Gypsyphonic Disko is a tasty gumbo of rousing New Orleans hip hop, Mardi Gras bounce, Louisiana Klezmer, and Balkan music. DJ Quickie Mart and Ben Ellman of NOLA superstars Galactic put together this mix featuring the likes of Big Freedia, Juvenile, Lateef the Truthspeaker, and many other artists from the area. Volume 1 and the new Volume 2 are free for the download directly from Gypsyphonic Disko. (Thanks, Rick Farman!)

    (also, I second Balkan Beat Box, Gogol Bordello, and my personal faves : Firewater. Everything’s good, but try that first : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8xWEQOBsl9E)
