Island Hill and Phonique Make ‘Dreams Become Reality’

Read time 1 min.

Island Hill teams up with Berlin deep house icon Phonique for ‘Dreams Become Reality’, a lush, emotive release out now via Sanctuary Music. This three-track gem blends dreamy grooves and melodic textures, perfect for both 3AM soul-searching and peak-time club moments.

Phonique, who’s carved out his place in underground dance history with a catalogue that spans Crosstown Rebels, Dessous, and Poker Flat, brings that unmistakable refined deep house energy. His style – all about tight rhythms, velvety basslines, and hypnotic movement – provides the perfect foundation for Island Hill’s unique flavor. Known for their fusion of indie guitar textures and dreamy, airy vocals, Island Hill adds the emotional layer, turning these tracks into mini soundtracks that tug at the heart while keeping your feet moving.

Each track on ‘Dreams Become Reality’ feels like its own chapter. The project moves seamlessly from downtempo beginnings to rhythmic peaks, filled with detailed production – warm synths, tight percussion, and vocal hooks that land just right. The balance between acoustic and electronic elements gives the EP a timeless edge, capturing that elusive blend of feeling and function.

And then there’s the remix. Alexey Union & XANDL rework the title track into a glowing, retro-tinted banger. With shimmering synths, punchy bass, and a groove straight from the ’80s, the remix adds a whole new dimension to the project. It’s nostalgic in all the right ways, playful yet deep – like a dance party in a dream sequence.

What really stands out is the attention to detail and emotion. ‘Dreams Become Reality’ isn’t just another dance release – it’s a body of work that refuses to sit in one genre, instead stretching across deep house, indie, and melodic techno. The result is immersive, transportive, and totally addictive.

With this collaboration, Island Hill and Phonique prove that when two creative worlds collide, magic happens. They didn’t just make music – they crafted an atmosphere, a feeling, and a full-blown experience. And if this is just the beginning, we’re all in for something special.
