Ahead of new album release...

Share

XL Recordings have dismissed reports that claimed Basement Jaxx had been dropped by the record label.

Over the weekend, a number of websites claimed the group had ended their relationship with XL following the completion of a five-album deal.

Basement Jaxx vocalist Felix Buxton was also quoted as saying that the label had not offered them a replacement deal.

In a statement to Gigwise, XL Recordings said they “would like to clarify that Basement Jaxx have not been dropped by the label”.

They added: “XL Recordings will be releasing the band's new album 'Scars' on September 21 along with their new single 'Feelings Gone' featuring Sam Sparro.”

Basement Jaxx are due to headline the Jersey Live festival this weekend, before embarking on a UK tour in December.

  • They should be dropped. Their new material is awful.

  • I wouldn't be surprised if Basement Jaxx were dropped – they haven't made a good record since Where's Your Head At? They were only good when they ripped off Fatboy Slim.

  • Where's your head at? They have made 3 good albums, and lots of classic singles over the years. Good Luck, Plug it in, Take me back to your house, Hey U, Raindrops and Feelings Gone. Great band
