It's pretty safe to assume that if I was raving every weekend in 1995 that if there was a Dreamscape on I would have been there. The previous 2 events had been 15 vs 16 and 17 vs 18 to reflect the fact Rollers was being used, but they reverted back to single figures for this one even though Rollers was still being used.
MTV were at this event with MC Magika presenting. I've posted a short clip of this which includes the video to "Love U More" by Paul Elstak. The tune itself features in the Brisk set which is the first instance I've found of it being played at a UK rave. In Paul Elstak's native Holland though it would enter the Top 40 the following week.
Also at this event were Eternity magazine where Dreamscape won their best rave award and Dougal won best DJ and they were presented with the awards on the night.
In the Rollers it was a drum & bass only arena. DJ Hype played in the main arena though, the only drum & bass DJ to do so.
The tape packs were separate happy hardcore and drum & bass ones. In the drum & bass tape packs the tune played the most was "Hearing is Believing" by MA2 which appeared in 5 of the sets. No happy hardcore tune appeared more than 3 times and there are too many to mention which did appear that many times. One that is perhaps worth a mention is "Toy Town" which got played 3 times having debuted the previous week. We'll be hearing a lot more of that.
In the main arena playing happy hardcore were Bunjy and Donovan 'Bad Boy' Smith who are both better known to be drum & bass DJs.
HMS was playing in the "Tek No Prisoners" arena but made it onto the happy hardcore tape pack. He hadn't quite reached his extreme gabber phase yet but the signs were certainly there.
We had more new for 1995 records at this event then any of the other events featured so far with 34 drum & bass tunes and 40 hardcore ones (using the term to cover the Clarkee and HMS sets).

One of the notable ones here "Down 2 Love" by Force & Styles Whilst both Force and Styles had tunes previously as part of Force & the Evolution and A Sense Of Summer, this was the first Force & Styles tune that appears to have been played out. It's nowhere near their best known and doesn't sound like a typical Force & Styles record either, but we're seeing them starting as a duo.
You cant definitely sense that Dreamscape were the rave of the moment, but what came next was the biggest Dreamscape of them all. More on that when the time comes.
