re-grooved christmas tunes

If you want to add a little extra funk to your festivities this season, I recommend this hip mix of holiday grooves.  One of my favs is Happy Holidays.

Here’s what they’re saying about it…"Dance music is all about the remix, and no genre is safe. As proof, San Francisco’s Six Degrees Records have loosed a ragtag band of DJs upon that venerable institution, the Christmas classic. As one might suspect, the kitsch/fun factor is off the charts. "Baby It’s Cold Outside," for instance, lounges comfortably beside any exotic, Les Baxter -style oddity, as Louis Armstrong’s crackly vocals meet a slow breakbeat snare drum. Meanwhile, Beef Wellington fashions a swinging beat around Crosby’s "Happy Holidays," and successfully mixes it with the song’s jaunty horn section.  Still, even if you believe some wax simply shouldn’t be tampered with, this collection offers a giddy abundance of holiday cheer." –Matthew Cooke
