Scapegoat Wax rolled out of Chico, California, a hip-hop and breakbeat crew built by Marty James and Jonny Z, the latter also going by J.DeVille, with Mr. Dope America in the lineup too. Their 1999 album Luxurious is a sunny, loose-limbed grab bag of beats, samples and slacker hooks, the kind of record that sounds like it was cut with the windows open.
The song that stuck was "Aisle 10 (Hello Allison)", a bouncing, breakbeat-driven charmer with a hook you can hum in the checkout line. It found a second life in video games, turning up in Jet Set Radio Future on the Xbox and on the Project Gotham Racing soundtrack. "Almost Fine" and "Lost Cause" followed as smaller singles, and "Space to Share" kept turning up on screen, in films like Clockstoppers, America's Sweethearts and 40 Days and 40 Nights and in an episode of Malcolm in the Middle.
