The first release on Anna Wall’s Dream Theory imprint brings together a collection of artists to display their own ethereal vision through various palettes of sound, field recordings and synthesisers. It was curated during the pandemic, a time when the need for music and catharsis has never been more prevalent.

Many of these emerging artists are known for their electronic music within other genres and this compilation reveals their latest explorations through beatless ambient sounds.

Portugese artist Sputnick delivers a beautiful and reductive opening track ‘The Light’ made from recordings from the Triton synthesiser, while ‘Aquila’ delves into a journey of more complex shimmering melodies, the name inspired by the 22nd largest star constellation. Samuel Padden’s ‘Micronism’ follows instinctively with dancing polyrhythms, inspired by Satoshi & Makoto’s ‘CZ-5000 Sounds and Sequences’. ‘Times and Travels’ is the conceptual piece by Moscow-based artist Alexey Seliverstov which was recorded in 2019, on a pristine Yamaha piano found in an abandoned hotel on a semi-tropical island in Japan. The field recordings that complement the piece were recorded live in the forests of Portugal during a trip last year.

R Ö Y’s ‘When Will We Sea’ is a free-flowing ode to the sea; written about the damage being done to our oceans, emotive pads roll under a wave of Native-American inspired flute. From Figueira da Foz in Portugal Apart experiments across ambient landscapes with the mesmeric ‘Green Fog’, and ‘Consequences’ is a special first-time collaboration between longtime friends. Finding a middle ground within their different workflows and techniques, they shared a similar vision and message for this piece. Label founder Anna Wall delivers two tracks, with ‘Dream Theory’ encompassing her vision of the label itself and ‘Violet Skies’ which was written in dedication to Violet Nariyah Pearl.

22 is the musical collaboration of Josie Danielle and Anna Wall. The duo share a longstanding friendship that dates back to 2011. They experienced a magical connection through music and vowed to create together one day. Their first ever collaboration ‘Inner Self’ was created in their spiritual home of Ibiza in 2014 and was the start of a beautiful musical companionship. They found a synergy when making music together, allowing the creative journey to be intuitive and an expression of their emotional and spiritual experiences at the time. Over the years they shared many studio sessions back in London, often with little equipment and flowing with inspiration. ‘Into Your Heart and ‘Rainbow’ are some of their earliest creations recorded in 2017. They combine their love for deep and emotive sounds with Josie’s vocals to create music with a message.

Dream Theory is about music that connects to our conscious and subconscious mind; exploring sounds across the ambient and experimental spectrum. 

For the fifth instalment on Anna Wall’s Dream Theory, the label returns for another compilation that gathers a collective of artists to share their unique sound explorations. This time we journey through experimentations of many different moods and ideas; from synthesizers, through tape machines, modular synthesis, eclectic samples, the voice and nature recordings.

Inner Zone’s debut EP on The Bricks affectionately reminisces the past - time travelling through dreamy breaks and acid to 90s rave – while remaining firmly rooted in the present.

The ‘JV Sports EP’ marks the seventh release on Anna Wall’s imprint and it’s a long time coming; the trio have been producing together for over five years and only now is their music finally seeing the light of day. Alex Anderson, Rupes & Dr Baird met in London during the years of the Make Me loft parties in 2013-15; their history in the clubs an audible influence within their productions. This EP was started back in the days of bleary-eyed late nights in 2015 and finished in 2020, a distinctive trip through styles reflecting their broad taste.

In the studio they are fond of hardware; the classic sounds of the Roland JV-2080 can be heard in ‘JV Sports’, the X0xb0x 303 for the acid line on ‘Reality Grid', and the Kawai K5000S features on synth duty in ‘The Last Arpy’. Alec Falconer ramps up the BPM for the remix, delivering an unmissable breaks version that craves for a dancefloor.
