PREMIERE: Kenn Colt, Funk D – In My Dreams (Children) [Feels Like Home Records]
Kenn Colt has never been afraid of playing with nostalgia—but this time he’s flipping a trance classic into a peak-time tech house weapon. His new track with Funk D, In My Dreams (Children), reworks Robert Miles’ legendary 1995 single Children into something made for the mainstage in 2025. Big synth hooks, driving low-end, and that familiar melodic motif all collide here. It drops officially on July 11 via Feels Like Home Records—but we’ve got the exclusive premiere a full week early.
What makes this collab even more interesting is the context. Funk D and Kenn Colt reconnected in Asia after years apart, and the energy from that link-up bleeds into the production. Kenn’s experience playing Tomorrowland, Ultra, and beyond gives the track its size. Funk D adds the pressure with gritty club-ready drums. They’ve built something that nods to one of dance music’s most emotional tracks while clearly being locked into now.
We caught up with Kenn Colt ahead of the drop to talk longevity, ego, identity, and why the booth still feels like home.
When you think back to when you first started DJing, what do you think you were really chasing?
When I first started DJing, I think I was chasing a feeling, pure connection. That special moment when the music hits just right and the crowd is completely with you. It wasn’t about being famous or chasing numbers, it was about making real connections through music and creating music that hits the emotional part of the crowd. The numbers are nice, but they’re just a bonus. What really matters is the energy and the emotion in the room.
Has your reason for doing this changed over time—or has it just gotten clearer?
It’s gotten clearer. In the beginning, you chase the buzz, the gigs, bigger stages, more crowd, the adrenaline. Over time, you realize it’s deeper. I do this because it gives people an escape, a release, and I feel lucky to be part of that experience. It’s not about being bigger anymore, it’s about the journey towards that that makes things special.
Never forget the journey towards chasing your goals, because that’s the most beautiful part of it.
Do you think ego is something you have to wrestle with as a DJ, or can it actually help in the right ways?
Ego’s definitely something you need to keep in check. There’s a fine line between confidence and arrogance.
A little ego can push you to take risks and put yourself out there—but if it gets in the way of reading the crowd or connecting with people, it becomes a barrier. Never let your ego get you, always be true to yourself.
How much of your identity is tied up in being a DJ—and has that ever been a good or bad thing?
It’s a big part of who I am, no doubt. Music has shaped my lifestyle, my friendships, and my perspective on the world. But I’ve also learned to separate Kenn Colt the artist from the person behind it.
I truly see Kenn Colt as a third person which I am shaping myself for some time now. That balance helps keep me grounded and keeps the love for what I do.
What do you love most about this role right now, when it’s going well?
When it’s going well, the energy is amazing. You give the crowd something, and they give it right back at you tenfold. That moment when everything clicks—lights, sound, the vibe—and you feel the whole room breathe together. Everyone just feels connected. That feeling is hard to explain, but it’s why I love doing this so much.
What keeps you coming back to the booth even on the hard nights, or when the scene feels off?
Even on rough nights, I remind myself that someone in the crowd might need this more than I know. And honestly, once I’m in the mix, the music takes over. It’s therapy.
No matter how tired or off I feel, the music always brings me back to that feeling when I started and why I started music in the first place.
Do you feel like you’re part of a bigger community—or does it still feel like a solo path sometimes?
It can feel solo, especially when you’re constantly traveling, moving from one city or stage to the next. But it feels like a real community, even more with the new generation (Gen-Z) – they feel more connected to an artist than others. From fellow DJs to fans who’ve been with me for years, I’ve met so many amazing people.
That support, that shared love for music, that’s the glue that keeps it all together.
