With the release of their seventh studio album \u2018Junto\u2019 under their belts, dance music legends Basement Jaxx now announce a follow up musical project which comes in the form of a new and unique EP – \u2018Power To The People.fm World Peace EP\u2019 \u2013 which was released on World Peace Day September 21st.<\/p>\n

Praise for \u2018Junto\u2019 –<\/strong><\/p>\n

**** The Times<\/p>\n

\u201cJunto\u2019 is a textbook example of how dance music doesn\u2019t have to be cheesy or repetitive\u201d Metro ****<\/p>\n

\u201cA classic Jaxx party\u201d Clash<\/p>\n

\u201cThe Jaxx can still make dance\/pop of the highest order\u201d Mixmag<\/p>\n

\u201cAnthemic\u201d Evening Standard<\/p>\n

\u201cTwo decades on, Basement Jaxx\u2019s energy and vision appears to be undiminished\u201d MOJO ****<\/p>\n

The new EP will be based around popular album track \u2018Power To The People\u2019 – a positive and empowering song about what people of the world can achieve when they unite and collaborate. Staying truer than ever to the Basement Jaxx ethos, the project sees the duo doing something unpredictable and experimental involving a wide range of creative and unlikely people with some amazing stories – from Indian folk groups (Swarathma) to Thai reggae bands (Sticky Rice) via African drummers, hula hoopers, beatboxers, ballet dancers, Korean B Boys and, from Paraguay, The Recycled Orchestra of Cateura.<\/p>\n

On their new website \u2013 www.powertothepeople.fm , \u2018Power To The People\u2019 can be freely accessed as Felix and Simon call on musicians, singers, dancers, film-makers and artists from all corners of the globe to create their own interpretations of their song. The aim is for people at home, wherever they are in the world, musical or not, to be able to choose individual elements of the track and make their own colourful mixes.<\/p>\n

The EP, which is released online on Sunday, will feature 2 \u201cmash up\u201d mixes by Basement Jaxx, using samples from the hundreds of contributions already made to the project. plus 5 of the best versions of the song that have been submitted from around the world, and can be downloaded HERE<\/p>\n

All profits from this release will be donated to charity<\/p>\n

\u201cThe song asks us to consider our interconnectedness – it’s about people opening their minds and creating a project that defines the links between different countries. The ideal is to get every language singing some interpretation of the song, in every style of music.\u201d Felix Buxton<\/p>\n

\u201cThe words of the song are very relevant and I think they sum up an underlying spirit at the moment in the world. Good things can happen and people can make change come about. It\u2019s a serious message, but we want people to have fun.\u201d Simon Ratcliffe<\/p>\n

Basement Jaxx also go on tour this autumn \u2013 taking their hugely acclaimed live show on the road \u2013 culminating in a massive show at London\u2019s O2 arena on the 11th December. See full tour dates below.<\/p>\n
