Disco Crash is the sixth studio album by French DJ Bob Sinclar, released on 20 February 2012 on Yellow Productions. It produced six singles: "Tik Tok" featuring Sean Paul; "Far l'amore" featuring Raffaella Carrà; "Me Not a Gangsta" featuring Mr Shammi and Colonel Reyel (a remix of the album track "Not Gangsta"); "Rock the Boat" featuring Pitbull, Dragonfly and Fatman Scoop; "Fuck with You" featuring Sophie Ellis-Bextor and Gilbere Forte; and "Groupie", a song included on the re-release.

Critical reception

Jon O'Brien of AllMusic wrote that while Sinclar is "no stranger to the idea of the odd hook-up", Disco Crash represented the "first time he's assembled such an esteemed array of guests on one record". O'Brien highlighted "Fuck with You", "Put Your Handz Up" and "Magic Fly", but felt that "far too often, Sinclar descends into the kind of brainless novelty territory that seems more suited to a holiday camp disco than the super-clubs of Ibiza". He concluded that the album "occasionally harks back to his earlier and more palatable DJ days, but on the whole, it's a formulaic bandwagon-jumping affair suggesting that Sinclar is now content to play the fool".
