Christmas

CHRIS READ & MARC HYPE present… 
THE WORLD’S GREATEST CHRISTMAS MIXTAPE 

The self styled ‘Mixtape Champion of the World’, Chris Read joins forces with MPM Recording Artist and 2 time ITF Champion Marc Hype to present what they’re humbly calling ‘The World’s Greatest Christmas Mixtape’; 

These two seasoned DJs and record collectors have produced two mixes which take in everything that Christmas music has to offer, from Funk, Soul, Jazz and Hip Hop to Children’s records, Reggae and Latin with a handful of better known Christmas classics thrown in for good measure. 

All intended to be taken in good humour and a dose of Christmas cheer, ‘The World’s Greatest Christmas Mixtape’ is the alternative soundtrack to Christmas. 

Chris Read is currently working on a new live / studio project anticipated for release in 2010. Marc Hype and Jim Dunloop’s Album ‘Stamp Out Reality’ on MPM records is in stores now. Both Chris Read and Marc Hype will tour extensively in 2010.

Merry Xmas!!!

Marc Hype - The World's 3rd Greatest Christmas Mixtape

This time last year Music of Substance's Chris Read and I got together to compile a mixtape of funky and unusual Christmas records that we modestly called the "World's Greatest Christmas Mixtape". For what started out as a bit of fun, the response was pretty incredible with thousands of downloads in just a week or so. We joked at the time that we had enough records left over to have done it twice so, with the Christmas season coming round again, we figured we'd go for it a second time. The result is what we're even less seriously calling the "World's Second Greatest Christmas Mixtape".As with volume 1, there's a mix of funk, soul, 80s hip hop, reggae, jazz and much more, all with that Christmas theme. Chris and I have done one half of the mix each which you'll find on our respective Mixcloud pages. 

Both parts of the mix and last year's mixes can be downloaded from

We hope you enjoy.MERRY CHRISTMAS!
