As it is almost Christmas I thought I’d better give you an early Christmas present and post a link to last year’s Christmas bootleg. In case you have forgotten, I did a quick and cheeky cut-up version of Nat King Cole’s fabulous “The Christmas Song” on last year’s Christmas podcast and it seemed to be enjoyed by a lot of you. It is one of my favourite yuletide songs and it reminds me of being young and getting all excited in the run up to Christmas.

It was a pretty simple bootleg that I did in Ableton Live so don’t expect anything too fancy! I looped up some samples from The Christmas Song and added some beats, sleigh bells (listen carefully and you’ll hear them) and a simple synth bassline. This years bootleg might be a bit more funky but first I’ve got to decide on which track to bastardise. Wham’s “Last Christmas” is a current favourite and Cliff Richard’s “Miseltoe and Wine” is a contender so get ready for some Christmas fun!

I should have posted it up for you earlier in the year (or at the end of last year) but I thought I’d give it to you now for a bit of festive fun for your office Christmas party. If anyone manages to get their boss to dance to it then I’d like to see photos!

I’ve had so much good feedback about this tune that I’m going to just have to let it loose to the public. It’s finally finished and mastered and, even though I do say so myself, it is sounding awesome! I played this mix out at the Loft Club in Germany at the weekend and it went down really well. People keep asking for it so you can download a nice 192 kbps by clicking on the link above.

I’d like to give big love to Bluethumb and all of the guys and girls on the Nelly Furtado official forums. He found my remix in my podcast and posted a link up to the site. They love the remix so that’s made me happy! If the Nelly Furtado fans like it then I must be doing something right. Thanks for all of their support and I hope I’ve done her justice.
