STRAWBERRY STATION - CHRISTMAS PRESENT EP

12/7/2018

England's purveyors of Future Funk, Strawberry Station are into sampling and Synthwave, providing a bit of a merry beat that may be a bit too deconstructed, at times, for my taste. Overall, though, I quite liked it. It was cheery and Christmasy and you can definitely dance to it. My favorite track was probably the brief opener "I'm Dreaming of A Funky Christmas", which is very 70s, 80s and 90s all rolled into one. "The Gift" (which is a reworked "Christmas Wrapping") is also quite winning. I'm a little less enthoused by "Macross Roasting on an Open Fibre". This one's name-your-price at Bandcamp.

DUNPROOFIN - XMAS SHOPPERS' PARADISE

12/18/2016

And the lord said unto him, "Go forth and make a joyous noise.... A very loud, occasionally dischordant noise." And so he did. And so it was.

Indie Punkers Carter USM did this tune back in 1990 or '91 and it's been out of the mix for too long.

Andy Dunproofin is a DJ and master of remixes and MashUps. Or, in his own words. "Bootlegs / Remixes & General Disasters .... actually mostly general disasters. Occasional DJ. Looking for remix work and the like. General disasters assured."

"Xmas Shoppers' Paradise" is a glorious sound all about the true meaning of Christmas....the transerance of wealth from the middle class to the rich--sending us all to hell and making us look forward to the trip. And Dunproofin' offers up a fine Chip Hop Punk Rock Noise Pop version that really captures the spirit of the thing.

We’ve got Cabbage Patch orphans from Sylvanian Famllies
Carpets. Linoleum, holy petroleum,
Chemi-kaze killers, little Hitlers and Napoleans
Ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls
The big shop is open and the world
Is wonderful

Andy does fail one major Christmas test, however. The song is a free download via Soundcloud. Now, that's not the true spirit of Christmas. How can it be if no money changes hands? Oh, well, might as well pick it up and put it in the shopping cart. I'm sure someone will be along with a hand out any second, now.
