Rooty
The 2834th greatest album of all time
Rooty, released in 2001 by Basement Jaxx, expands the duo's house roots into an eclectic, high-energy set that mixes club beats with funk, soul, Latin rhythms and experimental electronic touches. The record alternates between dancefloor-ready tracks and more song-oriented moments, characterized by bold production, chopped vocals, live instrumentation and playful genre shifts. Songs like "Romeo" and "Where's Your Head At" exemplify the album's blend of pop hooks and underground club textures, and the overall sound marks a widening of the duo's musical palette.
