dunno about parties. feel like I don't hear much of any Basement Jaxx on the radio tbh but much as I love "Fly Life" it didn't get a lot of play first time round

absolutely, not to derail but fly life is a classic on it's own to the point that half of the time people don't even attribute it to being basement jaxx vs just recognizing the song.

haven't heard Glamma Kid in aeons either

I definitely feel like Rooty was a defining album for people in their 30s in the US entertainment industry; tracks from that seem to pop up constantly (most recent totally lolworthy example being "Romeo" and "Do Your Thing" appearing on the same episode of "Dancing With The Stars")

A completely personal impression here but there's also a kind-of retrospective innocence to it and a lot of other pop that was released in 2001 but pre-9/11.

Seeing Bassment Jaxx DJ/perform Remedy in New York in 2000 was the moment for me. I liked Rooty okay, hated "Where's Your Head At?," and tuned out after that.

Though TBH I was definitely caught up in the event of Rooty--I cooled on it slowly.

I like that "Dracula"! I just watched the disco scene in Fright Night set to it--I should really get to work!

Automatic thread bump. This poll is closing tomorrow.

Definitely "Raindrops" - right up there with their best singles IMO.

"Oh My Gosh" is close enough to great I think. Resisted temptation to vote "Rendez-Vu"

and yet there are other options in the poll

Automatic thread bump. This poll's results are now in.

one year passes...

search fuction proved pointless, so i'm sorry if this is a re-post. but there's a new basement jaxx single that sounds uncannily like spice girls going marimba style/tropical flavoured house :

^^i'm thinking 'spice up your life'

rusty_allen, Wednesday, 17 April 2013 16:52 (eleven years ago) link

I don't really expect Basement Jaxx singles to be any better than 'passable' nowadays but that is SO BAD.

Matt DC, Wednesday, 17 April 2013 17:27 (eleven years ago) link

someone was all "todd terry mixes spice girls" but i'm thinking "what if current bjork was on dfa"

fauxmarc, Wednesday, 17 April 2013 18:32 (eleven years ago) link

Transglobal Underground remixing Shampoo more like.

Matt DC, Wednesday, 17 April 2013 18:45 (eleven years ago) link

The newer singles off Junto are great.

Psyched. I know I'm one of the few, but I thought Scars was solid and at least half of it was spectacular.
