For underground hip hop producer Dan The Automator and prominent house DJ/producer Scott Hardkiss, it couldn’t have been easy to flip Duke Ellington’s (jazz legend) and Dean Martin’s (croon-master) version of “Jingle Bells.” The result is pleasing, though, presenting the 1857 classic with head-bobbing hip-hop vibes.

Shh… This Is A Library recently dropped their second LP, Dream Big, an eleven-track satiation of rich and experimental soundscapes led by Brent Wolczynski’s veering vocals and acoustic guitar. Limited to 200 hand-crafted copies by Alison Rose, I suggest you purchase a CD before it’s too late. Below you can download my favorite track, “Okay With Okay,” a taste of the album’s charm and splendor with Wavves-like distortion.
