A Boiler Room set usually means one DJ behind the decks: Basement Jaxx brought three singers, a trumpet and a ballerina

Basement Jaxx played Boiler Room on the main stage in London's Burgess Park — and they turned up not as a pair behind the decks, but with a full live band. The recording of the show has just gone up for everyone to watch.

The video was published by Boiler Room itself on 28 August, a few weeks after the session.

The set runs an hour and twelve minutes. Alongside Felix Buxton and Simon Ratcliffe, ten more performers came out on stage — and this is one of those cases where the line-up reads better than the tracklist.

Why this is unusual for Boiler Room of all places

Boiler Room grew out of a format where the camera sits right up against the DJ and the crowd dances just behind them. A live band on that stage is the exception, not the rule.

Basement Jaxx always pulled house towards the shape of a big pop show: their gigs had horns, costumes and choreography. This time the same approach turned up in a place that isn't used to it.

"An ode to decades of genre-defying sound: Basement Jaxx graced our main stage in Burgess Park with a set that was a euphoric ride," Boiler Room wrote.

The session was billed as Boiler Room: London | Friday. Also on the bill that day were Silva Bumpa, Enzo Siragusa alongside PARAMIDA, Riordan and Harriet Jaxxon.

Boiler Room make a point of saying they take nothing from YouTube advertising: everything the video earns goes to the artists, the rights holders and the platform itself.

Where this duo came from

Basement Jaxx are Felix Buxton and Simon Ratcliffe, who found each other in Brixton, south London, in the mid-nineties. The duo took their name from their own parties.

The singles Red Alert, Romeo and Where's Your Head At carried them far beyond the clubs. A great deal of what is played today as funky house still rests on that sound.

The duo's catalogue is still being pulled apart for club edits. Over the summer Gorgon City put out a rework of their Jump N Shout on Toolroom.

Earlier we wrote about how Chicago spent four days celebrating itself as the birthplace of house — that story was also about where a sound now played on the biggest stages came from.
