...hours, an hour, half an hour before show time, we dialled the Axis number. With half hope, half fear, we asked, "Hey man, you know the Basement Jaxx gig tonight? Is it cancelled?" Half hope because it was storming like a teledrama outside. And half fear because, we miss them now, and we miss the big bright bloomin' future of all house music for good. Armand would never have forgiven us. Neither would Thomas Bangalter, Jon Carter, Eric Morillo, Roger Sanchez, Danny Tenaglia, Pete Tong, Gilles Peterson, Ashley Beadle, Norman Jay or Phillippe Zdar. They've heard the boys...

...album and the song of last summer, Stardust's "Music Sounds better With You." It continued this year with Cassius's 1999, an excellent disco cut-up pastiche work, and I'm hoping for more quality Gallic crossovers. I also think the stunning new Armand van Helden and Basement Jaxx albums (2 Future 4 U and Remedy respectively), with their amazing singles ("You Don't Know Me" and "Red Alert"), signal that dance still has lots of promising avenues to explore.

The album's delectable pastiche of 4/4 beats, cut-up vocals and instruments, and funk-tinged deep bass (even the Foxy Brown theme gets sampled) creates some of the most massive tunes to hit the dancefloor, including the storming single "Cassius 99" with...

...state of the hot is indeed deplorable at present, Dorsey, Miller, Goodman, et al. are quite incapable of even the most juvenile attempts at the righteous stuff. The hope of jaxx is the new string, reed, and brass ensemble of Artie Shaw. He plays strictly out of this world stuff. It is RELAXED and SINCERE. And that's what jazz needs, relaxation and sincerity. Artie informs me by telegram that Louis Armstrong may soon add depth to the orchestra by taking the second chair in the trumpet section...
