Dream Weapons present: TOTENTANZ C60

Christmas is over, and the new year is closing in on us. Here is a collection of up- to mid-tempo tunes to keep you entertained during the last few days of the year or even on new years eve. This mix takes a dip into some slower territory halfway trough side B, so you can refill your glasses, mingle or lean back to catch your breath before the final floor filler kicks you into the new year.

Best wishes for 2018 to all of you,

Sadhu Sadhu

Dream Weapons present: XMAS DELIGHTS VOL. VI C90

 

I’m running out of new ways to introduce the same concept for the sixth time in as many years, so I’ll quote myself from 2016 instead "My favorite Christmas tunes reminds why as a child the Yuletide used to be my favorite time of the year. An idealized daydream of what the festive season should be about - or once was"

 -Yet another nostalgia-drenched mix containing a generous chunk of oldies plus jazzy or folk-oriented seasonal-songs. Now you've potentially got seven and a half hours of top notch xmas-delights to enjoy. Who would have thunk it was possible? Not me that’s for sure. Anyway I hope you have yourself an ultra-Merry Christmas! -Moahaha
