“This is an alternate 1999. It is the future that never was... The future that will never be... A future that exists only in dreams caught on VHS!"    
  
"90's Trance and Drum 'n Bass meets Y2K"

VHS Dreams is the alias of UK-based, Greek-born electronic music artist George Dervenagas. Since his life-changing discovery of dance music at the age of 11, he's made the curation and creation of sounds his lasting obsession. After many years of club residencies in his home island, he got his first break as a producer with VHS Dreams' "TRANS AM". The album, a revivalist tribute to the dance culture of the 80's and his childhood love for GTA, put the artist at the forefront of 2015's Retrowave movement. In 2018, VHS Dreams pushed the nostalgia needle further with “Lost World”, a return to 90’s Ambient House music.

As his consequential first exposure to the beauty of electronic sounds reached its 20th anniversary, and our century a new decade, VHS Dreams yet again expanded on the stylistics of his trademark nostalgia. Reflecting on the euphoric innocence and optimism of a bygone Y2K world, his music explores new anthemic heights that reflect upon attitudes towards our own emerging future.

The process must begin from somewhere.
