Merry Christmas from DDS – Also Free Download!

Its the time of year again! We hope you’re having a stress free Christmas, winding down here at the DDS camp ready for 2014!

So we got asked to do a Christmas cover for BBC introducing, and we didn’t want to go with something too cheesy or seasonal (scrooges as we are) so we decided to record a version of a much loved christmas No.1. ‘Leonard Cohen’s Hallelujah’

Covered by many different artists in the past and a regular feature in the charts in past Christmas’

We went for a very different take/style than our original music so we hope you enjoy it, bit more minimalist than our usual stuff.

What better Christmas present could you ask for than to download it completely FREE!

Hallelujah
