Album: Record Collection by Mark Ronson & The Business Intl (2010)
Genre: Pop | Style: Electronic
Format: Album

Description: 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”. 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.

Music Scene: Part of the London, England music scene. Emerged in the contemporary era. Associated with Pop movement. Known for Electronic style.
