Basement Jaxx Plans On Rare DJ Tour In The US

Basement Jaxx doesn’t come to the US enough, so we’re stoked to hear from Reuters that they are planning on coming to the States for a rare tour!

As previously mentioned, the DJ duo will be playing LA’s HARD Haunted Mansion show this fall. It looks like they’ll be starting from San Francisco, stopping in LA for Halloween, then going through cities such as Chicago, Toronto, and New York through the month of November.

This is a perfect way to support their upcoming “Pink Floyd-y and more ambeint-y” album, Scars, which is slated for release on October 6th via labels, Ultra Records and XL. The dance-floor gods will have a slew of friends helping them out on tour as well. So far, these friends include Yoko Oko, Kelis and Santigold.

Jaxx’s tours are known to be massive set-ups that liken to circus shows and involve up to 20 dancers and singers. They’ve gone all over the world hitting spots such as South America and Australia and will probably end up going to Europe again. Why are they coming to the States now?  Basement Jaxx member, Felix Buxton, simply explains: “If people like the music and really get into it, then we’ll probably come. If they don’t, we won’t.”
