What happens when a Mexican from a thrash-metal band plays Super Nintendo with a Mexican who's in an avante-garde group and likes classical music? If you're lucky they decide to join forces and start a band.

Such is the fairytale story of the duo Plastilina Mosh. Three albums later, they're ready to release " All you need is Mosh," out in August. The album melds rock, electro, grind, and pop into one funked out disco ball - under eclectic titles including "Pervert Pop Song" or "Comeback Bitch." Our dancing shoes prefer the electronic lacings of "Arriba Dicembre," with its ring-tone beats, zaps, female whispers, and fuzzed-out synths. But what really sold us is mid-song, a deep male voice rolls off something seductive in Italian. The only two lines we catch are "Tutto Bene" and "Sexy," and that's enough for us to buy a plane ticket. The only question is Italy or Mexico.

The other track below "My Party" is pretty self-explanatory; it's a god-damn riotous party track- with serious Latin flair. Better than the macarena but just as fun and infectious- it's got rap and electro beats mixed with classic salsa beats and references to Paris Hilton. Priceless.
