Xmas Mix Update: The Dream Scene


Research continues for the killer crimbo cuts for Sammyfax's Xmas Mix #4; there's even a playlist about it on that YouTube.

Alongside that list I have my own little one on iTunes, which is coming along nicely - talking of which, the new red iTunes icon continues to throw me, anyone else equally and inexplicably shook-up by this?

One artist that will definitely be making the cut this year, and at least once at that, is Javier Morales, whose The Dream Scene Christmas album is quickly becoming a firm favourite in the House of Fax.

Plus One Loo kindly put me on to his work after the rather special video for Sleigh Ride! did a thing on Reddit recently...

In the comments section of said video is a link to the album from which it comes. Sadly the ZIP seems busted but you can right-click and download most of the tracks including Jingle Bells [mp3 hot link], which is nailed on to feature in Xmas Mix #4.

If you like the idea of Ariel Pink, Beck and Darwin Deez having a holiblaze and recording a session, then you'll love this festive album.
