Road To The GRAMMYs^®
The road to the GRAMMYs^® began in early 2025 when Ron Trent, internationally recognized from his early DJ career in Chicago as a House Music pioneer, was invited by British hitmakers Soul II Soul's Creative Director Dean Zepherin to remix a track of his choice from their catalog. A fan of their material from their debut in 1989 - Trent settled on reworking "A Dreams A Dream," the original itself a dance floor smash peaking at #3 on the Billboard Club Chart in 1990. Trent enlisted frequent collaborator Dorian Cheah to add live strings which served to elevate the interplay between rhythm and vocals.

"...This was about bringing together two unwavering spirits and powerhouses who both stand in their authenticity and live and breathe their music. Ron chose "A Dreams A Dream" and it couldn't have been a better fit. His musicality. His connection to the dance floor. The detail that he puts into everything has been impactful and I'm proud that this union has reached such an esteemed recognition."
- Dean Zepherin, Creative Director Soul II Soul

The remix, at first available exclusively on vinyl, was feverishly embraced selling out twice before being made available online.

"Ron Trent gave us a class production on the remix duties for this Soul II Soul gem, tastefully done and one of this year’s favorites for me!"
Louie Vega
GRAMMY^® winner, 7x Nominee

"My jaw literally hit the floor" exclaimed Victoria Wilson James sharing her initial reaction to the mix incorporating her original vocals. "The chord progressions, the production are just stellar. It's AMAZING after all these years that Ron Trent has kept up the innovation and elevated "A Dreams A Dream" for a whole new generation."

"an enhancement by DJ Ron Trent deserves nothing less than a GRAMMY^® nomination, for real."
Jazzie B, Founder Soul II Soul
