Season’s Beatings ‘A Yuletide Odyssey’ – podcast special

Back in 2003, Mr Trick aired the excellent ‘Seasons’s Beatings’ mix as a Turntable Radio christmas treat. Put together by J Squared, Dave H and Hudson, the mix rightly received a lot of praise, and has become a bit of a classic since, for weaving together over an hour of the finest festive music from far and wide, providing the ultimate alternative soundtrack to the festive holidays.
In 2005 and 2006, the guys continued their work to spread the alternate festive spirit and released volumes 2 and 3, proving that there is a lot more ‘unusual’ xmas and festive music out there than you ever thought possible.
And so five years on, we’re very happy to say that the men behind Season’s Beatings have decided to make all three volumes available to download for one and all. Ironically, I was speaking to them at exactly the same time to do another special on the show for this year’s holiday season, so the timing couldn’t have been better to bring you this glorious series of festive mixes for you to enjoy before, during and after the christmas festivities.
If you’re on Facebook, make sure to check the related event page where you can show some love to the guys for their very kind presents and hard work. And if you actually like what you hear and would like to own a little piece of festive hip hop and musical history than you can still buy each volume on CD at very ridiculous prices, right here.
Massive thanks to J Squared, Dave H and Hudson for letting us air these. The 3 volumes will be going out over the next three days running up to xmas, one a day with no indent or additional anything, just as their creators and the Lord intented them to be heard.
These are our last podcasts of 2008, we’ll return in the new year for more of the same. Massive thanks to all the listeners, labels and artists who have supported Turntable Radio this year. And a massive thanks as well to the Turntable Radio extended family: Mr Trick, 2tall, Ed Rooth, Ken One, Naoki and everyone else I might have forgot! If you’re still feeling hungry after this, then don’t forget to check Rhythm Incursions’ festive offering, a 2008 best of mix.
See you all in 2009!
Peace
Laurent
