Dream Weapons present: PÉROLAS BARROCAS C90

Here / Here

or

And now for something completely different, its: The Best Baroque Mixtape In The World...Ever!*

Pérola Barrocas means irregular pearls – which is the original meaning behind the term Baroque. I skipped the obvious genius of the era Bach (+ Handel...and Purcell), focusing rather heavily on the «early music» sounds of the harpsichord, harp, strings, gloomy organ and quite a lot of viola da gamba-drones. Some songs and dances, a few furiously dynamic orchestral assaults but the allegros are largely outnumbered by the adagios.

Dream Weapons present: PSYCHOMAGIK C60

Psychomagik is a compilation of songs from various walks of life. Intended as nothing more than auditory pleasure and a travelogue around the world taking in the sights and sounds of elusive caves and temples. It's not dark as much as an uplifting melancholy which fits nicely under the umbrella of the occult or the hidden. A paradise of hidden delights.

Dream Weapons present: CULT WORSHIP SONGS C60

"The latest mix from Prabha Devi is a slower, more introverted mix. A collection of songs you can enjoy in private meditation but not really suited for being the soundtrack of a party unless its a valium or LSD affair. It's listening music for the loner, tonic for the vagabond, or companion songs for those on long train rides. Imagine sitting in a field with Ye-Ho-Wah disciples running around in white garments in the sunlight. This would be the soundtrack"

Dream Weapons present: ORIENT-TNEIRO c90

West mirroring east - east mirroring west - with musical influences going back and fourth featuring artist from both «worlds». There's an oriental jazz-vibe throughout but I've included everything from psychedelic ragarock-fusion or whatever-to slow 'n sensuous bellydance grooves. Unlike an Exotica-album your inner imagined landscapes won't be of the sea or the jungle, but the desert and the savannah.

Dream Weapons present: KASBAH GHOSTS c60

"Kasbah Ghosts is a slow-moving meditation that rises and falls like an inland lake, at times one for pondering, at times one for slipping into a cheery flashback of opiates or laudanum. From the slivers of electronica to the ranting of a madman it evokes a sense of yesteryear and hopefully will sooth the nausea of life. A dialect of grim worship!" -Prabha Devi

Dream Weapons recommends: Kyle Forester

My main man Kyle (Crystal Stilts/Woods/Get The People/Meatus Murder/The Ladybug Transistor/The Soft City/I Was A King/ etc etc etc) all around sweet guy whom I've have had the pleasure to share stage with a couple of times and sorted me out when I was a lost soul running around the streets of NY not knowing where I was, is finally releasing his debut solo album the 20th of this month and it makes me excited. Check it out!

If you are in the NY area you can catch the release the 18th here
And if you can't make it to the show, you could always pre-order the album here and get your hands on the limited vinyl edition. (250 copies)

Dream Weapons present: THE EXECUTIONER'S SONG c90

...and the road leads to nowhere – is the first line sung in «Blow Your Brains Out», the opening song. But after a handful of seductive folk/pop-tunes followed closely by various southeast-asian grooves and the likes, overlapped by some avant-weirdness & doom-laden baroque - this road has actually lead you to the guillotine (dripping with the memories of the people it had seen) of The Excecutioner's Song. 

I think of this mix like a road movie in music – a road-horror movie perhaps. Open, adventurous, dreamlike and surreal for the first parts of the trip but true to the genre it takes a darker turn and ends in (bloody) tragedy.

Dream Weapons Present: FUTURA PRIMITIVA c90

I thought this would end up as the less pretentious pulp-version of Antropocen (a former mix of mine). But aside from the coverart and my approach to writing this text, the actual music itself is most definitely in the same ballpark. These ninety minutes are equally packed with analogue electronics served on a bed of drum machines occasionally spiced up with a few minimalist tunes and soundscapes - among other things.

Dream Weapons Present: MURDEROUS GROOVES c120

In 2022 I reworked both of my early C120's, and removed thirty minutes of music from each. Making them an easier digestable - and just a better listening experience. Better sounding, better flow, better cover art and not too overlong... So I suggest you click on the link/cover underneath and check out that one instead:

-but you may disagree and the original is actually one of our most popular mixes ever, so the original is still available:

 

 

Jazz can be and mean a great many different things - spiritual, intellectual, political, relaxing, painful... you name it. Its also potentially full of suspense, tension, action and horror which is why jazz has been used to a great extent in film noir, thrillers, crime, giallo, cop-movies to name a few genres. I don't know why film-makers abandoned the perfect soundpalette to go along with moving images in favour of pompous orchestral scores and seemingly random pop-songs, but I know that they shouldn't have.

There's much greatness hidden in mostly obscure soundtracks and even more obscure production/library records - and from countless hours of excellence I've compiled 2x60 minutes of tunes in all kinds of moods, approaches and genres really, but still pretty much jazz in one way or another.

Reups

Mediafire has started to act up, so some of our mixes haven't been available for download lately. I've reuploaded the ones currently having issues and fixed the links in the original posts and the archive. We'll probably have to move everything from mediafire to something else at one point, but I still haven't found a good substitute. (zippyshare doesn't support https and mega has no stats etc etc, so suggestions for good hosts are welcome!)

New links:
MORNING DEW C90
EASTERN EMBROIDERIES C120 
MARTIAN SURGERY DERVISHES C90
ANTROPOCEN C90 
ANTISEPTICALLY CLEAN C90 
ELEPHANT HOTEL C60

Let us know if you have problems with other links, and we'll get on it asap.

All the best,
Sadhu Sadhu

Dream Weapons presents: FILLING THE INFINITE BETWEEN TWO SOULS C120 by DJ Hairy Krishna

"Ajay Saggar has been immersed in music since he was a baby. His Indian parents filled the house with Bollywood soundtracks from the 50s,60s and 70s. On moving to England in 1976 at the age of 11, Ajay was spoon fed punk rock by John Peel through his nightly radio show. He started buying records shortly afterwards and has never stopped. His musical palette has expanded vastly since then and music was and is his life.

He plays in the bands KING CHAMPION SOUNDS, and DEUTSCHE ASHRAM. He has worked as a sound engineer for bands like My Bloody Valentine, Dinosaur Jr., Mogwai, Sleater-Kinney, Godspeed You! Black Emperor, Aerial M, Mum, The For Carnation, Sebadoh, etc etc. Currently employed at the Paradiso in Amsterdam, music is everywhere!"

Dream Weapons present: HANUMAN'S FIRE TORCH C60

"Ravana tried to murder the captured Hanuman by setting him on fire with a fire-torch, dressed in Royal Siamese apparel. This mix is named after the incident, but any further resemblance stops here. It's basically a short journey through Jazz, World Music, Voodoo Tunes, French Soundtracks and the odd Gospel song thrown in to confuse and coerce the listener into just relaxing for a moment and giving in.

Nothing is to be gained, but hopefully nothing will be lost either."
