Encoded 192Kbps [Lame] mp3. Covers included.

Basement Jaxx is a critically acclaimed UK house music duo, comprising Felix Buxton and Simon Ratcliffe, that rose to popularity in the late 1990s. They started in Brixton, South London in 1994, where they held a regular club night called Rooty, which would later become the name of their second artist album.

The dust has barely settled from their recent The Singles retrospective but Basement Jaxx are back on the floor with their fourth studio album. Crazy Itch Radio, built around the concept of a radio station [complete with interludes and skits], begins with an absurdly dramatic intro before flowing into the contrastively slinky, feel-good single Hush Boy, a slick, mellow mash-up of styles that wouldn't be out of place on the duo's kaleidoscopic debut Remedy. Indeed, Crazy Itch unfolds with a fluidity and infectious joie-de-vivre not really seen since their first album. The ease with which tracks like banjo-house anthem Take Me Back To Your House and Hey You spill from the speakers in colourful floods of cinematic strings, Balkan folk references, house beats and rock guitars, pays testament to the duo's outstanding studio alchemy. Elsewhere on the album they make grime sound fun [Run 4 Cover], pay coruscating tribute to marijuana [Smoke Bubbles] and drop the odd slow number [Lights Go Down]. Immediate and vibrant, Crazy Itch... is Basement Jaxx at their sassy, life-affirming best.
