Dreamscape 23 A View to a Thrill
The Sanctuary Music Arenas, Milton Keynes • Saturday 30 November 1996. Two surviving Rave Archive flyer scans, Phatmedia’s flyer listing and the archive’s own recordings all point to 30.11.96, while a later commercial tape catalogue carries a different November date.
A View to a Thrill at a glance
The surviving flyers and contemporary listing place Dreamscape 23 at The Sanctuary on 30 November 1996.
Why this page uses 30.11.96
Two surviving flyer scans and Phatmedia agree on Saturday 30 November 1996.
The two Rave Archive artwork scans explicitly print Saturday 30 November 1996. Phatmedia lists Dreamscape 23 on the same date, and the Rave Archive recordings below are also labelled 30.11.96. A later House of Music tape catalogue carries a different November date, so the discrepancy is noted here without changing the date printed on the surviving flyers.
Dreamscape 23 returned to The Sanctuary Music Arenas late in 1996 under the ‘A View to a Thrill’ title. The flyer gives the night its strongest period anchor: event name, venue and date all sit together on surviving artwork.
The second scan is shown alongside the first because both survive in the Rave Archive collection and both point to the same Saturday night.
Five exact Rave Archive UK recordings are preserved below: DJ SS & Warren G, DJ Randall & MC Fearless, DJ Hype, Micky Finn & MC GQ and DJ Dazee. Other tapes from the night survive elsewhere, but they are not treated as Rave Archive recordings unless an exact archive source is present.
