This one's an odyssey into the borderlands between disco, house and real old-fashioned soul. Heavy on organic sounds, drenched with good feelings, it's warmer and fuzzier than a Christmas sweater - the ideal soundtrack for holiday gatherings whether you're snowed in or at the beach.
It features new cuts from DJ Rahaan's Street Edits, Todd Terje and my boys Tête de la Course, Muffin Man (Steven Garcia) and Dj Ino (repping Republic Music); loopy '90s classics from DJ Sneak, DJ Duke and Glenn Underground; some choice edits; and a big helping of proper rhythm and blues from the likes of Bill Withers, Sister Sledge and Roy Ayers. Naturally Nile Rodgers smiles over the whole thing like the spirit of Christmas.
Tracklist:
1. Bruce Ivory – “Clap to Your Hands” [Street Edits]
2. The Detroit Emeralds – “You’re Getting a Little Too Smart” (Daniel Stefanik Edit)
3. Bruce Ivory – “Harlem” [Street Edits]
