anyone have these kicking around? I swear I had the Wham “Last Christmas” Revenge Diana Dub file kicking around but cannot locate it for the life of me! Only get the chance to play this but once or twice a year :santa:

he flipped it again in 2017 - Someone To Rely On | Otherlover | Roar Groove

but I’m looking for the original Diana Dub version as found in this Rhonda promo vid. anyone have by chance? Redirecting...

Will have a look when I get home tomorrow. Might still have them on an old hard drive

That could have been on the soundtrack to an episode of Spaced. Really reminds me of Lemon Jelly or Mint Royale!

i’m mad at myself for not including this one early on:

it’s that time of year again. i just happened to be listening to this one and hey, all it takes is sleigh bells, right? that’s the bare minimum to make something “christmas-y”?

I’ll admit it has slight downer vibes, but still, it’s Boards of Canada so…

He finally did it! Finn’s xmas album is upon us, playing into a classic seam of seasonal schtick with the sort of instant club-ready charm, wall-to-wall hooks and bittersweet feels that the pivotal Manchester DJ/producer has made his name with since 2014, including a bunch of pals along for the ride. If The Other People Place and Kevin Saunderson made a xmas album… Inviting guests I. Jordan and Martyn Bootyspoon to gurn in the grotto, ‘No More Coal (A Christmas Dance Record)’ also features nuff chimes for the silly season, all set to mutant hybrids of Jersey house, deep speed garage, old skool’ardcore and big ol’ piano house vamps. To be fair you could get away with rinsing it out any time, but there’s a cockle-warming vibe that lends itself well to dancing-instead-of-putting-the-heating-on, or shaking off a motherland of turkey and sprouts around ye traditional box o’ celebrations. Finn’s longtime production spar I. Jordan helps make ‘Babybell’ a proper highlight with its carillon riff and cashmere Reese bass glyde brimming full of tingling synths, while Martyn Bootyspoon does his best Jamie Principle on ‘This Time of Year’. But our favourites have to be the happy-sad nostalgic 80’s synthpop melodrama ‘Wonderful Time’, the Todd Edwards-meets-Romance style sampler chops and spritz of ‘A Christmas House Track’ and his groggy beauty ‘Some Thing I Can Choose’. A xmas album that isn’t shit, cheers Finn.
