Basement Jaxx: The Singles (Colored Vinyl) Vinyl 2LP
Deluxe colored vinyl reissue! Basement Jaxx's biggest hits, with a few previously unreleased jams for good measure. Head straight to "Fly Life," their first big club hit. It's a monster and for some, their finest moment. Released in 1997, at the height of the filter-house craze, the track made their methodical filter contemporaries look just that. This track's druggy rush of frenetic horn stabs and ragga vocals sounds like a really good, coked up dj working the shit out of the crossover while a pounding minimal beat runs underneath. It's an unashamedly peak-hour track, but raw and funky at the same time - this track is absolutely devastating at the right time. "Where's Your Head At" is arguably the duo's biggest song, one that's reached Jock Jam status. Some of the others are probably less familiar to American listeners, but great none the less. There's the rock/soul influenced "Good Luck," the poppy vocal house track "Romeo" and the vocoded boogie of "Rendez Vu." An excellent way to play catch up or fill in some gaps in your crates.
- yellow & blue colored double vinyl pressing
- housed in gatefold jacket w/ printed inner sleeves
- limited edition
- original release year:Â 2005
- music label: XL Recordings 2014
