Devlin, Darko and XXXChange, the producers behind Spank Rock, originally released Couche Tard as a limited promotional mix back in 2005 to promote the release of the first Spank Rock single Backyard Betty. Now the mix has been deservingly reissued to a wider audience with a dazzling synchronised video mix, that brings together video clips of the songs as well as an assortment of cartoon, kung fu b-boy and dance footage, from Caleb Bouchard who goes under the nom de plume ‘&/OR’.

While it may sound like some kind of Spank Rock endorsed slang for a hapless pussy hound, Couche Tard is apparently the name of the largest convenience store retailer in Canada and innocently translates from French as “goes to bed late”. And the mix more than delivers on its late-to-bed promise as it romps through the obvious Baltimore and hip hop beats, but the crew expand their palate to include girl groups, soul, funk, ska, new wave, crunk, electro and almost anything that takes their fancy. Even the French jazz shuffle of Belleville Rendez-vous, lifted from the Triplets of Belville soundtrack, gets a spin.

It’s a world with room for the Ying Yang Twins and Neil Diamond; for 2 Live Crew and Steely Dan; Masta Killa and Huey Lewis, but without resorting to the glorified mashup of a Girl Talk or even a 2ManyDJs mix. What makes the record such a great listen is the DJs’ ability to mix classic tracks and lesser known tunes with the dancefloor as the only guide.

The mix is divided into five sections, with each section finishing with a rendition of Louie Louie – from the new wave pop of Les Dantz & His Orchestra, to Toots and the Maytells reggae to Richard Berry’s original and even the Rice University Marching Band.

The mix never lags, but section three is notable for getting closest to the expected Spank Rock tape as Pase Rock, XXXchange and Amanda Blank all drop verses over stripped-back club beats.

While it’s perhaps unfair to highlight a single section, Section Five closes out the mix in fine fashion by taking us back to ‘those old records’ opening with Dion’s Runaround Sue before a double dose of the funkiest children’s songs ever recorded with Shirley Ellis rapping The Clapping Song and The Name Game. Sweet Soul Music, Neil Diamond’s Cherry Cherry and Violent Femmes’ Gone Daddy Gone follow with a bracket that only the sourest punters could fail to love. But the seamless mix from the Gloria Jones version of Tainted Love to Fine Young Cannibals Good Thing is pure gold before the mix wraps up with B-52’s classic Dance This Mess Around and Toots’ version of Louie Louie.
