THIS IS SPANK ROCK/VOILÀ

Your latest favourite booty buccaneers, Baltimore's Spank Rock, return after last month's "Put That Pussy On Me" with a kaleidoscopic and eminently musical party mixtape put together by the Spank Rock producer xxxchange and live DJ Chris Rockswell. As well as featuring shedloads of material from their forthcoming Big Dada album, it runs through everything from Baltimore House to Hendrix, throwing in giant lumps of soul, suzanne vega and rrrrrrrare grrrrooves. It's a delight and well worth purchasing. [From publicity]. Juxtaposing London grime, Jamaican dancehall, Brazilian baile funk, and Baltimore bass sounds on her smashing debut, Arular, M.I.A. eludes the pigeonholing necessary for a neatly aligned marketing push.
