"In a few words, Weathervane Recs started out as an archive of quarantined musicians, now being possibly one of the best fruits of this pandemic, and this compilation is proof of it."

Heart-warming words coming from A Cabine, as they place our fourth compilation "Ghosts Don't Sail These Shores" among their favourite releases of September.

___________________________________

The third Weathervane compilation of quarantined musicians is dedicated to the experimental side of dance music, exploring how the drive to dance can inform new ways of sound creation. Slipping through a closed door reserved to conventional and commodified dance music, experimental producers have found a way to find a unique voice and share it a growingly interested and open audience. With the impact of covid lockdown, one can only work towards seeing that work preserved and bloom again.

Weathervane is a project that started as a radio show on Threads Radio featuring Lisbon musicians opening up about their work and jamming with Oströl, the host. The aim is to facilitate openness in an industry where competitiveness and individuality are easy to recede into, instead promoting the sharing of ideas, methods and -ultimately - music.

These compilations are no different, and if openness was needed before lockdown, it is needed now more than ever.
