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 

1 Georges Rodi - Dream In The Space
2 Fumitaka Anzai - エピローグ~伝説~ (Epilogue: The Legend)
3 Ian Boddy - Images
4 Tonto's Expanding Head Band - Ferryboat
5 Trevor Bastow - Kinetic Strength
6 Kitaro - Astral Trip
7 Benoit Hutin - Phoebus
8 Didier Bocquet - Voyage Terre
9 Caravelli - Les Extra Terrestres
10 Jean-Michel Desbouis - Univers
11 Trance - Here And Now - Leben I'm Jetzt

12 Dr. Philter Banx - High Heels and Mirrored Thighs Pt. 3
13 Milpatte - Sibir
14 Alan Hawkshaw - Statue of Jupiter
15 Reinhard Lakomy - Unendliche Ratsel
16 Cosmic Hoffmann - Orbiting Neptune
17 Sauveur Mallia - Rectangle Astral
18 Carl Matthews - Harmony Through Conflict
19 Mark Shreeve - Black Candles
20 Francis Rimbert & Frederick Rousseau - Stress Delta
21 Dionne-Brégent - Incarnation
22 Führs & Fröhling - Ammernoon 

*the Cosmic Hoffmann-track is an undated archival release. It certainly sound very 1970's.
