Trickster, the Austrian singer and entrepreneur from Linz, blends Christmas classics with his festive release, \u2018Silent Night vs Santa Claus Is Coming To Town\u2019.. Out now via Trickster Recordings through Absolute, the track has found serious support on social media, as well as more than 500K video views on YouTube. On top of all this, Trickster has received high praise from the King of Christmas Music himself, David Foster, who called Trickster a “breath of fresh air”. <\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

The outrageous music video for ‘Silent Night vs Santa Claus Is Coming To Town’, was filmed at the iconic Pinewood Studios in London, and the clip is drenched in 1940s style vintage glamour as some of the world\u2019s best dancers hit the floor to recreate the eye-popping festive energy of a New Orleans-style Christmas party. Created by a crew that has worked on ‘Lord of the Rings’, ‘Mission Impossible’, ‘Independence Day’ and many more, this is a true Christmas blockbuster, released in time as part of a full Christmas movie.
\u00a0
Produced by Richard Flack, best known for his work with Joe Strummer, and Florence and the Machine, as well as Trickster himself, the seasonal favourites were seamlessly fused at legendary London recording studios Angel and RAK, and mixed at Abbey Road. Produced by the legendary Guy Chambers, the lavishly created \u2018Silent Night vs Santa Claus Is Coming To Town\u2019 features the Grammy\u00ae Award-winning vocal group The Swingles, a stunning big band and string section arranged and orchestrated by the brilliant Callum Au.
\u00a0
Trickster\u2019s music speaks straight from the heart. A fluid talent, creating across Rock, Pop, Swing and Electro, he works in the best spaces, with the best people, to bring his work to life in the optimum way. \u2018Silent Night vs Santa Claus Is Coming To Town\u2019 follows hot on the heels of \u2018Still Kicking\u2019, which picked up airplay all over the world.
\u00a0
So this year, have yourself a Trickster Christmas: it will be a lot less predictable than usual, but it certainly won\u2019t be boring! Trickster is also delighted to announce that his debut album will follow in 2024. Make sure Trickster is on your Christmas List.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
