Chances
are, if you've been anywhere near a dancefloor in the last few
years you've heard and adored Basement Jaxx. Their meteoric debut
Remedy was hailed as one of the most important records of the
'90s, winning props from press, fans and club luminaries Danny
Tenaglia, Armand van Helden and Daft Punk.
Now, after
three #1 club hits and massive critical acclaim, the duo of Felix
Buxton and Simon Ratcliffe return with their sophomore release,
Rooty. Named after the underground parties the pair have been
throwing in a down-at-heel Irish pub in (where else) Brixton London,
Rooty is a masterpiece of state-of-the-art dance music eclecticism.
The album mixes classic house with generous lashings of punk,
funk, R&B, jazz, hip hop, 2-step and pop songcraft in a mad
genre crash that works like a charm. A joyous jumpin' ride, Rooty
is underground music with universal appeal, an album of soul and
innovation sure to be thumpin' n' bumpin' from club bassbins and
car stereos all summer long. Check it out, and we think you'll
agree: it's time to get Rooty.
Following the
widespread acclaim and international succes of 1999's REMEDY,

Named after the underground parties the pair have been throwing
in a down-at-heel Irish pub in (where else) Brixton, ROOTY mixes
