We're about midway through the Festival of Lights and this is our first free strictly Hanukkah entry (if you missed it, we did have a Hanukkah track from Mary Carves The Chicken early on). This album of remixes was put together by Tablet, an on-line magazine celebrating Jewish life and culture. They contacted the chosen people of another distinct and misunderstood culture--remixers--and asked them if they would be interested in deconstructing and reconstructing the music of Hanukkah (or, in the alternative, festive music of other Jewish celebrations). The response was an overwhelming "Hell, yeah!". The art of remixing is to take an original work and shape it into something completely new without destroying the integrity of the original. And, here, Tablet's Marc Weidenbaum has assembled some great ones, from the bouncy "Chanukah Chag Yafe" from ocp to the reverent ambient pop of "Maoz Tzur" from Mark Rushton.
