a dutch x-mas party (light green vinyl)

various artists

‘A Dutch X-Mas Party’ serves up a surprising and festive menu for the alternative music lover. This unique Various Artists compilation of emerging Dutch artists ranges from electro-garage to schlagerpunk and minimalist sounds. “Nowadays, there are many young acts active in the Dutch underground scene that I find original and good. I enjoy their concerts, which usually take place in small clubs. Being a huge fan of Christmas music, I got the idea to ask a couple of my favorite young artists to record a contemporary Christmas song. They could do this with complete freedom.” “Dutch electro-garage duo De Delegatie chose to cover a song by Daniel Lohues (singer of Skik) and Herman Finkers from 2009. The choice of the Haarlem electro-wave band Dorpsstraat 3 goes even further back. In 1976, Dutch ‘volks’singer Andre Hazes had his very first hit with this Christmas song. The Amsterdam punky female trio Earwurms recorded a contemporary and adapted version of ‘Jingle Bells’. Schlager punk trio Yodel Queen also includes two women. They provide an impression of a flexitarian at the Christmas dinner. Both girl bands are appearing on vinyl for the first time. XA4 is Xavier Boot. He has already released an album on Philip Glass’s label and treats us here to minimal Christmas music. In contrast, there is the maximal danceable dark-electro from the Amsterdammer Raderkraft. He has already released a few records and is quite well-known abroad. On this record, Stippenlift, a one-man project from Amsterdam, has the most experience with Christmas music. Every year, he writes a new Dutch-language track, usually sad or melancholic in tone. This very danceable song sounds optimistic for his standards. Truus de Groot is a category of her own. She has been making music since the early eighties, in bands like Nasmak or Plus Instruments. She is still active and proves that you can still make urgent music after such a long time. She is an example for many young musicians. Her song is a variant of the music from the timeless Charlie Brown Christmas film.” — Oscar Smit. Oscar Smit (DJ Oscar) has been a fan and collector of, especially the latest, Christmas music since the 1980s. As a connoisseur, he is invited almost annually by the national Dutch radio. As a journalist, he writes for the Christmas blog Christmas A Go Go and music magazine OOR
