“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.

I made a dedicated Soundcloud for my synth stuff. Check it out here: https://soundcloud.com/softbody

07 March 2018

Thinking I'm going to start a separate Soundcloud for all of this synth stuff I'm doing lately. I just need a name and a few tracks to upload once I've figured all that sort of thing out!

26 January 2018

Oh my. I forgot about this page! I still make music but didn't upload any for quite a while before doing so again last year. I just uploaded a few that I made in 2017, but I'm considering recording a few nice old ones that I wrote between in late 2015/2016 too! I hope that no one is too titillated after awaiting the follow up to my "teaser" after two and a half years of waiting. Maybe I'll actually record that one...hmmm! I should also probably hire a designer instead of using a gross image that I created in about two minutes in MS Paint. Maybe someone will think that it's cute.

Listening to my old songs that I haven't heard in years is amazing! I know I still have SO much to learn but it's encouraging to hear how far I've come in five years.

Caught a brutal cold a couple of days after I said I was going to record vocals on those songs so I haven't uploaded them yet. Will get a mic tomorrow and do that. :) 

08 May 2015

I've finally managed to record drums and electric guitars that sound half-decent. The mixes will still sound amateurish, but I'll be posting some new songs hopefully by next week. :)


27 May 2014

I'll be adding new songs shortly. I've been struggling to record things and have them sound nice. I'm not too familiar with the process of production and mixing so it's taking quite a while to get things together. I do have quite a few things that I'd like to put up shortly though :)

I didn't really upload any songs in 2013 but wrote dozens and feel like I've improved. I hope that the next thing I upload will reflect that. I think that failing at adding and mixing more that two guitar parts and vocals has been to blame for the slow uploads. :(

Old Bio from 2012

Hey, everybody. I'm 21 and started writing songs a little over a year ago after spending a long time playing the piano and guitar. For some reason, I always assumed that some people were inherently capable of writing songs, while others were not. Of course, I decided from a young age that I was in the latter category and just never spent very long trying to write my own music, often getting frustrated at the feeble attempts at songs I would conjure up (of course I was comparing everything I wrote with The Beatles and Jimi Hendrix, so the few things I did write seemed totally terrible). Only later did I realise that songwriting is both a craft and artform, and certain skills can be developed to assist in the process. Approaching songwriting from this angle, I no longer immediately disgargarded everything I wrote as being completely wretched, but instead saw all the songs that I did write, good or bad, as a step in the process toward writing better music.

 I recently had the courage to post some of my own songs and singing here so that others could hear it. Thanks to Sky and everyone else who has been extremely nice and kind and supportive so far :) You've helped make this more fun than scary, which is a big step.
