about

As can be seen on www.digitalvomit.com/dih-and-friends, DIH and friends have since 2002 been producing a annual series of anti Christmas songs for people who really don’t like Christmas or have a very alternative viewpoint of the season in question.

The history quoting the notes on digitalvomit say ‘The origin behind the infamous series of DIH with friends at Christmas began back in 2002 when for a one off joke as a side project from his more official work in DIH, Andy N one year decided with the help of one or two friends decided to do in his words ‘ A Christmas album for those people who don’t really like Christmas’ where in the space of half an hour (as was the original plan) – Andy N and a few friends would murder, cripple and take the piss out of as many songs as they could.

However, as is the nature of the beast with this sort of thing things snowballed and by the time the second album came along, It had become officially a DIH project (with Andy N’s partners in DIH Keith Hicc and UK Dragon coming onboard) where they would between the three of them alongside with an ever increasing cast of friends play around with the myth of the Christmas in all kinds of ways, methods and ideas.

The music contained within this regular series of albums is varied and can vary from acoustic singer songwriter stuff to music that could appeal to fans of Aphex Twin, fans of the spoken word, re-imagining of carols and classic songs, mash-ups, ambient and drone epic masterpieces to throwing anything in the mix and seeing what they can get away with and generally is designed for people who like their music to challenge and make them think.

For reasons too long winded and boring to go into here, DIH took a break from the Christmas albums in 2012.

Following on from their 2015 comeback and the very well received 2016 album, here is 2017's latest annual mash up, mesh up and who knows what else.

DIH would like to thank all of their friends who produced tracks for the album this year and everybody who encouraged us to go and do another album for this year. We hope you enjoy it as much as we enjoyed putting this album together this year and couldn’t have made this album without your support.

Enjoy
