Basement Jaxx: Perform A New Dance

Basement Jaxx perform a UK Dance, before 10 years their five album release which label XL has now expired, between releasing label after a string of famous including Where's Your Head At and Red Alert.
50 per sent of Basement Jaxx, Simon Ratcliffe said, "In this climate, especially with someone who has been around as long as we have, it seems pointless to sign us. All those things are irrelevant these days. If we did a body of music I don't know if we'd do it through an album, we'd probably just do it ourselves. We're definitely into another phase of Basement Jaxx."

He also said, "The plot sees aliens invade a rough area of London, these teenagers are up to no good, they end up in a battle with the aliens. It's meant to be comedy sci-fi horror".

According to the news , They've already started writing incidental music on remind, Ratcliffe says, "Were not used to working in such a disciplined, high-pressure way. It's a very different process for us. We're keeping up with it, but there's no messing around. They'll come in and go 'We need a minute and a half of tension now!'."

Now Basement Jaxx are change after return an album tour for the past decade, Ratcliffe says, "We decided it was time to take a break. We were on tour relentlessly until February, both of us wanted to get our feet back on our ground. We had a break, we've been DJing, I've had more time to spend with my daughter and my family, Felix is off on adventures searching for the love of his life. The film thing has been good as a focal point. Neither of us feels like doing an album, it feels irrelevant at the moment. Doing this and DJing, it's fun."

Buxton's aim that he has funded to previous year Basement Jaxx's songs, he is working with the Dutch government, Ratcliffe is also working on a rock project that mixes Flying Lotus, Frank Zappa and Battles. He says, "It's been a year where I've been able to indulge myself. It gave me something to aim for. I was bloated and out of shape, swimming is the only thing I've ever remotely been able to do. Once I committed I had to really start pushing myself, lots of outdoor training. Over three or four months, I was swimming three miles a few times a week. But I'd never swum in the sea. There's such movement in the sea. Once you've got the momentum it becomes a bit like walking, you can just keep going. But in the sea I was worried about jellyfish. It was very unlikely, I've never been sporty or an adventurer. I felt like such a plonker in a wetsuit, it's not me. That was a personal achievement."
