British DJ Paul Oakenfold will drop his debut album of original material, Bunkka, on June 18th. The star-studded album features guest vocalists Nelly Furtado, Perry Farrell, Ice Cube, Grant Lee Phillips, Tricky, Crazy Town's Shifty Shellshock and even author Hunter S. Thompson.

"It's definitely not a dance record," Oakenfold told Rolling Stone last summer. "I'm collaborating with people because I can't sing. Believe me, you don't want to hear me sing."

Bunkka's first single is "Ready Steady Go," which features guest vocals from So Solid Crew's Asher D, recently sentenced on weapons charges in a London court.

The track listing for Bunkka:

"Ready Steady Go" (featuring Asher D)
"Southern Sun" (featuring Carla Werner)
"Time of Your Life" (featuring Perry Farrell)
"Hypnotised" (featuring Tiff Lacey)
"Zoo York"
"Nixon's Spirit" (featuring Hunter S. Thompson)
"Hold Your Hand" (featuring Emiliana Torrini)
"Starry Eyed Surprise" (featuring Shifty Shellshock)
"Get Em Up" (featuring Ice Cube)
"Motion" (featuring Grant Lee Phillips)
