Merry DMX-mas!

During a recent appearance on New York’s Power 105.1FM, Ruff Ryder captain DMX was sweet-talked into singing a beloved Christmas carol. Well, his enthusiasm for “Rudolph The Red-nosed Reindeer” seems to not require much cajoling.

What does a DJ wish for this holiday? Headphones, records, turntables, and studio gear, of course. But also fire pits, comic books and zombie survival kits. Check out what D-Mac, Nitekrawler, Atticus, Jayclue, Rusty B., Meistro, Stylus, Stereo Faith, Micah Vellian, and Ange want to unwrap in December.

One of jazz organist Don Patterson’s best and rarest albums is a collection of traditional Christmas tunes called Holiday Soul (Prestige 7315 (mono) & 7415 (stereo)). I’ve digitized it—crackles and pops intact—and made it available for you and yours to enjoy!

Stay two funky steps ahead of the usual Peggy Lee and Vince Guaraldi holiday fare you’re bombarded with at Starbucks with this bag of audio treats.
A playlist of jazz, soul, surf, funk & pop hand-selected by DJ D-Mac for Daily Candy.
