Here I am back with yet another Christmas compilation - to be precise this is my fourth Christmas compilation after 2007, '08 and '11. I can't actually remember how this Christmas Compilation thing started - but my mom & sister keep asking me for a new compilation every year. So consider yourself lucky - because I am again sharing 24 fresh, funky & groovy seasonal greetings with you! As always - a little bit of everything: Reggae, Soul, Funk, Indie, Blues - and lots of Disco this year! Setting the vibe with a nice intro I 'stole' from Blondie & Freddie's Yuletide Throwdown. And after that DJ Catalist sets the Dancefloor Christmas Tree on fire with his heavyweight Christmas Dancefloor edit of James Brown's Soulful Christmas. As I can see everybody grooving & dancing - I will sneak out of this post - but not before wishing everyone a Merry Christmas! Stay healthy, positive & have a good time with family & friends! And keep the good vibe alive :)

Enjoy! DubMe
