The Dream Team actually started out in 1988 as the Swedish PC demo group known as Kaos. They released a number of EGA and VGA intros but these have unfortunately been lost to time. Kaos soon died and the new group The Dream Team emerged consisting of same members.
TDT remained a demo group until 1990. It was then when Hard Core it's leader became inspired by the success of The Humble Guys and wanted to emulate the same for his group. Unfortunately for Hard Core it would take a number of years before he reached that level of success. But until that time he decided to conquer Europe and teamed up in a coalition consisting of themselves, TRSI, Public Enemy and Defjam. The coalition didn't last long, but a new alliance emerged between Hardcore's group and TRSI after Hard Core met up with Irata [1] of TRSI. The TDT/TRSI (COOP) lasted for nearly a year, but in April of 1991 they abruptly parted ways and The Dream Team were back as a solitary group.

Most of 1993 remained a solid year which included a merger with an up and coming group, Hybrid. But when six months later Hybrid wanted to break away and use their original name again, Hard Core decided he'd had enough of the scene and killed the group. In biology, hybrid has three meanings. ...
