"What would you call it?"

I'm having trouble pigeon-holing Basement Jaxx, can someone help me? I'm not the biggest fan of dance music. I quite like the Chemical Brothers and I can stomach Fatboy Jim, but I got 'Rooty' and it instantly became one of my favourite albums. But I don't think they are all about dance music. There's a quality there that lifts it above normal dance music and makes me want to start grooving. I think I shall call it 'alternative dance', but I don't know what makes it alternative. Someone out there must know what I mean. Good dance music, not that pop s***e.

And monkeys in their videos attacking and dominating humans.

i would class basement jaxx the same as the chemicals, prodigy, leftfield , underworld, orbital, fatboy slim..... i put them in the catogry *breaks* as the music is similar to house but broken up (not the same as breakbeat). this is my fav style of music, however im not too keen on the b.jaxx anymore. they have too many songs that r bit pop for my liking.

the best song they did was flylife (b4 they became famous).

I downloaded a Basement Jaxx song and it says the Genre is House.
