Rooty by Basement Jaxx
Rooty is an album by Basement Jaxx, released in 2001. 3 songs from it have charted on rock radio countdowns, with 24 countdown appearances in total. The biggest is “Where's Your Head At?”, on 22 lists with a best position of #4.
Rooty, the second album from Basement Jaxx, came out on 25 June 2001 through XL in Britain and Astralwerks in America, and it's a house record that refuses to stay in the house. Felix Buxton and Simon Ratcliffe produced it themselves, the Brixton duo who took their name from their own club night, and they cram everything into the mix: gospel-fired hooks, punk sneer, electro squelch and a pop sense that could fill a stadium.
Five singles came off it, "Romeo", "Jus 1 Kiss", "Where's Your Head At", "Get Me Off" and "Do Your Thing", the last one only in Australia. "Where's Your Head At" is the one that stuck, a snarling, riff-driven banger built to make rock kids dance. Like Remedy before it, Rooty won over the critics and the charts alike.
