Where's Your Head At

This was a huge international hit for Basement Jaxx, which is a UK dance/production duo formed in London by DJs Felix Buxton and Simon Ratcliffe. Buxton, who writes most of their lyrics, told us this song is about "Losing control and about states of anxiousness," adding, "Basically, they're the same divide between sanity and madness."

The hook comes from a sample of Gary Numan's track "M.E." from his 1979 album The Pleasure Principle.

Damien Peachey is the lead vocalist on this song. Never heard of him? That's typical of Basement Jaxx, who use a variety of singers - many unknown - on their tracks. And also typical, the duo adjusted the song to suit Peachey's personality. They took some time to get to know him and tweaked the words so he would be for comfortable singing them.
