Hello!

I've gotten several concerned emails (and a few comments here) lately, so I'll reply to you "all" here. 

First, thank you for caring! I have occasionally hinted I might not have the time to continue compiling these mixtapes. Previously it's always been a false alarm. But this time it's not. 

My life is different now than it has been during the ten years I've been posting quite regularly here. I have to focus 100% of what I actually do for a living, which leaves 0% for my labor of love (I love what I do for a living as well though:). I'm sorry. I'm afraid that's just how it is.

Since Drain Crystals was posted here in November 2015, I've counted 276 additional entries here. About 260 of those feature either 60 - or 90 minutes of carefully selected, largely overlooked, unheard or forgotten music. I haven't counted how many there are of each, but there has to be at least two and a half weeks of music here to immerse yourself in. So until my life takes another turn, and I have more time to spare than I've got for the time being, I'm sure most of you can find plenty of yet unheard stuff to listen to in our Mix Archive. As far as I'm aware, it's all still available. I just learned that Pixeldrain removes any file that hasn't been downloaded for 60 days. I did a quick check and so far only the two latest Xmas-mixes were gone (naturally). I'll reupload those in late November.

I'm grateful for all of you that has stuck around over the years an posted supportive comments. Also everyone that cares deeply enough for music of all flavors and styles to quietly appreciate our shares. I'm glad there are so many kindred spirits out there. Otherwise I wouldn't have bothered doing this for over a decade.

From looking at download stats and streaming numbers, I know Dream Weapons present has reached many thousands. Not bad for a rather anachronistic way of sharing and listening to music (but outside of physical, it's still how I personally listen to music). The broadcasting of our shows on Radio AlHara every second and fourth Wendensday each month is still ongoing. But it's the mixes already shared here, so it's maybe not all that interesting to you. It keeps DWp: somewhat alive for me though.

-I wish you all the best. Sincerely, Moahaha

Btw: Sometime in October, I think, a C90 I compiled last autumn will be posted here. It was a commission, so I have to wait for them to premiere it, for me to post it here.  Also Crazy Monkey has compiled a few, but I haven't had the time for doing the finishing touches - or think about them at all really (except for feeling guilty). 

So at least there's this one to look forward to in a not too distant future. So sorry, not a link. Just a teaser:

Dream Weapons present: DAYS & NIGHTS IN THE GHETTO C90

I(’m an amateur) DJ every once in a while. And lately I’ve been doing these more or less monthly vintage Soul nights. Focusing on that glorious late 60’s - early 70’s era when sweet Soul Music got progressive and fused itself with Psychedelic Rock, Jazz, Funk, African music and whatnot… Often with orchestral arrangements, ethnic percussion and various keyboards. But never forgetting to groove. I love it, and so it seems, does the people attending. 

Needless to say there’s A LOT of practically unheard gems waiting to be discovered. These are all some of my recently discovered, favorite obscurities. About 3/4th of this selection have already been - or will be played at my own club nights. This means no balladeering, and that you can pretty much dance your way though the whole mix. If you feel like it. I was thinking that the days in the ghetto reflects the songs of struggle, while the night-time is playtime. This should be a fun ride for you all. Enjoy! -Moahaha

-This mix/compilation wouldn't have been half as great if it wasn't for the AMAZING FunkMySoul website. If you enjoy this, you should most definitely check out their shares - and spend some time over there.

1 Kay Gees - Ain`t No Time Part 1
2 General Crook - What Time it is (vocal)
3 Barbara Stant - Shadow In Your Footsteps
4 Hot Chocolate (US) - Messin’ With Sly

25 Ohio Players - Satan's Boogie
26 Kool and Together - Get Your Feet Off the Ground 

*Also: Upon relistening; Tenison Stephens - Don't Rip Me Off  (link in bold) - sounded lower in the mix than the songs surrounding it. It truly deserves to be enjoyed like the hard hitting gem it actually is, so I fixed that for you on this new file - for that song specifically.

Dream Weapons present: SATURDAY AT THE SWEET SPOT C90

As some of you may have noticed, it’s been dead quiet here for a while. Unfortunately I have less time to spend on this blog now - and in the foreseeable future. The good news is that Crazy Monkey has got more guest mixes up his sleeve for us, so there will be some activity here. 

But the other evening I felt like giving you a sign of life. Which had me compiling a follow-up-mix out of a list of various jazz I have collected. Saturdays at the Sweet Spot is busier than Sundays, and this is of course Sunday at the Sweet Spot’s livelier companion piece. A little more grooves, tempo and intensity, but otherwise in the same ballpark as its sibling. Just a little something for you melophiles to enjoy -Moahaha

Btw: While the design is very 1950's, the musical content is about three thirds seventies, two sixties tracks and one from the eighties. I just love the esthetics of that era.

Dream Weapons present: POLLINATION C90 by Crazy Monkey

Crazy Monkey, whom I collaborated with on Gatto Nero Di Notte, has compiled a guest mix, and it’s a lovely one. 

Btw: For something like three or four years by now, every second and fourth Wedensday (at 07:00 pm, local time) each month, we have a 90 minute spot on Radio AlHara. Today Pollination fills those ninety minutes. Our compilations are a nice fit, and it's a great thing to be a part of. I just occurred to me that I should remember to mention it every once in a while.

About the mix in CM's own poetic words:

For us, inhabitants of the far south, the end of the cold season marks a very important time of year, turning the silvery stained skies into a glowing intense blue, and with that, life reappears proud of its incomparable beauty. This compilation was born to honor this eternal cycle, and thus accompany the emergence of the new living beings that adorn our surroundings, reciting to us the eternal verses of nature. 

As a scientist but also as a conscious human, observing and caring for nature has been a part of my life since early childhood, and that's what I want to capture in this selection of sounds to share with those who also feel that a whisper from the forest or a gentle caress from the ocean are things worth highlighting -Crazy Monkey

Dream Weapons present: COLD COMFORT C90

Happy New Year everyone! I certainly hope that this will be a happy, new, year. Now a few vague words as to what to expect from Cold Comfort:

-The chilling warmth or warming chills of hauntingly beautiful music and voices. Suitable for January here up north. About 50/50 songs and instrumentals. A mood piece of spellbinding Folk, traditional and Modern Classical (all chamber music, really), Art Pop and other neighboring sounds that seem related. Simultaneously celestial and earthy somehow I think. I’m not certain whether it’s good or bad, but this mix feels very much like where I’m at these days. I like it here though -Moahaha

Dream Weapons present: Xmas Delights XIV C60

-And I just wrote that I wouldn’t have time for compiling another Xmas Delights:). But I had all of these songs in a longer playlist titled «Christmas 2025», so in record time I compiled this from selecting 22 lovely tunes from those six hours. Once again it’s about 3/4 lighthearted oldies, and 1/4 folksy-early music. 

With this, my fourteenth ever Xmas Delights, I wish you all a wonderful December - and an even better 2026! -Moahaha

Dream Weapons present: SIGHTING C90

Hello everyone! I’ve been so busy - and haven’t really the time for music nerding during the latter half of 2025. I’m afraid it’s not over yet. But I finished this mix a while ago. It’s basically all new and Ambient Music - sounding somewhere in between Berlin School and electronic movie scores. I think Sighting would work perfectly to some modern extra terrestrial mystery flick - or series. Like if Tales From the Loop was as great as it should have been. I have listened through several hundred albums within this sonic landscapes throughout the year, and these 20 tracks are among the ones that spoke strongly to both my heart and mind. Speaking of the mind: if yours is open, I’ll think you’ll discover much beauty here -Moahaha 

-Many of you might prefer me in my usual «obscure gems from the past» mode, and I’m sure I’ll get back to that. But I’m afraid I won’t have much of that to offer in the nest couple of months. What can I say… life takes its twists and turns every once in a while. I probably won't have the time to make a Xmas Delight-mix this year either. Sorry.

Dream Weapons present: SUNDAY AT THE SWEET SPOT VOL. 1 C90

Sunday at the Sweet Spot is a club - or a bar concept I wish I could have hung out at… like today. Sometimes, or maybe often just hanging out while listening to some good-natured jazz-groves is just what the doctor ordered. As I do not have an option like that anywhere nearby, I made this one up. Although you might recognize a couple of names here, it's all pretty much unheard material. As always. Not much more to say really. Try it. It's very nice -Moahaha

STORA SKUGGAN & Dream Weapons present: FLYING EASTWARDS C90

Just like STORA SKUGGAN, the music collective Dream Weapons also prefer to lurk in fog and dark corners – perhaps it is the reason we found each other… With a vast archive of mixes - and even though we regularly play many of them - we fear only to have peeled the lid of this sonic treasure. Flying Eastwards C90 is in the selector Moahaha’s own words a “Far East fantasy. Ninety minutes of vintage gems from Japan, Indonesia, Singapore, South Korea, Taiwan and Hong Kong”. The more part of these compositions have never been rereleased in any shape or form since their first release in the 1960s/1970s (we are often marvelled by never recognising any of the productions in the Dream Weapons mixes). Serious knowledge and research is the core of their work. Immerse yourself in the dreamlike beauty and sweet sounds of Enka, Trot, Dangut, Mandopop and Electone - among other things.

A commissioned mixtape for STORA SKUGGAN this time. But I could make whatever kind of mix I felt like, so you won't tell the difference from a regular DWp-mix -Moahaha

Dream Weapons present: EXOPLANETARY MISSION C90

Analogue vintage electronic music for you. Warm as toast and cold as marble. A unique musical language and way of shaping melodies that I only find within these soundscapes - and mainly from this era (these are all 1974-1984*). I hardly know anyone in real life that share my passion for this type of music. So I’m glad you’ve warmly welcomed these mixes - seemingly about as much as every other musical hang-up of mine. Try it. A total trip from start to finish! -Moahaha

The Flying Zoo & Dream Weapons present: GATTO NERO DI NOTTE C90

It’s my great honor and pleasure to introduce Crazy Monkey - who runs two excellent music blogs: The Flying Zoo and Distorted Cortex - with this, our first (but not the last) collaboration together. As I had learned about his current musical passions, I suggested we compiled a Library-mix together. It made for a perfect starting point that got even better when we allowed ourselves a more inclusive approach. The end result is the best imagined Giallo/Horror soundtrack ever made! Beauty and grooves that glow in the dark.

-Welcome to these almost forgotten worlds of mystery and suspense where you can explore the secret passages that lead to the unknown, walking the fine line that separates life from transmutation. A journey into the past that leads us to accept the ephemeral nature of human existence, transformed into sounds that will never return -Crazy Monkey (♒︎)  & Moahaha (♌︎)

Dream Weapons present: STILLNESS IN MOVEMENT C90

With «Music for contemporary dance choreography» as the subheading. It felt more appropriate than the often used «music for an imaginary film»-variation. I just slapped it on for fun, but I actually watch a lot of contemporary dance/ballet. And I do think most of these 18 pieces included, would be perfect for performative dancing. 

This is actually that darker sibling of «Walk with me in Beauty» I mentioned (in my previous post) I was working on. A different kind of beauty. I think it’s all quite stunning really. Modern Classical, Electronic, Ambient, Experimental (often combined), a little doom laden Folk + a slice of Gamelan Jazz(?) compositions - or musicians musicking. All taken from recent releases. Not at all unlike my approach to the present tense-mix shared earlier this year. Deeply in debt to newothermusic, I’ve been searching in these musical fields of late. When this new-other-music sneaks upon me, aims for the heart and hits - it’s truly an earth-shattering experience -Moahaha

Dream Weapons present: WALK WITH ME IN BEAUTY C90

I was compiling a similar, but darker mix and this one is mostly made out of the considered tracks that felt too outright beautiful to fit within that context. I’m not all that seasonal in my music listening habits. But it’s in the midst of summer here, so it felt appropriate to share the «nicest» among the two, first. Ninety minutes of wintery melancholy and longing instead of straight up gloom. Basically a collection that combines Modern Classical, Ethereal Folk with elements of Ambient/Electronic (perhaps bordering on New Age at times). 21 out of 24 tracks are taken from 2024-2025 releases, and the remaining three were released in 2022-2023. For some reason I find that somewhat pleasing in itself -Moahaha

Dream Weapons present: OUROBOROS C90

 

There is quite literally an infinite supply of unheard musical treasures of the past to dig for, discover, love and to share. Here’s fourteen highly spirited grooves from the wide world of Jazz, 1967-1984. It’s been quite some time since last I shared one of these, and the gems have been piling up. Although the bulk of my selection originates from the West, many of the tunes are inspired by various folk traditions of the East. As often before, I might add. I’ve always had a soft spot for musical fusions of this sort.  It never fails to lift my spirits -Moahaha

2 Jef Gilson - Espagnolade

If you enjoyed this (I think you should:), I have quite the bundle of mixes with a similar approach for you to dive into: OBSIDIAN ROCKS, THE TWIN EARTH, INTO BLISS, JAZU KISSA, TEN PORTALS OF INITIATION, TERRESTRIAL PLANETS, SUNSPOTS, THE HOT SPACE, NUMINA, SWAYING VIBES, SELENIAN GARDENS, I AM THE RESURRECTION, CELESTIAL SPACE INN, PER ASPERA AD ASTRA, SUN SPRITES, MUSIC OF THE SPHERES, THE HIGH PRIESTESS and FOURTH WORLD + most of SPIRITS UNKNOWN - 20 in all and more than 24 hours of music:) & if you press the Jazz-tag you'll also find some Avant-Garde/Free Jazz, 1950's Jazz, Easy Listening/Lounge Jazz etc...   

-also while collecting all these links, I noticed I had used Harold Mabern - Alex the Great for both Sunspots & Ten Portals...! Which is why I'm offering Paz - The Buddha as its replacement for the latter mix. Just click on the image underneath and download the song. You'll find the edited cover art attached to the mp3-file (download button on the left). 

+a couple of weeks later I found another one: I've used Hiroshi Sato - Jōdo for both City Lights and A Trip to the Garden. I'm attaching a link to (the much better fit) Okay Temiz & Johnny Dyani - Orient Trip as replacement for the latter mix: 

Dream Weapons present: BREEZING UP C90

It’s just a lighthearted, summer mix for you all to enjoy in the warm breeze. Gorgeous songs and melodies that sometimes has a slight edge (like a guitarist using a fuzz pedal O:), but not enough to ruin the generally pleasant mood. Unheard songs that feel somewhat familiar, I think. My "Feel Good Mix of the Summer" (but not about drugs), perhaps  -Moahaha

Btw, for some reason this one got blocked on Audius - which has to be a first. So I opened another free Mixcloud account. It only allows ten uploads though.
