Basement Jaxx

Basement Jaxx, the British electronic act, plays at The Piece Hall in Halifax on this visit to the town. Here is an overview of the band's background and the venue.

Basement Jaxx is an electronic act formed in London in 1994 around a duo who blend house, funk, garage and Latin rhythms. Their debut album, Remedy, appeared in 1999, and Rooty followed in 2001, the year of the single Where's Your Head At. Later albums include Kish Kash (2003) and Scars (2009), which show the project's continued use of dance-floor production alongside pop songwriting.

The group has been associated with the British dance scene since the late 1990s, and its records draw on a wide range of influences, from soul and disco to Latin percussion. The music is built for dancing, and the evening will suit listeners who enjoy house and electronic dance music in a live setting.

The Piece Hall is a historic cloth hall in the centre of Halifax, and it hosts concerts and shows throughout the year. Its position in the town makes it a well-known place for cultural outings in the area.
