Footsie & Strategy Drop Explosive Collaborative Album Theatre of Dreams.

East London meets Manchester in Theatre of Dreams—a powerhouse collaboration between Grime icon Footsie and Manchester’s underground hero Strategy. The album dropped alongside the cinematic visuals for lead single Standard, shot by Dan Hyde across both cities, capturing the raw energy of the duo’s creative clash.

This isn’t just a meeting of minds—it’s a lyrical sparring match. Trading bars and pushing each other to the limit, the duo have crafted an album that’s high-octane, uncompromising, and rooted in the foundations of UK underground culture. Theatre of Dreams marks Footsie’s first collab album outside of the legendary Newham Generals, blending London grit with Manc firepower.

With production credits from heavyweights like Toddla T, Sir Spyro, and Metrodome—plus beats from both Footsie and Strategy themselves—the sound is genre-bending, running through Grime, Dub, Hip-Hop and beyond. Footsie’s legacy needs no intro: from N.A.S.T.Y Crew to co-founding Newham Generals with D Double E, he’s shaped the Grime blueprint. Strategy, meanwhile, brings years of Northern energy and rave-scene credentials from Broke ’n’ £nglish and beyond.

With tracks like Kwik Wontoo landing on the FIFA soundtrack and an album launch party in Manchester (May 7th via Ramona Radio Rave), the momentum’s real. Theatre of Dreams isn’t just a record—it’s a statement. One that shouts loud for UK culture, sound system heritage, and the power of collaboration.
