Anyone looking for a new bouncy Christmas anthem for 2018? No worries, Christian Crenshaw has you covered... The only Christmas song I'll be posting about this year, because it's actually dope. Free download below.
It's exactly 2 weeks until Christmas...so you know what that means...time to get your two step on to some festive funk of course. I'm a big fan of Tuxedo and they've certainly added their own flavour to Paul McCartney's somewhat cheesy but undeniably classic Christmas anthem here. Something tells me I'll be playing this out over the festive period and stepping from behind the decks and into the crowd with an alcoholic beverage in my hand and a smile on my face.
Cee-Lo with his own soulful version of one of my favourite Christmas songs, which is taken from his Christmas album 'Ceelo's Magic Moment' and is available (in the US) HERE.
Grime legend Wiley gives us an exclusive look into what life is like in the Cowie household over the festive season in his new single, 'Cheer Up, It's Christmas'. A heartfelt messge, a cool track and a free download.
Sick of the same old Christmas songs...? Well, A Very Busted Christmas: Season 2 is just for you. Following the success of their first Christmas album last Winter, Cold Busted are back with Volume 2, which is set for release on November 30th. The album is basically all the classic festive songs reinvented by the cream of the crop in Trip-Hop/Funk/Downtempo music - below are two of my favourite additions to the compilation. So cool, so fresh.
Michael Bublé is my guilty pleasure, and Christmas is my favourite time of the year, so posting a track off Michael Bublé's new Christmas album isn't so bad, right? Anyway, the simply titled Christmas will be available on October 24th, and is possibly the perfect present for all the Mum's out there. I'll definitely be getting it for mine, and listening to it with her over the festive season. Not long now...
My lovely mate Yasmin was 22 yesterday and out of the goodness of her heart she has put together a smooth R&B Christmas mix that everyone can enjoy over the festive season. Below you can hear/download the mix and after the jump you will find the tracklist and a few words from the lady herself. She has assured me that she will never neglect the DJing, which makes me happy, because she is still one of the best around and our musical taste is scarily similar. Merry Christmas.
Today’s my birthday, it’s also 4 days before Christmas, but where’s the fun unless we’re all getting presents?! So here’s my gift for you, a Christmas Mix full of 90’s R&B, don’t go making too many babies over the festive season now… ;) I included 22 tracks, one for every year of my life so far! So Happy Birthday to me and Merry Christmas to you!! Go forth & download!! Love, Yasmin x

KanYe has even got the time to release a Christmas song this year - featuring Cam’ron, Jim Jones, CyHi Da Prynce, Pusha T, Big Sean, Teyana Taylor & Musiq; this is one of the best Hip-Hop Christmas songs I’ve ever heard. He is on fire.
