The year is 1988. The Second Summer of Love is in full swing and A Guy Called Gerald was dominating the charts with Voodoo Ray, one of the first true house anthems and by far Geralds biggest hit. Later that year he dropped another 12 of the same pedigree together with producer team T-Coy featuring the legendary Haienda resident DJ Mike Pickering: Dream 17.

A bit lesser-known than AGCGs smash record, this EP is the perfect blend of the Madchester rave ethos and the early jackin sounds coming out of Chicago at the time. Soulful vocals and playful drums coupled with one of the most recognisable 303 basslines ever programmed will transport you to those blissful dancefloors where nothing but the here and now seemed to matter. But, make no mistake: this record is as much about celebrating the past as it is about looking to the future, and will remain relevant for many years to come.

Annette Dream 17 is now available as a limited edition of 500 copies on purple vinyl.
