NEW YORK (Billboard) - Basement Jaxx, the British dance music duo accountable for some of the most infectious dance-floor-filling anthems of the past decade, will follow the release of its latest studio album with a series of rare North American DJ dates this fall.
The DJ tour will kick off October 30 in San Francisco and play the HAR Haunted Mansion party in Los Angeles on Halloween before heading to Toronto, Chicago and New York in early November.
"Scars," the group's fifth album, and first to be co-released by Ultra Records and XL, is set for release October 6.
Jaxx's Felix Buxton and Simon Ratcliffe draft a book of notable assistant for their latest project, among them Yoko Ono, Kelis and Santigold.
The duo also has recorded an as-yet-untitled set of "Pink Floyd-y, more ambient-y stuff," according to Buxton. "That's going to come out as like as not a mini LP afterwards," he said, "more for bath time music."
As for the band bringing its apocryphal massive, circus like live show which includes an ever-evolving crew of 20 or so singers and dancers back to the United States, Buxton remains noncommittal. "Up to now, we've been in South America and Australia, and then we're going to be in Japan and Korea, and then we're all around Europe this summer," he said. "If people like the music and actually get into it, then we'll by all appearance come. If they don't, we won't."
