The Cosmic Lounge presents Grime Music: 'U Can't Stop Me' by Basement Jaxx. "Basement Jaxx are a critically acclaimed English house music duo comprised of Felix Buxton and Simon Ratcliffe that rose to popularity in the late 1990s. Basement Jaxx started in Brixton, South London, UK in 1994, where they held a regular club night called Rooty, which would later become the name of their second artist album (Rooty). In addition to Rooty, their other albums include Kish Kash, Remedy, The Singles and Crazy Itch Radio. Kish Kash won the 2004 Grammy for best dance album and was their most critically acclaimed album for its innovative sound. They also won BRIT awards in 2002 and 2004, both for Best British Dance Act. In addition to their own work, Basement Jaxx have become in-demand remixers. Tracks such as 4 My People (which became a massive chart and club hit), Like I Love You and She Wants To Move have all had the Basement Jaxx remix treatment. In 2005, Basement Jaxx headlined the UK's Glastonbury festival as a replacement for Kylie Minogue. In 2006 they were support to Robbie Williams on Robbies "Close Encounters"-Tour. The production duo got their name from the location of the studio where they recorded their first EP - it was located in the basement of friends of Simon Ratcliffe. Recently the duo have written an exclusive piece of music to accompany a work of art they admired in the Tate Modern, who invited them to walk around the gallery and find a work of art that would inspire them to write a track. Karel Appellis Hip Hip Hoorah! ended up being the inspiring work. There are only two places in the world you can hear it - in the gallery or its official site." http://www.last.fm/music/Basement+Jaxx(Less)
