Acid Dance Of The Sugar Plum Fairy (Worthys Nut Crackin Rerub Up)
FREE DOWNLOAD

Anabatic Records founder and one of San Francisco’s most notable house producers Worthy comes to TMN just in time for the holidays with a bootylicious rework of an older tune, “Acid Dance of the Sugar Plum Fairy”. The moment Worthy’s addictive brand of bouncy house collides with the classical rhythms of The Nutcracker’s “Dance of the Sugar Plum Fairy” its hooks are sunken while the entire movement is blended out oh so smoothly, adding just the perfect amount of body jack to your step. “Acid Dance of the Sugar Plum Fairy” works well on multiple levels, both tapping into those childhood memories and your more sinister night life persona. Worthy bridges two completely different styles of dance music to create an original product, and it has most certainly paid off. With past releases on OWSLA, Discobelle and Dirtybird under his belt and upcoming live dates in some of the U.S.’ biggest and most enlightened dance communities to round out the year, we’re salivating like one of Pavlov’s German Shepperds to see what 2014 has in store. In keeping with the holiday spirit, Mr. Worthy is presenting this one as a free download for your listening pleasure or DJ sets, so go ahead and grab the digital copy above.

Ho Ho Ho’s get ratchet this holiday season and The Trap Dojo has got the Christmas beats to make ’em twerk. This special edition of the dojo is chock full of seasonal goodies from old faces and new friends. Our first track is a remix of The Ronettes version of “Sleigh Ride”, infused with a whole lot of footwork by Wheez-ie that will be sure to put a smile on your face. The same track gets another, much more hood treatment later in the list from Trill.iam. Next up is an absolutely massive “Carol of the Bells” remix from Terravita, substituting some horns for the traditional bells following an incredible drop. Borgore and Carnage team up for this short but sweet version of “Feliz Navidad”. While the number of stereotypical trap samples they throw into the one minute long track is almost comical, this song packs a punch that will give your subwoofer a workout. Another newcomer to the Dojo, Tall Kid throws a really nice trap beat over Mariah Carey‘s “All I Want For Christmas” letting her smooth vocals dominate the track. Next, a pair of Dojo regulars, Team Bayside High and Ookay both released a couple Christmas tracks each. My favorite has to be Team Bayside High’s remix of DMX singing “Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer” that they released before the original viral video had even 300 views. Next, Natekodi turns “White Christmas” into an 8-bit Trap tune sure to bring back memories of unwrapping your first video game system. The rest of the list is full of trapped out holiday classics (the Apashe track is actually glitch-hop but who cares) that will keep your head nodding while opening gifts and sipping spiked egg nog from a double cup. From everybody here at The Music Ninja we want to say Merry Christmas.
