Dream Select is Pizza Hotline’s follow-up to the cult hit Level Select, blending jungle, ambient pads, and PS1-era video game nostalgia. The album continues the UK based producer's journey into the fusion of Y2K video game aesthetics with modern breakbeat music. As the name suggests, DREAM SELECT is a collection of dreamy, hypnotic, and emotionally-charged tracks — built to feel like they’re from a forgotten 2000s video game that never existed. It draws heavily on the sound and spirit of the PS1, PS2, Dreamcast, and N64 eras and games such as Wipeout and Ape Escape. The sound relies on obscure and dated 90s sample CDs, as well as hunting through ROMplers and digital synths of the era to find crystalline, artificial, and precise sounds that have come to define Pizza hotline's sound.

It’s been a hell of a ride since releasing Level Select back in 2022. Thanks to all the fans and pizza lovers who’ve supported me and kept me in the kitchen/studio making pizzas…I mean MUSIC!



Jokes aside, I’ve been working incredibly hard on DREAM SELECT for about a year spinning half cooked versions of tracks in live sets, seeing how people react and taking them back to the kitchen to tweak them. So, for the eagle eared among you, you may have heard little slices here and there in my sets. I’m pleased to say that I’ve landed on an album that I’m proud of, keen to share, and ain't too cheesy either.
