John Creamer returns with ‘White Powder Dreams’ via NYLOVE
John Creamer's Return to NYLOVE Records
A Foundational Figure Re-emerges
John Creamer established himself during New York's underground house renaissance of the 1990s, co-founding NYLOVE Records and crafting landmark remixes including Kosheen's "Hide U" and iiO's "Rapture". His influence extended through the duo John Creamer & Stephane K, which shaped the progressive house sound across international club circuits.
After years focused on curation and mentorship, Creamer returns with 'White Powder Dreams' on December 29, 2025—his first major production release via NYLOVE in recent memory. The track demonstrates continuity with his deep tech foundations while incorporating contemporary progressive house production techniques, positioning him alongside emerging producer NOAM (NYC) and veteran vocalist Vivian Sessoms in an intergenerational collaboration.
The Original Track and Its New Interpretation
Reimagining a 1997 Deep House Classic
'White Powder Dreams' reinterprets Farley & Heller's 1997 deep house track originally released on Fire Island. John Creamer teams with rising NYC producer NOAM and veteran vocalist Vivian Sessoms—whose credits include collaborations with Ryuichi Sakamoto and Stevie Wonder—to translate the original's atmospheric textures into contemporary deep tech and progressive house frameworks.
The new version layers rolling basslines with rhythmic pads and trance-influenced production techniques, reflecting how New York's underground house lineage evolves through intergenerational dialogue. Additional remixes from Anhauser (Festa Bros), Retrotech (Manny Ward and Curtis Atchison), and Rissa Garcia extend the track's reach across club contexts, demonstrating NYLOVE Records' commitment to both honoring classic material and supporting emerging production voices.
Who's Behind the Release
John Creamer anchors this release, bringing decades of New York house music history to the project. A co-founder of NYLOVE Records and architect of landmark remixes including Kosheen's "Hide U" and iiO's "Rapture," Creamer emerged from the city's '90s underground scene as a defining voice in deep and progressive house.
Collaborators and Contributors
He teams with NOAM (NYC), a rising producer known for work with UpAllNight and Arthur Baker, and veteran vocalist Vivian Sessoms, whose credits span collaborations with Ryuichi Sakamoto and Stevie Wonder. The remix package features contributions from Anhauser (Festa Bros), Retrotech (Manny Ward and Curtis Atchison), and Rissa Garcia, spanning tech-house to progressive interpretations.
Why This Collaboration Matters Now
Bridging Eras in Underground House
John Creamer's return through NYLOVE Records positions a foundational architect of New York's '90s house scene alongside emerging producer NOAM, creating a template for how underground dance music maintains continuity. This isn't nostalgia—it's active transmission of institutional knowledge through collaboration rather than archival preservation.
The choice to reinterpret Farley & Heller's 1997 deep house track signals a broader industry pattern: canonical material re-examined through contemporary production lenses. With remixes from Anhauser, Retrotech, and Rissa Garcia, the release functions as both homage and innovation sandbox.
Veteran vocalist Vivian Sessoms adds gravitas, connecting this project to larger currents in electronic music crossover. NYLOVE's independent infrastructure enables this kind of multi-generational risk-taking that major labels increasingly avoid.
