Robert Miles' "Children" was certified gold and platinum in several countries and reached number one in more than 12 countries; it was Europe's most successful single of 1996. It's one of the pioneering tracks of Dream house, a genre of electronic dance music characterized by dream-like piano melodies, and a steady four-on-the-floor bass drum.

Dream house was intended to calm rave party people prior to their driving home, as a means to reduce car accident deaths.
