Basement Jaxx are arguably the definitive dance act of the last decade. David Guetta may have been everywhere, but JaxxÔÇÖs exuberance has helped sweep the genre across the globe.

EDM has become standard in pop ÔÇô see David Guetta, RedOne, Daft Punk ÔÇô but since their last proper record ÔÇÿScarsÔÇÖ in 2009, Basement Jaxx have been pursuing other musical ventures. An orchestral collaboration with the Metropole Orkest, the quieter ÔÇ£soundscape albumÔÇØ ÔÇÿZephyrÔÇÖ and endless touring later, Felix Buxton and Stephen RadcliffeÔÇÖs newest effort encapsulates the jubilant and feel-good vibes that had formerly been synonymous with the band.

Whilst ÔÇÿJuntoÔÇÖ is perhaps lacking in obvious pop hits such as ÔÇÿRaindropsÔÇÖ, it sees a return to the dance roots first heard on Remedy. ┬áÔÇÿPower to the PeopleÔÇÖ introduces the albumÔÇÖs joyous, empowering themes, which ÔÇÿSummer DemÔÇÖ continues.┬á ÔÇÿWe are not aloneÔÇÖ and its infectiously sunny sound is probably responsible for the host of shows including LondonÔÇÖs Wireless Festival that they played over the summer. Furthermore, rain or shine their classics are still being played at nostalgic club nights across the country.

Because after all, thatÔÇÖs probably what Basement Jaxx do best. TheyÔÇÖre canned nostalgia, whether youÔÇÖre on the Tube in Winter remembering the festival you went to a few months back, or simply replaying ÔÇÿWhereÔÇÖs Your Head AtÔÇÖ and remembering your youth. ÔÇÿJuntoÔÇÖ certainly wonÔÇÖt reinvent dance music again, but itÔÇÖll definitely brighten up your day.
