Speed Garage Meets Ragga-House

Gorgon City have delivered a club-ready rework of Basement Jaxx's 'Jump N' Shout,' released via Toolroom Records. The remix introduces a speed garage-inspired bassline, rolling low-end frequencies, and punchy drums that transform the 1999 ragga-house anthem into a modern dancefloor weapon. The duo keep the unmistakable ragga vocals from Birmingham MC Slarta John front and center, preserving the charismatic performance that defined the original.

Rather than completely reinventing the track, Gorgon City amplify its strongest elements. The heavier club-focused groove injects fresh momentum while maintaining the infectious energy that made 'Jump N' Shout' a Top 20 hit from Basement Jaxx's legendary debut album, Remedy.

Tribute to Slarta John

The remix also serves as a tribute to Slarta John, who passed away in 2024. By introducing his vocals to a new generation of listeners, Gorgon City ensure that one of the most memorable voices from the original track continues to resonate across modern dancefloors. His performance remains a reminder of the vibrant crossover between UK garage, house, and soundsystem culture that shaped the original release.

Festival Circuit and Club Focus

The release arrives during a busy period for Gorgon City, who recently delivered a performance on the main stage at EDC Las Vegas. While the duo's catalog is often associated with soulful vocals and deep house grooves, this remix showcases a more playful side, packed with personality, bass pressure, and enough swing to keep dancefloors moving.

More than 25 years after its original release, 'Jump N' Shout' gets a modern makeover that bridges the golden era of UK house music with today's club sound.
