Nowadays, there are many young acts active in the Dutch underground scene that I find original and good. I enjoy their concerts, which usually take place in small clubs. Being a huge fan of Christmas music, I got the idea to ask a couple of my favorite young artists to record a contemporary Christmas song. They could do this with complete freedom. Dutch electro-garage duo De Delegatie chose to cover a song by Daniel Lohues (singer of Skik) and Herman Finkers from 2009. The choice of the Haarlem electro-wave band Dorpsstraat 3 goes even further back. In 1976, Dutch ‘volks’singer Andre Hazes had his very first hit with this Christmas song.
