Mixed Feelings Special | Shady Lady & Kay Tee - 'Christmix 2022'

We arrived in December, which means a month filled with festivities for many.

Steppin' members Shady Lady and Kay Tee both have a thing for Christmas-themed music and decided to join forces for a special Mixed Feelings.


“I used to dislike Christmas with passion for the longest time, until developing a now about 12-year-long tradition with friends that brought a bit more harmony into the holiday season. Christmas music grew on me with all of its bittersweetness & I became fascinated with its variety and the fact that it’s probably the only genre that we listen to at a particular time of the year exclusively. On top of that, my first deejay set ever was a Christmas gig, so when Bec asked me to record a Christmix together, I knew it was the right thing to do.” - Kay

“Being the Jewish Atheist that I am, I just love the novelty that is Christmas. It’s a holiday so tacky, so in your face, so Shady Lady. Every year for the last 3 years I’ve made my own Christmix as part of the Shady Lady Show, the goal being to prove to listeners that Michael Buble isn’t your only option. This holiday season I found out Kay had the same love for jingles that I did, so ignore the family tension and let your ears lax to our b2b Steppin’ Christmix.” - Bec
