The Urban Haze EP

Basement Jaxx

A murky, atmospheric detour into the city's underbelly. Far from the duo's later neon-bright anthems, this is house music viewed through a thick layer of smog.

March 25, 1997 · Atlantic Jaxx

A restless, smog-filled meditation on city life that trades euphoria for subterranean mystery.

Moments Worth Listening For
The way the ambient city noise in City People slowly coalesces into a steady, hypnotic pulse.
The title track's sudden shift into a murky, beatless soundscape that feels like getting lost in a literal fog.
The raw, unpolished drum machine crunch that anchors the closing track, stripping away the duo's usual polish.
Where This Album DepartsEach spoke is a trait. The orange shape shows where this album pulls away from — or holds to — the rest of the artist’s catalogue. Tap for more.
