Money hasn't changed M.I.A.'s murderous soul and she's still a musical terrorist. Nevertheless, she hasn't come up with the type of listenable songs she did on previous records, they are not that easy to listen to at all. That is undoubtedly the consequence of working with Rusko, Diplo or Blaqstarr as well as her never-ending struggle with the music industry. She has used samplers like Suicide to create a dark and violent record.
Hotsak Dantzan 2
Jimmy Bidaurreta
Jimmy Bidaurreta is a happy guy. To tell you the truth, he's always up for a laugh. He's established himself over the last few years with his Gasteiz Big Band and mixing work with Hotsak Dantzan. This time round he's stayed put with the back-catalogue of artists at the record co. in Soraluze. He's remixed Luis Mariano and popular folk songs. A record that will bring a smile to your face.

Die Antwoord
No messing with this South African band. They mix electronica and punk and they are as hard as nails. While the music industry busies itself focusing on single song Hype, this lot organise savage parties. Everybody will be buzzing about this lot shortly. This band will blow the industry apart.
Gone Down South
Gecko Turner
As he says himself, he's no Perro Flauta (New Age Crusty). The evidence can clearly be heard in the mixing of his new songs. That and, above all, his refusal to sit at home and write on his own, rather he has travelled and collaborated constantly these past few years. We haven't used the word singer-songwriter for a long time. Here's one for you.
