Basement Jaxx Artist Snapshot:

Felix Burton and Simon Ratcliffe started out as two British DJ's enamored of the sounds of '70s funk and '80s house. By the mid-'90s, the pair were turning heads with singles and remixes that used house as a starting point for innovative explorations of electronic dance music's possibilities, mixing it with garage, raga, dub, and more. With REMEDY, their first full-length, Basement Jaxx became a worldwide phenomenon, respected as part of electronica's upper echelon.

Magnet (8-9/99, p.68) - "...REMEDY is a potent...slice of high-speed urbanity set to a backbeat of dizzying, rhythmic uncertainty....They only remind you that the optimism is no longer in belief, but in surprise."

Melody Maker (5/8/99, p.44) - 4 1/2 stars (out of 5) - "...repeatedly, and durably, synthesises those notoriously unstable dance music elements; the dizzying dancefloor rush and the complex, long-lasting emotional hit....deft and obvoiously heartfelt....Truly great."

NME (Magazine) (5/8/99, p.41) - 9 out of 10 - "...as good a dance album...as anyone from [Britain] has produced in decades....It's a wonderful new frequency where house, ragga, techno, soul, funk...Jesus, flamenco are all mashed together and it feels like some kind of perfect moment..."

Title Note

Basement Jaxx: Felix Burton, Simon Ratcliffe (vocals, various instruments).

Additional personnel: Alma "The Soul" Duah, Slarta John, Blue James, Yvonne John-Lewis, Junior Sanchez, Patsi & Brett, DJ Sneak, Monday Michiru, DJ Gemini (vocals); Alexander Telnikoff (violin); Cassie Watson, Gwyn Jay Allen, Roland Clarke, Jorges & Nina (background vocals).

On REMEDY, Basement Jaxx do for house music what the Chemical Brothers did for techno. By utilizing infectious, accessible song structures and incorporating a sense of musical history, the group brings house to the masses without dumbing it down. In the larger sense, REMEDY can be seen as a thumbnail primer on electronic dance music. Everything from '70s-derived vocoder tricks to late-'80s club beats and hard-funk synth bass is used to cook up a varied, flavorful sonic stew. REMEDY's room-shaking grooves will find a place in the hearts of hardcore house heads as well as anyone with a taste for state-of-the-art dance music.
