Dreamscape 9 It’s A Knockout — Round One
Dreamscape’s numbered series leaves Milton Keynes for Plymouth, with the contemporary flyer anchoring the event and later tape catalogues preserving a much wider recording footprint.
Round One in Plymouth
The flyer establishes the event facts; the later tape catalogue shows more of what circulated from the night without being treated as a timetable.
Dreamscape leaves Milton Keynes
Dreamscape 9 is part of the numbered history, but its geography makes it distinct from the Sanctuary run surrounding it.
Dreamscape 9 took the numbered series to The Warehouse in Plymouth. Phatmedia’s flyer record confirms the venue, city, organiser and 4 February 1994 date, matching the Rave Archive artwork. Those details give the page its firm event identity.
The later House of Music Dreamscape catalogue lists an eight-pack under ‘It’s The Knockout Round 1’ and names Clarkee, DJ Sy, Dougal, Easygroove, Ellis Dee, Grooverider, LTJ Bukem, Ramos, Ratty and Slipmatt across the package. The difference between that later wording and the flyer-led title is retained rather than silently normalised.
Three Rave Archive UK Mixcloud recordings are linked here: Easygroove with Robbie D, Clarkee with Robbie D, and Grooverider with Ranski & Bassman. They establish a strong playable core without inventing URLs for every tape known from the later catalogue.
Dreamscape 9 proves Dreamscape was bigger than The Sanctuary
Plymouth matters here as much as the DJ names.
The contemporary flyer fixes Round One at The Warehouse in Plymouth, while later tape catalogues preserve a much broader recorded footprint than the three RAUK transfers currently playable. Clarkee, Sy, Dougal, Easygroove, Ellis Dee, Grooverider, Bukem, Ramos, Ratty and Slipmatt all appear across the surviving catalogue.
That combination lets the page make a stronger point without exaggerating: by early 1994 Dreamscape’s numbered identity could travel away from Milton Keynes and still generate a substantial tape afterlife. The Plymouth flyer remains the event authority; the later pack tells us what recordings circulated from it.
