It's that time of year again... Merry Christmas to all the blog readers!

As a seasonal bonus, here are some Dubstep/UKG freebies that have put up by various producers... Skream has been a roll with his Freeizm EPs this year, and top off what's been an amazing year for both him and Magnetic Man, he's released a Freeizm LP, containing a selection of sought-after dubs.

Last but not least, legendary UK Garage and House producer Zed Bias has recently liberated a load of lost tracks after stumbling across the DAT tapes.

Zed Bias - 'LOST DATS ARCHIVE' volume 1 (Xmas Giveaway) by zedbias

In his words:

To celebrate a great year I've decided to share a selection of 20 Zed Bias and Phuturistix remixes, rare bootlegs and instrumentals from between 1998 and 2000. About 6 years ago I had lost a box of DAT tapes and randomly found them again this year... these DATs contain all my early recordings and here I've selected some cuts that are unavailable digitally anywhere and I've had them remastered so they are ready for bangin, in the car, in the club or on your ipod.... Enjoy!

Just had this warm and fun little festive EP to help ease the ever decreasing temperature around Chrome Mansions. It's from the Black Power Arrangers, what appears to be a collaboration between THEE Satisfaction and erm, other people. It's essentially a beats snippets album of the Madlib kind with a lush blend of jazz, Hip-hop and electronic beats but using Christmas classics for the large part and the spirit of Christmas for the rest. You can download / listen at Bandcamp and we've included a couple of choice cuts below.

Parker returns in full festive mode, taking on Bing Crosby's version of Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer and flipping it Drum & Bass style to turn your Christmas party into a proper seasonal rave up. Now all you need is someone to season the mulled wine with some extra spices and Black Friday won't seem quite so darkside.

But the Christmas chrome cheer doesn't stop there, iamxl give's us a B'more remix of a Hawaiian Christmas classic and our favourite twisted techno freaks Sicknote have chosen the seasonal sentiments in the Frog Song to spread their own brand of XXXmas loving. More of a cover than a remix, we're not so sure Macca would stand together with them on this DnB style flex, but then who really gives a f**k.

and incase you missed this one a week or so ago, here's another Cardiff / McCartney Christmas collabo for good measure...

It's that time again! Christmas tunes should be banned before December 1st, along with any mention of the festive season whatsoever. But we do love a good Santa singalong here at Chrome Mansions so expect a few from us this year, starting with this one... a twisted tech rehash of a classic Chrimbo track from our favourite still alive Beatle after Ringo by Underpass.

Just been discussing the lack of Christmas Grime tunes with Fuchsia Stiletto from the Camel Hoof Blog, can anybody school us to any we might have missed?

Have a Merry Chromed out Christmas people, we're gonna take a few days off to stuff our faces... hope you all get to do the same. Back before the New Year comes round.

(YSI) Mochipet - Jingle Crunk

I was slightly taken off guard whilst deejaying on Thursday when somebody came and asked me to play some Christmas music. I stared incredulously and adopted the tone which deejays save for those poor individuals who know no better and reminded her it wasn't Christmas. "But we're on our Christmas Party' she replied. Shit, then maybe it is Christmas... and to be fair it nearly is, but I still refused to acknowledge this fact until Daly City and Lowpro Lounge dropped 'Oh Shit It's Christmas', with a stocking full of fine Electronic artists such as Mochipet, J Tonal and Build 128.

Fair enough the same group of people who had already exhausted a list of demands from Britney through to 'anything old and dancey' might not have appreciated this stuff anyway, but it's certainly made me start to feel festive and might have saved the office Xmas do from my condescending head shaking replies to their requests... nah maybe not.

The Oh Shit, It's Christmas Album is up now on 1320records.com STS9's Record Label. All proceeds from this recording will be donated to The Non-Profit Association Conscious Alliance.

(YSI) James Christopher + Zaptap - Christmas 2012 (attack of the mechanical santas)
And if you're still not sure what to ask Santa for then you could do worse than Mochipet's Microphonepet Remixed EP. We've been bumping it hard here at Chrome Mansions. Especially the Starting Teeth Remix of Lazy Day and Boreta's Remix of Rambunktion.
