Released in October of last year to much critical acclaim, The Forgotten’s hit single ‘Dreams’ returns to the release radar with five enthralling new reinterpretations. This time around, the enigmatic talent has enlisted remix duties from Tokyo Rose, ERM, Ash Milez, MYKOOL, and BUNNY via the esteemed imprint and brand Tasty Network. The latest to come from The Forgotten follows up their recent string of highly-successful singles this year such as ‘Akira’, ‘Feel New’, ‘Robots’, ‘Rebels’, and ‘Maniac’. Out now via Tasty, the 5-track ‘Dreams’ remix EP is available to listen to across all streaming platforms.
Kicking things off, Tokyo Rose and The Forgotten join forces in transforming the source material into a completely new sonic masterpiece.

The remix is instilled with a new edgier tone that effortlessly highlights the rich lyricism present in its entirety. Trance sensibilities are audibly sprinkled throughout, giving the track a newfound rapturous ambiance.
ERM takes the reins next, and pivots stylistically with a more hard-hitting intensity. The vocal takes front-and-center for the beginning half before the hefty bass drops hits in full-force. Propelling the listener through its nearly four-minute runtime, the remix is characterized by rolling basslines and a propulsive energy that doesn’t ever let up. In all, ERM’s new take completely reimagines the original track into a completely new electronic dance music masterpiece.
Ash Milez’s remix immediately begins with an elongated, futuristic soundscape. The low-pitched vocal cut is eventually introduced into the sonic space, and evokes a sense of sheer wonder. The mellow beat drop features shimmering, glitchy-sounding elements paired alongside a driving melody. Each of these perfectly showcase Milez’s highly impressive production prowess from start-to-finish.
MYKOOL completely upends the original track by transforming the tune into a certified drum and bass rinser. The propulsively driving offering maintains its high-octane flair with ease, and also features distorted instrumentation that adds to the overall lively sonic raucousness this new remix champions.
Lastly, BUNNY finishes the 5-track remix EP with their new version of ‘Dreams’. The new remix harkens back to the hard rock days of the early-2000’s, and places a strong emphasis on the guitar riffs and overall rock-and-roll vibe. Opting for a more cerebral approach, BUNNY’s remix features uncompromising production throughout its approximately three-and-a-half minutes.
