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:)

If you enjoyed visiting Twin Earth, just press the jazz or jazz fusion-tag and you’ll find close to 24 hours of finely selected jazz often sharing a similar approach to this one (among many other things)

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
