It is the busiest time of year but it must be this way to bring joy to each other on the big day.The frantic searches for sellotape the debates over what to get for that one odd family member and the sweaty trips through shopping centres all become worth it, sat surrounded by tendrils of eagerly torn wrapping paper, revealed presents buried in Christmas confetti, families, friends and lovers all find themselves under the tree, either experiencing or re-experiencing that unrivalled sense of joy once felt as a child.
As we age we realise that it is not some jolly man and his magic elves that make these moments (spoiler) but the people we hold close around us, it is not about the parcels under the tree but the people that put them there.
‘You’re Christmas To Me‘ by Sam Ryder is all about celebrating the people that bring is that chirstmassy feeling of being home after a long time away, throughout the year. The souls that bring us peace or the party depending on what we need. A vociferous expression of euphoria this track boasts a colourful feeling, Ryders gravitational energy taking us to the tree whether we are still in that busy store or stuck working.
You’re the star up on the tree
You’re the only gift I need
And I’d use up all my wishes If it only made you see
What a special time of year Full of joy and festive cheer
Sam Ryder You’re Christmas To Me 2023
With some jazz influences, a classic keyboard and a booming bass Ryder takes us all out to the Christmas party. Christmas is about community, about compassion, looking after each other through both dark days and bright ones, and one this tune Ryder reminds us to appreciate those who perform this, including yourself.
The festive track actually features in Amazon Prime’s new original Christmas film, Your Christmas or Mine 2, but could it double as a Christmas miracle and reach number one? If not it is still a banger which best believe we will be wrapping our presents too for years to come.

Dual vocalists, Gabriel Stove and Justin Teale, share the lead microphone, each a collective voice, defining the charisma of a band connected through the sonic maelstrom. The ‘Et cetera, etc’ EP was recorded in its entirety on guitarist-saxophonist Adam Ridgway’s family farm in Edwardsville. Bassist Liam Smith and drummer Kye Cherry complete the 5-piece.
Through warbling saxophone solos and electronic ambience a spiritual yin and yang manifest to demonstrate the power of interconnected forces coming together, this philosophy drives the atmospheric energy of the band’s live shows.
Ward 52 by dust
The singles are improvised and innovative, an exposure of the skeletal routes of the conscious plane. Gentle synths swell, and ambient interludes, morph the self into everything else, a harmonic hand into a higher realm. dust eloquently energise, an audible sip into personal potential.
The band have described each track on the e.p:
“The singles taken from the EP -‘Joy ( Guilt )’, ‘Ward 52’ and ‘The Gutter’ illustrate et cetera, etc’ scollage-like nature, including Justin and Gabe’s trade of vocals. Alternator’s wailing saxophone gives an eerie and unexpected edge to the release, tension breaking, frustration easing, growing and firing back up again in time with the story of a broken down car, waiting for roadside assist ten hours from home. ‘False Narrative’ comparatively showcases our warmest melody yet, as a whole transposing the familiar yet introspective energy of King Krule, Aphex Twin.”
