basement jaxx release a greatest hits singles collection but get dropped from their label at the same time?

2005 is turning out to be a weird year for the jaxx. not only did they just win a grammy award best electronic/dance album for 'kish kash', but they have also been dropped by their US label astralwerks for the weak performance of that very album.

add to that, in less than a month, the duo will also be releasing their greatest hits collection 'singles' featuring two new tracks and a bonus cd of bootlegs and hot b-sides through their uk label xl recordings.

all i can say is thank goodness for import cd's and let's hope some cool smart label will get their act together and sign this talented duo, it's basement jaxx for crissakes!!!! i'll keep you posted...

until then, check out one of their new tracks from the forthcoming singles album
oh my gosh
