Dream Frequency

Dream Frequency are an English house and hardcore band, formed in Preston, Lancashire. One of the projects of the late 1980s, founded by the brothers Mark and Ian Bland, they performed initially at local events in the English rave clubs such as Shelley's.

In early 1992, the project gained their first hit single with "Feel So Real", which peaked at #23 in the UK Singles Chart.^[1] Shortly thereafter, "Take Me" reached #39 in the UK chart. In 1994, their further efforts "Good Times" / "The Dream" (#67) and "You Make Me Feel Mighty Real" (#65) also made brief forays into that chart.^[1]

At the time, Ian Bland was also involved with fellow chart acts, Beat Renegades, Quake featuring Marcia Rae, and Red.^[1]

After a long pause, Dream Frequency became active again at the beginning of the new millennium, and was still represented both nationally and internationally.
