Bobby D?Ambrosio ?Voices of Christmas?
Mixed by Kenny Carpenter
Christmas is coming and Quantize has a 'lil Christmas gift for ya.
Christmas can be a nightmare for Soulful House DJs. How do we impart the spirit of Christmas without having to play terrible records and killing the vibe? Bobby D'Ambosio had the same thoughts and decided that would be a nice idea to give some of these Christmas songs a reboot but with a Soulful House vibe throughout. So, here it is: Quantize Recordings presents Bobby D'Ambrosio's "Voices Of Christmas" ? Mixed and Compiled by the legendary Kenny Carpenter and featuring a stunning array of talent.
This was a pretty difficult concept to get people's heads around, especially in the middle of June. However, we were thinking that in December DJ?s would need to provide some seasonal cheer without killing dance floors. We wanted to use some of the best-known Christmas Classics, produced by Bobby D?Ambrosio, and combine them with today's rhythms. This was no was no easy task. Utilizing the skills of our friend Kenny Carpenter, we were able to present this fun package with loads to of Christmas tracks to choose from. Virtually everyone will be able to find their own particular favorite. Make no mistake, the talent is top notch and there are some astounding Soulful and Gospel House performances throughout this collection.
For contemporary Soulful House fans - listen to the absolutely stunning "Do You Hear What I Hear". This is contemporary Soulful House music at the top of the game in any season. Check out "What Christmas Was Meant To Be" (including the special Jazz version bonus) and "Christmas Superhero" for brilliant slants on a traditional theme with exactly the right vibe! Likewise, we can hear that elements of "Carol Of The Bells" and THAT incredible sax on "Little Drummer Boy" will no doubt be creeping into everyone's mixes throughout December. And who will be the most imaginative DJ when it comes to "Oh Come All Ye Faithful"? It's that kind of package folks. There's pretty much something for everyone on here. This album will also prove useful for those of you who have Radio shows or Christmas podcasts.
A very merry Christmas from all of us at Quantize Recordings.
