Basement Jaxx (DJ Set)
Since starting life as underground producers and party promoters in 1995, putting out their first tracks on shrink wrapped vinyl and throwing hush-hush raves in abandoned South London pizza joints, Simon Ratcliffe and Felix Buxton, collectively known as Basement Jaxx, have taken the sound of London, SW9 to the world.
With album sales of more than 3 million under their belt including their legendary debut album “Remedy” and 2005’s double platinum UK No.1 collection “The Singles”, Basement Jaxx have also developed into a remarkable live act – an all out sensory assault featuring live musicians, an army of singers and dazzling visuals which has graced The Hollywood Bowl, Hyde Park in Central London and headlined both the Main Stage & The Other Stage at Glastonbury.
Alongside this, the Jaxx have consistently explored other musical avenues including a (then) unique album collaboration with the Netherland’s Metropole Orkest (“Basement Jaxx Vs. Metropole Orkest”) which had it’s UK live debut at the Barbican in London in 2011; the first Basement Jaxx movie score, for Joe Cornish’s “Attack The Block”; and 2014’s collaborative song project, “Power To The People”.
Basement Jaxx are double BRIT award winners and received a Grammy for their third album “Kish Kash” and continue to produce quality releases on their own label, Atlantic Jaxx Recordings.
An eclectic 2019 has seen them take their seminal orchestral project to the Sydney Opera House as part of an Australian tour, curate & mix the “elrow 2019” compilation (including two brand new songs), collaborate with Ukrainian Yodeller, Sofia Shkidchenko, on “Yodel Song”, write music for “The Rubbish World of Dave Spud”, a children’s TV show on ITV, and continue DJ’ing around the world, including their long-running Ibiza residency at “Glitterbox”, arguably the best night on the island.
