Already a well-established DJ to the stars, Mark Ronson has also proved himself to be one of the most compelling producers working today, unafraid to mix multiple genres, bringing together hip-hop, rock, funk, pop, and retro soul. Perhaps best known for his GRAMMY-winning work with UK songstress Amy Winehouse, he has also recorded extensively with MCs Saigon, Rhymefest, and Wale, among many others. On his third solo album, he adds a distinct \'80s vibe to the mix, with lots of big synth lines running throughout the punchy drums and jangling guitars, while the jaw-dropping guest list includes old- school icons Boy George (\"Somebody to Love Me\") and Simon LeBon (\"Record Collection\"), crooner extraordinaire D\'Angelo (\"Glass Mountain Trust\"), and Q-Tip on the single \"Bang Bang Bang.\" Relentlessly upbeat, unpredictable, and easy to like, this is ideal 21st-century party music. Other features come from Ghostface, Spank Rock, Kyle Falconer, and the London Gay Men\'s Chorus.
