#1441 Basement Jaxx - Junto

You know what I like about this album? Its unabashed confidence. These guys are way outside the height of their popularity and decidedly behind the curve. Dubstep's come and gone (?), a thousand slurred, dubbed, variations, the world's moved on without the Basement Jaxx and these guys don't give a fuck. They just keep making right agreeable electronica from a house foundation, doused in plenty of these-guys-are-white-? soul and hip hop touchstones, swerves into dnb and techno and whatever else, to say nothing of the gorgeous shimmering closer.

With all the scenesterism and trendchasing that seems all the more common in the hyperoconnected 2014, its nice to see some dudes just going out there and doing what they to best 4/5
