Basement Jaxx – “Unicorn”
British dance hitmakers Basement Jaxx haven’t released an album since 2009, when they released two, Scars and Zephyr. That means they’ve more or less missed out on the past half-decade of EDM mania. But it’s time for Basement Jaxx to miss out on EDM mania no more. The group just released a song called “Unicorn” from an as-yet-untitled album they say will be out this summer. Before moving on to outsized hits like “Where’s Your Head At,” Basement Jaxx helped initiate the UK garage sound Disclosure brought back in a big way last year, and “Unicorn,” which is explicitly not a single, is a sterling example of that sound. Listen below.
