[edit] House?
Basement Jaxx is not House, or at least not exclusively House.
Dude, basement jaxx is house, what else could it be? And for the love of god don't say disco, Jrschro
[edit] Critism
Recent comments in the press by the Basement Jaxx have lead some believe that the group represents part of the decline of the dance/electronic scene. Ignoring the fact that Kraftwerk, the original Chicago House scene and techno scenes of Detroit all considered themselves "avantgarde" at one point, Basement Jaxx have made it clear that "progressive" or more artistic types are not welcome at their shows. This type of attitude as well as the hardening of incidental fracturalization shows that the dance/electronic scene of today bears little resemblance to the bold, adventurous, inclusive and openminded scene of earlier days. Today's dance scene looks more like the American Republican party or a frustrated soda pop company guarding shrinking market share.
Quite Complaining!!
[edit] Remixes
'They are rumoured to have been approached to remix "Hung up", the first single of Madonna's new album Confessions on a Dancefloor.' -- Did they? It's now four months later, surely now they either have or they haven't?
[edit] Missing EPs
there's a bunch of Jaxx EPs listed here: [1] Should they be added? I don't know the years, etc Macdougal 18:10, 28 April 2006 (UTC)
"do your thing" currently theme song for Telus tv commercial - Dec. 2006. "do your thing" also played in "CSI:Miami" one episode.
[edit] What are they currently doing?
"They are currently developing their next album, which is yet to be titled and will be released in early 2006."
...
"Basement Jaxx are currently on tour with Robbie Williams and will headline their own UK arena tour this winter."
Both? Recording the album while on tour with Robbie?
[edit] Mis-advertised?
I checked through the number one US dance singles, and i found no basement jaxx tracks listed. Is this a misprint on that article or the basement jaxx article? Joschro
[edit] Temporary list of singles/EPs
Since the gallery of singles/EPs was removed due to the images being unsourced, I have added a list in place of it. I suggest however this should only be temporary, and swapped back once the image sourcing issue is sorted. Cheers Starguitar 16:10, 5 April 2007 (UTC)
