12 Days of Mixmas | J.Phlip

Four Calling Dirtybirds (and an exclusive mix full of vinyl rips).

As you're reading this, parents world 'round are rustling awake from a fitful sleep, fraught with anxiety about the fact that a bunch of glorified deer were scuffing up the shingling on the roof all night while a portly old creeper shimmied about the hallways doing weird things like watching the kids sleep and leaving gifts under a tree. Christmas is strange.

Jaded much? Yeah, we are. That considered, it's even more notable that we've been doing nothing but gush about J.Phlip all year long. We've run out of superlatives for the native Illinoisan as she surges up the Dirtybird ranks alongside labelmates Claude VonStroke and Justin Martin as essential players in a quintessentially West Coast house sound that has become a worldwide beacon for the stateside underground.

Rumor has it that J.Phlip locked herself in a room for 24 hours to populate this mix with nothing but vinyl rips. That level of attention to detail is readily evident as the house mix weaves through booty bass thematics laden with hip-hop samples and typically Dirtybirdy freakouts. Yeah, you might not have gotten that pony you always wanted this Christmas, but J.Phlip's contribution to 12 Days of Mixmas will have you tipsy and dutty wining with Grandma before you can say "keep the receipt."

Stay tuned tomorrow, when things'll get a whole lot shinier.
