Merry Mixmas 4
21 December 2023
Merry Mixmas 4 isn't a new mix; consider it a rebranding. I posted it under a different name a few years back and it had barely any plays. The previous Mixmas mixes had quite a few thousand plays over various platforms over the years. Me being me, I've deleted and reposted them so many times now, I've lost track of the true numbers. Anyway, I'm on a mission to repost all my mixes over time, so figured the best place for this was in with my Merry Mixmas series so I could keep them all together.
This one is less of a mix, more of a selection and is mostly Christmas music that going by what I hear played, are tracks that are generally lesser known, though not all in that bracket. There's shades of Jazz, Funk, Soul, Country, Blues and Reggae in there. So, if you want something festive, without the Wham!, Mariah, and all the other tunes that get rinsed year after year, this might be for you.
The cover is another where I've made use of AI... it's not perfect but it is good fun!
