Oh fuck oh fuck oh motherfuck. Basement Jaxx featuring JC Chasez. "Plug It In." As always, Matthew's got the hook-up, much akin to Master P. To what Eppy, Ned, and the whole lot over at ILX are saying, I'd add the following after my first 10 (or so) listens.
1. Jaxx have now worked with both J-Tim (their genius acid-washed remixes of "Like I Love You") and JC in the past year. Smoke that, pop haterz.
2. This ain't the JC of that frankly horrible "Blowin' Me Up" from Drumline. This is the heretofore largely unseen vision of JC getting his freak on.
3. Add to a Cuisinart everything else the Jaxx have produced or remixed in the last 5 years, a half-dozen electroclash records, the cream of the current pop crop, a couple cases of Cristal, 20 gallons of Juan Valdez-picked Colombian coffee, 10 entire banks of keyboard equipment, and some cum. Press "purée." That's a rough approximation of "Plug It In."
4. To put it more simply, OMG this fucking rocks. To my ears, this is immediately finer than anything from Rooty save possibly the punk funk that is "Where's Your Head At." This. Is. The. Bomb.
