Oh Em Eff Gee! Do we have some tasty treats for your this week? Yes we do. So let's not mess about, here we go.
First, let's get festive with the modestly-titled "World's Greatest Christmas Mixtape". DJ's Chris Read and Marc Hype get chopping, slicing, mixing and blending - not to create a wonderful chestnut stuffing, but instead the perfect eclectic Christmas mixtape.
Funk, soul, hip-hop, reggae and Latin flavours are all present and correct and the mixing is absolutely spot on.
The tracklist is massive, including James Brown, Run DMC, Elvis Presley, Dan The Automator, Blondie and Yuletide classics from the Jackson 5, Petula Clarke and Paul McCartney - all presented in a cut & paste stylee with skill and humour.

Next up something fierce, fresh, rock-steady and bass-heavy. Granted it's not very Christmassy, but if that's the effect you're going for, try hanging some holly off your balls whilst listening.
It's a brand new mix of glitch-hop and dubstep spun by William Breakspear, head honcho of the newborn Spanky Panky label.
We're expecting big tings from this label in 2010. It promises to provide much funky, mid-tempo, heavy bottom-end wickedness. Watch this space for news and free teaser MP3s.
And grab the mix here. No tracklist, but rest assured there are some mammoth tunes in there, nuff FX and lots of squonky goodness.
Some lush soulful vibes now, courtesy of DJ Hanif, on a downtempo tip.
Tracks from Spacek, Rollercone, King Britt and more,combined with plenty of moody vocal performances, lend this a smoked out, bumping atmosphere - like a 1960s soul club catapulted into the 21st Century. Or something.
Go here to get your groove on and check out Hanif's other mixes.
And finally for this week, something to recognise the massive impact the Warp label has made on the music scene over the last two decades.
That's right, it's been 20 years!
And by way of a celebration, DJ Flincha has put together a mixtape featuring plenty of Aphex Twin, Drexcia, Flying Lotus, LFO, Hudson Mohawke and heaps of other forward-thinking, boundary-busting beat-makers.
It's not downloadable, but you can listen here on this widgetty thing:
That's yer lot for this week, enjoy!
