They've done it again!

Advantages: Lifts the mood wherever it's played
Disadvantages: None

For those who haven't heard of the Euphoria series of albums, you have seriously missed out. But don't worry as it's not too late. They just keep coming out with more and more. Apart from your classic house, Euphoria have gone all out and compiled Chilled, Progressive, Hard House and White Label to name just a few. But this one really sticks out with me. It really is fantastically mixed by Dave Pearce and he has gone out on the line up of tracks. ...
...tracks which were yet to be released. For example, 'Silence' by Delerium has been freshened up a treat with the Paul Van Dyk Dub Mix, bringing it bang up to date and by no means out of place on the album. Half way through disc one, Dave turns to a bit of hard house with Phatt B 'And Da Drum Machine' and the instant classic 'Phatt Bass' by Warp Brothers. But at no point does the mix escape from it's deserved name 'Transcendental'. Each track really ...

...tracks but you can't please everyone! Now I was quite surprised to get this in my stocking for Christmas, obviously somneone had been doing their homework. I've got pretty eclectic tastes, ranging from indie, 80's, and rock, to dance and trance, so it was quite a nice surprise as I'd had my eye on this for a while. Released in mid-October 2005, the Ultimate Experience boasts a jam-packed tracklist of some stonking tunes, as well as some which are ...

Christmas Rappin' (With Not Kurtis Blow)

Advantages: Lots of big tunes
Disadvantages: One average tune

...you tend to connect with Christmas time. **Four Stars** 3.“Dana Dane Is Coming To Town” - Dana Dane Here we get a funky jam that I really can't see any rooms for complaints in as we find that Dana Dane comes in with some storytelling rhymes that seem to take on all that Slick Rick was known for (even though he didn't debut as a solo artist until the year after this). He comes out with flows which have him telling a rather straight-forward tale that ...
...making good use of past Christmas song samples to help him as he does his thing. **Five Stars** 7.“He's Santa Claus” - Disco 4 Starting off with a little “Jingle Bells” (as just about ever other on this album up to this point) we see that we get a track that soon changes its direction as the cold beats come into effect and the rappers in the crew come to do their thing by all giving each other a chance to lay down their own stuff on the mic(rophone) ...

Review of Christmas Rap - Various Artists

8? So What Happened The The Other 4?

Advantages: Bangers throughout
Disadvantages: Nothing specific

Their second album of 2001, “8 Days of Christmas” followed “Survivor” as the fourth album from the R&B trio Destiny's Child. Using the line-up that the group worked with from the point when they reached mainstream popularity (with Beyonce Knowles, Kelly Rowland and Michelle Williams) it finds them bringing a Christmas-themed album containing mainly well-known festive tunes, as well as a couple of reworked ones and completely original songs. 1.“8 ...
...the album with the titular track to this release and the biggest single from the original version of the album (with a latter edition going on to include “Rudolph the Red-Nose Reindeer” a fresh re-make of “The 12 Days of Christmas” and fill it out with the types of things that they would actually want to have. It is a banger of a tune and the perfect way to start things off. **Five Stars** 2.“Winter Paradise” We find that the act are backed up by ...
