Dream Weapons present: BREEZING UP C90

It’s just a lighthearted, summer mix for you all to enjoy in the warm breeze. Gorgeous songs and melodies that sometimes has a slight edge (like a guitarist using a fuzz pedal O:), but not enough to ruin the generally pleasant mood. Unheard songs that feel somewhat familiar, I think. My "Feel Good Mix of the Summer" (but not about drugs), perhaps  -Moahaha

Btw, for some reason this one got blocked on Audius - which has to be a first. So I opened another free Mixcloud account. It only allows ten uploads though.

Dream Weapons present: TILL THE END O' THE WORLD WITH YOU C60

Alternatively «dance till the end o’ the world with you». Another collection of both schmaltzy and gently romantic oldies. It’ll fill you (or me) with nostalgia, melancholy and the forbidden longing for those good ol’ postwar days of optimism, joy and innocence. A time that probably never existed - but we can dream, can’t we? -Moahaha

Marie Laforêt - Maïtena Marie Brigitte Doumenbach (C60)

My latest show/C60 for 20ft Radio was broadcast a couple of days ago, but they're busy with some music festival, and seemingly haven't had time uploading my mix on mixcloud, so I'll wait with posting "The Garden Party" until they do. Meanwhile here's a(nother) compilation I made nine years ago. Back when when I compiled it her music wasn't on Spotify and in general she felt far more unknown or perhaps forgotten than she does now (at least where I'm situated). But its a spectacular collection of tunes... if I dare say so myself. Anyway:

-Maïtena Marie Brigitte Doumenbach is  Marie Laforêt's (1939-2019) birthname. Sounding a little like Edit Piaf with an updated 60's sound, the swissborn (but of armenian origin), Paris based actress/singer/model Marie Laforet was never really a Ye-Ye girl. Some of her hits are typical Ye-Ye, but in general her style was too sophisticated, artsy, mature and not poppy enough to be a part of that scene.

The main reason I made my own Golden Hour of 25 songs chosen out of about 150, is (as always) that I've never came across one that felt pleasing to listen to all the way through. If you don't know this stunning lady or her stunning chansons yet, this might become your perfect summer soundtrack discovery. If you do know her I hope you approve of my selection -Moahaha 2012
