Basement Jaxx : Plug It In
John Mulvey
The dance music crash of 2003 seemed to screw up the commercial prospects of Basement Jaxx's fantastic 'Kish Kash' album, even though it was far too chaotic and barmy to be so reductively categorised. Nevertheless, they continue to release dazzling singles from it, of which 'Plug It In' is the third. Glibly, 'Plug It In' sounds like a selection of great Jaxx tracks - from 'Rendez-Vu' to 'Where's Your Head At?' - played simultaneously, with JC Chasez (Justin Timberlake's old sparring partner in 'NSync) lisping dangerously over the top. In most hands, this would result in a shambles. But Basement Jaxx have a knack of orchestrating wreckage like few other producers, and this is a mighty record: brash, audacious, heroically over-excited.
JC!!! Over the top lisping indeed. :-)
