Dream Weapons present: PRESENT TENSE C60

I have to admit that I’m a little proud of this one. It is the sort of mixtape I would have loved for someone else to have compiled - and for me to discover. Twelve compositions released in 2024 and two from 2023 is about as present tense that I’m capable of. Actually it’s way beyond my capabilities in that regard. I made a  playlist titled «Strange Beauty», and somehow this hour of pristine musical gems materialized from within it. Almost. 

-Whether leaning mostly toward the traditional, experimental, electronic or ambient - all fourteen compositions can safely be filed under «Modern Classical». In retrospect, I might as well have kept my playlist-title, as these are all strange beauties to my ears -Moahaha

Dream Weapons present: OBSIDIAN ROCKS C90

No, I’ve not compiled the musical equivalent to a volcanic eruption. It’s closer to the polished rocks or handmade figures made from the volcanic glass that naturally occurs when lava rapidly cools. Yes, it’s another mix of fusions between the Jazz and various styles of music that seemingly everyone was into during the 1970’s. Sometimes resembling World Music, sometimes spiritual, often groovin’, always radiating warmth. Humankind at its very best -Moahaha

Added streaming option for Xmas Delights I-IV

Because why not? As they were all compiled before DWp existed, and before I knew about this streaming option thing, these have never been available as such. I had to upload III in mono, otherwise the file would have been too big. Over half the songs were in mono to begin with anyway. I much prefer mp3's of course, but I know at least some of you think streaming is more practical and handy. Enjoy! -Moahaha

Dream Weapons present: XMAS DELIGHTS XIII C60

Ernie says "Christmas season begins shortly after the end of the big meal on Thanksgiving. Be there or be square" - so I'll follow his lead. Although over here Thanksgiving was actually two months ago. I didn't even notice - or know. All "we" do is to decorate the altar with ribbons of corn and other crops from the fields, so I gladly discard our local traditions in favour of a little Americanization.

-Anyway I'm glad I'm not particularly superstitious, as it's time for my thirteenth collection of delights for the festive season! I always think my latest will be my last. But it's the same procedure as last year. Same procedure as every year. My seasonal compilations are always drenched in nostalgia. They aim at capturing the spirit of an idealized Christmas that only really exist in fiction. Or perhaps you recognize the feeling from looking at faded family photographs, alternatively a grainy video taken by your parents - while the younger you meet Santa, open a present... Or some other childhood highlight. Perhaps not. Either way, I once again present to you another variation of cozy oldies, lighthearted latin/easy listening gems and the likes, for the first half of my selection. Followed by heartwarming folksongs, and some classical/early music stunners on the less festive, but no less christmassy B-side of things -Moahaha

It may take a while till I return with another mix. So I might as well wish you a wonderful December - and I hope that 2025 will be a shockingly awesome year for all of you (and for me)!

Dream Weapons present: GOOD TIMES BAD TIMES C90

If this was a person, «A hot mess» would perfectly sum up these ninety minutes of music. It’s a fun and colorful collection of thirty songs. In that sense much like the misleading, but relatively fun and colorful cover art. Stylistically a little all over the place and geographically from all over the world. Plenty more good times than bad times, really. But in times like these, who wouldn’t welcome more of the former and less of the latter? Enjoy! -Moahaha

Dream Weapons present: A TRIP TO THE GARDEN C90

A strange trip to a strange garden. Or maybe someone’s tripping in a garden. Who knows. Either way it’s a sort of east meets west - and south, far in far out, psychedelic mix. Ninety minutes of great vibes and a nice, continuous flow through fields of flowers, on pathways to hothouses and fountains, drowsing under trees and so forth... -Moahaha

Dream Weapons present: THE WELCOME PUNCH C60:

I threw a party for my birthday not long ago, and on the cover you can see me eagerly awaiting the arrival of my first guests. The idea was to compile music for that first hour at a party - or any kind of festive gathering. There’s a lot of considerations to be taken. It’s basically background music for conversing, but it needs to be fun and hold a semi-danceable beat - although no one’s gonna dance just yet. If you don’t have a party planned sometime in the near future, pour yourself a drink, play this  - and pretend. That’s the magic of music -Moahaha

Dream Weapons present: THE TWIN EARTH C60

 

 -the Twin Earth is just me compiling in easy mode. Meaning another hour of Soul Jazz, Jazz Fusion, Latin Jazz etc...  Music recorded in between 1969-1981 that seamlessly grooves along from one tune to the next. Each new track has something unique to offer but I also feel that they are somewhat unified. Super likable soundscapes of the sort that I’m pretty much always in the mood for. There’s simply an astounding amount of unheard gems (primarily) from the seventies in these genres for me to choose from. Yes, I know I’ve said this before, but that's because it’s true -Moahaha 

Btw: Life is even more complicated than I am used to (but I'm good), and I'm not really in a "music discovery mode" nowadays. Also I have less time to make these mixes as well. Every time I've shared a mix lately, I've been thinking that it will take (quite) a while until I come up with a next one. This time it's no different. But I've been wrong many times before, so who knows:)

Dream Weapons present: (STOP AND) SMELL THE ROSES C60

It’s summer and sunny outside. I feel that it's time for another golden hour of oldies.  Eleven songs and (as often before) eleven matching instrumentals. Like my previous «A Million Dreams Ago» this collection contains nothing but oh so lovely, long forgotten* non-rockin’ delights from the 1950’s. And that’s what the world needs right now. At least here in my world -Moahaha

Dream Weapons present: DEEP INSIDE A DREAM C90

We're falling down the rabbit hole. Transporting you into a wonderfully (and troublingly) surreal state. Sweet dreams gently interrupted by waves of unease. Like an adventure taking place inside of your subconscious. Or like someone is trying to tell you a half-remembered tale. A «can’t put my finger on it» sort of vague concept for a trip through the motions. Sounds fun doesn’t it? -Moahaha

Dream Weapons present: NOCTURNAL C90

 

 

«Through the darksome forest roam, Luna breaks through oaks and bushes» is a quote from Goethe's poem «The Beautiful Night». I wanted to capture a vibe like that in music somehow. Nocturnal music to me is ambiguous music of light and dark. Slow-footed, jazzy film noir moods, loads of easy, eerie listening and I think... a few surprises underway -Moahaha

Dream Weapons present: FLOWERS IN MY GARDEN C60

Flowers in My Garden features ethereal folk, folk rock and pop recorded sometime between 1968 to 1983. Some self released loner folk and demos to thorougly arranged and sophisticated studio recordings. But I think there’s a dense atmosphere and a haunting quality to everything here. Unheard or forgotten songs of a certain beauty forever lost. I wanted the cover art to match its mysterious and enchanting content, but I see now that it ended up resembling a cheap yellowback. I think the painting I used is very nice though:) -Moahaha

Dream Weapons present: CITY LIGHTS C90

For as long as I can recall I’ve loved those gorgeous string arrangements, the lighthearted playful sensuality, the synths and the grooves of Disco. Yet I never felt like had the overview or knowledge to compile a mix. But now I went along and did it anyway. During the years these 19 tracks were recorded: from 1975 to 1982: Disco was a global phenomena. So there’s literally a whole world of largely unheard gems out there to discover. Locating different takes from different scenes is most definitely part of the charm. Some funky, jazzy and organic takes, while others goes hard on the synths and drum machines. But always peppy, fun and... life-affirming -Moahaha
