Island Hill teams up with renowned German DJ and producer Phonique for the ‘Dreams Become Reality’ single, which will be released on May 9th via Sanctuary Music.

This three-track collection effortlessly blends deep house and melodic techno, weaving rich melodies, textured rhythms, and airy vocals into a hypnotic, immersive sound. Each track builds its atmosphere, from deep and emotive to chilled and driving, taking listeners on a journey that moves between introspection and pure dancefloor energy.

Island Hill and Phonique seem to have found the perfect balance between deep, lush soundscapes and dancefloor energy on Dreams Become Reality.
Phonique, a Berlin-based producer known for his refined take on deep house, has released on esteemed labels like Dessous, Poker Flat, and Crosstown Rebels. His signature style blends effortlessly with Island Hill’s indie-driven guitars and evocative vocals. The result is a sound that feels both organic and electronic, with Phonique’s deep grooves providing the perfect foundation for Island Hill’s rich, atmospheric songwriting.

Adding another dimension, the 80s-inspired remix comes from Alexey Union & XANDL, who inject retro-tinged synths and nostalgic grooves, giving the track a fresh yet timeless feel.

You can now listen to the full premiere of ‘Dreams Become Reality’ exclusively on When We Dip Radio. Enjoy!
