English electronic music duo Basement Jaxx will give a show April 30 at Pepper Club.

    Basement Jaxx consists of Felix Buxton and Simon Ratcliffe. The pair got their name from the regular nightclub they held in their hometown of Brixton. They first rose to popularity in the late 1990s. As the British Hit Singles & Albums book duly noted, “They surfaced from the underground house scene, are regular transatlantic club chart-toppers and won the BRIT Award for Best Dance Act in 2002 and 2004.”

    Basement Jaxx’s music has been described variously as house and big beat over the course of their career. In addition to their own work, Basement Jaxx have become in-demand remixers. Their more prominent works include remixes of “4 My People” by Missy “Misdemeanor” Elliott, “Everyman… Everywoman…” by Yoko Ono, “Like I Love You” by Justin Timberlake and “She Wants to Move” by N.E.R.D, which was included as a B-side on the follow-up single “Maybe.” They also collaborated with Janet Jackson on unreleased songs for her “Damita Jo” album. Sophie Ellis-Bextor as well as The Botz and Garold Marks have stated they are fans and would like to collaborate with Basement Jaxx in the future.

    The duo were invited to write an exclusive piece of music to accompany a work of art they admired in London’s Tate Modern museum, Karel Appel’s “Hip, Hip, Hoorah!” The work is not available for sale, but can be listened to online. In 2007, their track “Close Your Eyes,” sung by Linda Lewis, was featured in the Japanese CGI anime movie “Vexille.”
