Basement Jaxx are an English electronic music duo consisting of Felix Buxton (born 30 April 1973) and Simon Ratcliffe (born 28 November 1972). The pair got their name from the regular club night they held in Brixton, London, UK.[3] They first rose to popularity in the underground house scene of the mid-1990s,[4] but would go on to find international chart success and win Best Dance Act at both the 2002 and 2004 BRIT Awards.[5] Their most successful singles are "Red Alert", "Rendez-Vu", "Romeo", and "Where's Your Head At".
