Hello fellows of festiveness,

What a lovely year it's been. Austerity has been all the rage, strikers on the streets, the world teetering on the edge of financial crisis - oh sorry, that's not all that good is it?

Anyhow, notwithstanding the waxing and waning of the world's woes - there are still some things in life you can rely on...

Lo! The 2011 aural missive has descended from the heavens!

Sad to report, even this stalwart of the season has been affected by the earthly imperative for cutbacks. However, while we may be smaller this year, we are still perfectly formed.

Either listen in the player or click the 'download' link underneath...

Merry Christmas!

Yulephoria - 2010 Xmas Mix

<insert numerous festive puns here>

Lapleaks

Christmas is a mix of the sublime and the ridiculous, and this Christmas mix has both in measures larger than your teatime port.

As usual, I'm leaving the contents to be a pleasant(ish) surprise. No tracklisting here, but if you want to leave any guesses, comments or complaints then please do so below.

DOWNLOAD YULEPHORIA: 2010 XMAS MIX

This is the third Xmix I've done, you can get Xmas Rush (2009) here and Operation Christmas (2008) here. Enjoy!

Hope you have a very Happy Christmas and a Peaceful New Year :-)

After a bit of prodding from peeps who enjoyed last year's effort, my second annual Christmas mix has been borne into in the world:

The Xmas Rush '09 (right-click to download)

...so called because its gestation was *much* shorter than last year's epic and, upon listening, you will feel a massive surge of *Yule*phoria.

There are no physical copies this year - download only baby - so click and be merry. It's your annual antidote to holiday humbug.

As usual, it's up to you to guess the tracks - if you recognise anything or want to cheer/boo the choices, feel free to leave your answers in the comments below (you can log in via Facebook if you like).

However, be warned: after last year's teaser, the 'droids duet is included in full...
