\"Junto<\/a><\/h3>\n

Basement Jaxx are arguably the definitive dance act of the last decade. David Guetta may have been everywhere, but Jaxx’s exuberance has helped sweep the genre across the globe.<\/h3>\n

EDM has become standard in pop \u00d4\u00c7\u00f4 see David Guetta, RedOne, Daft Punk \u00d4\u00c7\u00f4 but since their last proper record \u00d4\u00c7\u00ffScars’ in 2009, Basement Jaxx have been pursuing other musical ventures. An orchestral collaboration with the Metropole Orkest, the quieter “soundscape album” \u00d4\u00c7\u00ffZephyr’ and endless touring later, Felix Buxton and Stephen Radcliffe’s newest effort encapsulates the jubilant and feel-good vibes that had formerly been synonymous with the band.<\/p>\n

Whilst \u00d4\u00c7\u00ffJunto’ is perhaps lacking in obvious pop hits such as \u00d4\u00c7\u00ffRaindrops’, it sees a return to the dance roots first heard on Remedy. \u252c\u00e1\u00d4\u00c7\u00ffPower to the People’ introduces the album’s joyous, empowering themes, which \u00d4\u00c7\u00ffSummer Dem’ continues.\u252c\u00e1 \u00d4\u00c7\u00ffWe are not alone’ and its infectiously sunny sound is probably responsible for the host of shows including London’s 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.<\/p>\n

Because after all, that’s probably what Basement Jaxx do best. They’re canned nostalgia, whether you’re on the Tube in Winter remembering the festival you went to a few months back, or simply replaying \u00d4\u00c7\u00ffWhere’s Your Head At’ and remembering your youth. \u00d4\u00c7\u00ffJunto’ certainly won’t reinvent dance music again, but it’ll definitely brighten up your day.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
