Remedy

Brixton maximalism means too much of everything and no regrets about any of it. Basement Jaxx cram Latin, garage, ragga and pure pop into a debut that keeps throwing ideas before the last one has finished landing. Sometimes the mix borders on clutter. That is the whole case against it, and the clutter is half the joy.

The whole history of the genre crammed into one carnival, played too loud and with no restraint whatsoever. Felix and Simon treated house as a party rather than a lineage, which offended some people at the time and sounds like the correct decision now.
