From Brixton to Mount Olympus: The Legacy of Basement Jaxx
- Felix Buxton and Simon Ratcliffe started their journey in the underground club scene of Brixton, South London, in 1994.
- Much like the Muses provide the "Gospel Truth" through rhythm and soul, Basement Jaxx built their career on a foundation of gospel-infused house and Latin-inspired beats.
- Their 1999 debut album Remedy and 2001 follow-up Rooty changed the landscape of British music, eventually earning them two BRIT Awards for Best Dance Act. Interestingly, this isn't the duo's first brush with cinematic or theatrical vibes; they previously provided the soundtrack for the hit cult film Attack the Block.
