Basement Jaxx

Basement Jaxx , the UK's very own house music duo, made up of Felix Buxton and Simon Ratcliffe, first rose to popularity in the late 1990s. Originating in Brixton, South London in 1994, they held a regular club night called Rooty, which would later become the name of their second album. In 1999, the group released their first full length album, Remedy, to critical acclaim and includes the tracks "Red Alert", "Rendez Vu", "Jump N' Shout", and "Bingo Bango". Basement Jaxx also released Jaxx Unreleased, a compilation of b-sides, remixes, and other assorted material, in 1999. Remedy was a hit with the critics, and 2 additional highly acclaimed albums have followed since then, including 2001's Rooty and 2003's Kish Kash. Still not entirely mainstream, the group is well known in clubs the world over, and is savvy enough that a true breakthrough hit is simply a matter of time. The groups most recent offering the 2005 compilation set featured a number of new tracks, including the single "Oh My Gosh". Basement Jaxx wrapped up the first night of the Wireless festival in London recently, with a spectacular stageshow. The dance duo brought on a full live backing band and staged a special laser show for their headlining performance at Hyde Park. In between a set laced with a host of their hit singles, the band debuted a series of new tracks from their forthcoming album. During the performance the pair also took time to throw in a remix of Kings Of Leon's Number One hit 'Sex On Fire' and they played a few bars of The White Stripes' 'Seven Nation Army'. There aren't many DJs who can create this kind of atmosphere, but with their mixture of classic hits and tongue-in-cheek pantomime, Basement Jaxx still do it better than most.The boys are coming to the amazing o2 arena this December for this "ONCE IN A LIFETIME" performance.
