Day 3: Three French Men

After winning over Ibiza again last Summer, celebrating their first ever Essential mix, and releasing a debut album titled Tour à Tour, we're sure Apollonia have been asking themselves what they could possibly do next to keep the streak going. The answer turned out to be pretty simple: Challenging everything we thought we knew about Christmas music with a 51 minute mix of wonky, slick house tunage that would make Bing Crosby crawl with discomfort and confusion.

This mix has that special quality of making you feel like you're smack dab in the middle of an Apollonia set, watching Dan Ghenacia, Dyed Soundorom, and Shonky go back to back to back ad nauseum as they swirl you into a haze of techy, housey, blissed-out oblivion. The trio pulled no punches with this one – it's as weird as ever and just bursting with pep.

The mischievous Frenchmen didn't even turn in a tracklist with this one, so we encourage you to just go with it and see where it takes you. It's Christmas Eve, after all, and you'll need something to drown out your mom's Michael Buble records.
