[DJ PROMOTE'S PERSONAL BLOG] My Christmas Collection is WEAK!

The other night at dinner I admitted to some friends that... "I suck at picking out Christmas music, my collection is weak!" They gave me some positive feedback but I reassured them, they did not want me djing their Christmas parties. I usually tell people the same thing when they ask me to dj their weddings. I never feel confident about what Im playing then I get nervous and its all downhill from there lol. This year I've also learned that Im not much of a Christmas enthusiasts as lets say... MY WIFE! She loves Christmas and everything that goes with it. Shopping with lots of people, baking cookies, decorations and yes especially Christmas music! So to get on my Christmas game I started looking for some "good" Christmas tunes.

My ears were open and eager for something other than The Chipmunks and Chestnuts Roasting on an Open Fire. I had heard a few Christmas hiop-hop albums but I really just wanted something nice and traditional sounding. Wasn't really sure what I wanted but I just knew my collection needed help! So, while shopping with my wife in Forever21 there it was... GOOD Christmas Music! (I know weird right?)

The very first song I heard was tribal drum sounding and almost moombah-ish (side note: Moombah is a new form of music where you slow down House music to sound like Reggaeton and it usually has a little bit of hip-hop element to it, carry on ->). After that, the next song had a similar "hippster" type feel (another word you should google). My cell service (AT&T) was tripping so I couldnt Shazam anything! (ok sorry last weird word - older generation readers, Shazam is an app that finds songs by hearing them, get it!).

When we got home that night my wife, a detective and google expert, helped me find exactly what we heard in the store. It was remixed Christmas music, and I really like alot! I guess they found a variety of remixers to help produce tracks and its actually pretty dope stuff. Ive downloaded both albums, part 1 & 2 and even noticed the homie Ohmega Watts is featured as a remixer. Sweet!

So in the joyous spirit of the traditional American Christmas I wanted to say, "Feliz Navidad" and here is some music that might help you with your Scroogeness and brighten up almost any light tour.
