FROM small back-room house producers to globe-trotting live act, it's the 15 tracks contained in this singles collection that have pushed Basement Jaxx firmly into the mainstream.
It's easy to see why: hideously catchy beats, fantastic vocals and faultless production - all the way from the brilliant Euro 2004-grabbed theme Good Luck to the bubblegum pop of Oh My Gosh.
The Singles is an A-Z of everything that's been good about dance music in the last six years - even though this group flew below the radar for much of that time. These tunes may sometimes be cheesy, they may even be a little bit chav, but there's no doubting their brilliance. Basement Jaxx have been prolific, they've been glorious. They are the perfect way to start the weekend.
