The Wednesday Canon: DANCE DOUBLE HEADER!

[freakytigger.livejournal.com]

A special double edition of the Wednesday Canon spotlighting those two titans of what top dance journo Ronan calls "album dance" - Basement Jaxx, and the Chemical Bros. Both blokey duos, both shifting plenty of units to the non clubbing inclined, both with a penchant for using guest vocalists from the worlds of pop, rap and Nindie. Let us see which of their hits rate, and which are RANK. You get FIVE per artist.

Have you heard the Tiefschwarz rmx of 'Teary Eyed'? It does exactly that, it's the most maximalist dance thing I've heard this year though it is maybe...smoother, sleeker than Jaxx.

When I interviewed the Jaxx a couple of years ago they said they were going to focus on production work, er, I guess they were speaking the truth.
