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

The image used for the cover art, and at least 1/3 of these tunes were original rips located at the unique and wonderful Melodiesmagic-blog. They make their own compilations too (which I should really check out myself:)
