Hailing from London and recognised globally for anthems such as Where’s Your Head At, Good Luck, Red Alert, Romeo and many more, Basement Jaxx are known for their high-octane, breathtaking live performances. While many of their electronic contemporaries have looked to technology to make their gigs a compelling experience, Basement Jaxx have always embraced a maximalist approach, combining a dizzying and ever-growing array of singers, MCs, musicians and eventually whole troupes of dancers to turn any stage into a life-affirming cavorting carnival of music.

About Basement Jaxx
Basement Jaxx — the pioneering electronic duo of Felix Buxton and Simon Ratcliffe — have been at the forefront of dance music since emerging from London’s underground club scene in the mid-1990s. From their roots running raucous basement parties in Brixton, they quickly evolved into one of the most inventive and influential forces in house music, blending Latin rhythms, funk, garage, and soul into their own unmistakable sound.
Their catalogue includes the legendary singles “Red Alert,” “Rendez-Vu,” “Jump n’ Shout,” “Do Your Thing,” “Bingo Bango,” “Romeo,” “Where’s Your Head At,” and “Good Luck,” alongside a run of critically acclaimed albums. Their ground-breaking debut Remedy (1999) sold over a million copies and redefined electronic crossover music, while the double-platinum UK No.1 collection The Singles cemented their legacy. Across their career, they’ve earned two BRIT Awards, a GRAMMY, and global acclaim for their fearless approach to dance music and boundary-pushing production.
Equally renowned for their live shows, Basement Jaxx have taken their carnival-like performances to some of the world’s greatest stages — from The Hollywood Bowl in Los Angeles to headlining both the Pyramid Stage and The Other Stage at Glastonbury Festival. Their eclectic DJ sets have kept the party alive worldwide, with highlights in 2023 including a headline slot at Detroit’s Movement Festival, their long-running residency at Glitterbox Ibiza, and an unforgettable New Year’s Eve in Melbourne.
Looking ahead, 2025 marked the return of the full Basement Jaxx live experience. The duo launched this new chapter with a triumphant set at Coachella 2025, before embarking on a series of massive outdoor shows across the UK and Ireland— a reminder that Basement Jaxx remain as vital, joyous, and electrifying as ever, three decades into their career.
