A city avenue at golden hour, a row of yellow cabs and three spaced-out words across the middle: that's the first thing "Dream in Color" shows you. Greg Elenis released the single in June 2023.
A Producer Shaped by Travel
Greg Elenis is a producer and musician whose sound draws on the soulful, emotional side of melodic and Afro house. His travels around the world, and the cultures he met along the way, have shaped that style, and he hopes his productions can carry listeners somewhere else for a few minutes. His unofficial remixes of Salif Keita's "Yamore" and "Bah Poulo" picked up support from artists like Adriatique, Sparrow & Barbossa and Edemusik.
Inside "Dream in Color"
"Dream in Color" sits in F minor, at a comfortable mid-tempo pace for melodic house. At three minutes and 42 seconds, it's compact by club standards, which makes it just as easy to drop into a playlist as into a DJ set. Greg Elenis released it himself, and the minor key gives the melody a reflective edge that fits the dusky city scene on the cover.
We like how the title and the artwork play off each other. The picture is a single street caught in warm light, and the title is about seeing things in color. It's a simple idea, and it works.
Where It Sits in the Greg Elenis Catalog
Looking back from 2026, "Dream in Color" marks an early step in a catalog that has kept growing. It came out the same year as "Make You Stay", and later releases include "Ride Or Die", "Red Flag Rhythm" and "Agapás Ti Fotiá". More recently, Greg Elenis leaned further into Afro house with "Twende", which shows how far that travel-inspired sound has moved since 2023.
Final Thoughts
"Dream in Color" is a reminder that a well-made melodic house track doesn't expire. With that golden-hour cover and an F minor melody, where would you play it: a sunset warm-up or the drive home after the night is over? Tell us in the comments.
A Tip for Independent Artists
Greg Elenis put "Dream in Color" out under his own name, and years later it keeps collecting plays. A self-released track can have a long life when it's available everywhere.
