Description
UK dance duo Basement Jaxx are responsible for iconic music videos and classic dancefloor tracks like ‘Where’s Your Head At’, ‘Red Alert’, ‘Good Luck’, ‘Romeo’ and ‘Do Your Thing’. Across seven studio albums—from 1999’s debut Remedy, to 2003’s Grammy-winning Kish Kash, and their latest, 2014’s Junto—they’ve always kept us guessing where their musical heads are at. Felix Buxton and Simon Ratcliffe have teamed up with guest vocalists like Dizzee Rascal, Yoko Ono, Siouxsie Sioux, Lisa Kekaula and in recent years worked with orchestras around the world to give their dance-floor bangers lush string arrangements. Basement Jaxx are in the country right now for a run of DJ sets, and Felix Buxton joins Caz Tran to plug into some of their biggest moments across their 30-year career (like the time they snuck Prince Harry onto a festival stage disguised in a monkey suit).
