first single from Ken Fan’s forthcoming project with MFD.

Label-boss Kenneth Bager, the Turkish islandman and Jez Phunk has gotten together and created the won- der ‘Lost’, an exclusive for this compilation. ‘Lost’ is a ra- ther up-tempo chill-out tune with a catchy bassline, chords, shouting tales and a violin solo. DJ Disse’s iconic track ‘Taxi to War’ has been remixed by new- comers Subnesia so “la la lay” yourself through your day.

CHAIRNOGOODFORBACK is featured with their single ‘High Mountains Wild Rivers’. The duo says that they wanted to reflect the stream of consciousness and the idea of being able to comprehend and overcome sit- uations in life through common sense.

Finishing off Copenhagen 2022 Vol. 2 is Venezuelan Vi- nicio Adames who’s won several awards for his sound- tracks on Venezuelan movies. This time he’s featured with a church like ‘Ocre’.

Drift away into the 19 blessings of Copenhagen 2022 Vol. 2.

Kenneth Bager - Copenhagen 2022 Vol. 2 (Full Comp) - 0274

Hailing from Gent, Belgium, kaleidoscopic disco band Rheinzand is a collaborative project between multi-instrumentalist and producer Reinhard Vanbergen, Charlotte Caluwaerts and Mo Disko of renowned duo The Glimmers; accompanied live by Stéphane Misseghers (dEUS) on drums and Bruno Coussée (MannGold) on bass. Their second album 'At- lantis Atlantis' have gotten great critique in the UK. Now they’re releasing ‘Atlantis Atlantis’ once again with extended mixes.

'Atlantis Atlantis (Extended)' →https://linktr.ee/musicfordreams

Upon turning on 'Atlantis Atlantis', the oh so welcome spectre of recently departed Maria Mendola - the airy chanteuse of the beloved Bacchara - seems to appear. Charlotte Caluwaerts, a voice of similar purity proffers the message: “We’ll be alright” on their first single, offering a salve to the troubles the world has faced in recent years. As with their previous work, melody is key. Rich arrangements abound, with Reinhard Vanbergen’s light and funky crevices detailing a home that feels cozy, inviting the listener into the best, most unexpected club around; the one in their living room with all their closest friends. The “Max Berlin” of the group, Mo Disko, is no stranger to bringing this kind of intimacy to his events and freewheeling DJ sets for decades in Gent, Belgium. Once again, his spirit pushes the record into that inviting place where inhibition dissolves, (aka you can really freak out).   Much of Rheinhard Vanbergen’s recent output for Music for Dreams has expertly traversed the forgotten worlds of virtuoso led experimental records, full lengths with tracks that maestros like DJ Harvey undoubtedly treasure. There are glimpses of these danceable instrumental improvisational landscapes such as ”Orange Bun”. One thing about Rheinzand is that they are musicians driven to make dance music that harkens back to a moment when real players appeared on dance music records. These were musicians devoted to their instruments, the kind who made love to them on stage, unafraid of modulations, bombast, histrionics even (cue Elefantasi). Slower subdued numbers reiterate the “journey to Atlantis” we are on, such as the a cover of “Love Games” an honest low slung boogie take on the track.   One of the biggest takeaways from 'Atlantis Atlantis' is the excavation of the real fun that was had in dance music before the advent of loop-based technology. Epic chord progressions, singing songs in multiple languages - these are musicians exploring the colour palette of the entire Pantone spectrum, not only shades of grey and black. Are you up to see the world in colour, brave enough for a journey to Atlantis? Welcome aboard, Rheinzand are here to invite you to do so.

Rheinzand's 2020 s/t debut album was awarded Piccadilly Records' (Manchester) number 1 album of the year and Phonica (London) gave them a well-deserved place in their top 50 of best albums of 2020. Tracks from the album such as ‘Blind’ were championed by DJ Harvey during his summer residency at Pikes Ibiza, and the band have had tracks on the first two volumes of his Mercury Rising compilations.

Rheinzand - Atlantis Atlantis (Extended) [Full Album] - 0306

This album is a compilation of Reinhard Vanbergen’s work. Compiled by Jon Tattersall, Music for Dreams’ label manager and a close friend. This compilation saw the light after Vanbergen released 17 solo albums in 3 years of different styles and another dozen releases with various other projects.

'An Introduction' →https://linktr.ee/musicfordreams

Vanbergen’s solo albums with vocals are all co- written with Charlotte Caluwaerts. The instrumental albums are a mix of nu-classical, ambient, and cinematic soundscapes. Stringed instruments mostly being the basic ingredient of it all, contributing to Vanbergen’s signature sound.

Vanbergen have made a series of “Inspired by” albums and some of the tracks are featured on this ‘best of’ album. For those albums, artists outside of music ignited the inspiration. A painter, a star chef, a photographer, a VR game company, an installation artist...
To stay within this tradition, Vanbergen asked for a painting by another inspiring artist he was lucky enough to meet while he was on tour in Kosovo.

Fitore Berisha Alisdottir is a Kosovar-Icelandic artist. Through her art, she brings out the emotions of desperation and the expression of those surrounding her. Her colours represent the future she hopes to see, vibrant and full of love. Her work treats human problems and obstacles from daily life, which she's witnessed during her journeys in many different places.

Sharing art, connecting and supporting other artists, and building a network of like-minded people was the common ground from the start with Kenneth Bager’s Music For Dreams, and the spirit in which all Vanbergen’s albums and projects were created.
