Basement Jaxx

DJs Simon Ratcliffe and Felix Buxton started Basement Jaxx after hosting a popular club night in London during the 90s. They turned their attention to making their own music and released debut album Remedy in 1999. It was a huge success, with singles "Red Alert" and "Rendez-Vu" both reaching the Top 5 of the UK charts. Their second album was named Rooty after the club nights they used to run. It was another big success, with two more hit singles: "Romeo" hit No.6, and "Where's Your Head At?" got to No.9. The latter is possibly Basement Jaxx' most famous song, having been picked up my TV shows and adverts, and computer games. It was also accompanied by a popular video which showed monkeys wreaking havoc in a laboratory.

The singles released from their third album Kish Kash (2003) were not quite so successful in the charts, but the album was acclaimed nonetheless. Their fourth album, Crazy Itch Radio (2006), was met with mixed reviews.
