"Electric Gypsyland"
It seems like only Six Degrees would think to set loose techno producers on the music of Balkan gypsy performers; actually, Crammed Disc originally released the compilation "Electric Gypsyland", but Six Degrees has ponied up a North American release. It's a surprisingly tasty combination; the gypsy undercurrent leads to some great moods and the beats on hand are tight. Señor Coconut pops up on this album for no apparent reason, if you happen to be a Señor Coconut completist.
