Jakatta slate Basement Jaxx & Daft Punk

Dave Lee from Jakatta has had a go at Basement Jaxx and Daft Punk, accusing them of making boring albums.

he was quoted for Radio1 as saying "As much as I like Basement Jaxx and Daft Punk, I find listening to their albums, all the way through, boring"

Personally I love Both acts and think he's a bit out of order as the albums are really good, variations and not all using the same type of samples anyway

What do you think ?

basement jaxx and daft punk are chEEsy american house dj's...although house was the birth place in detroit, there far behing of what real house sounds like Rolling Eyes

not really my type of house musik i wud listen to, to fucken commercial and their set from radio 1 was shit...only some tunes were nice, but from top of that their boring as hell.....

As far as I knew, the person behind Daft Punk & Cassius was French Confused

Daft Punk and Basement Jaxx are too commercial, i think thats why he found he could slate them.
Personally, i think he's correct.. their music doesen't compare to Jakatta. Dave Lee produces some brilliant music, and will always be one of my favorite producers.

Bassement jaxx and Daft Punk aren't commercial. you just need to listen to all their songs not what u hear on compilations and the radio. And anyway what about Jakkata's American Dream...last time i looked that was getting a bit commercial.
They are all good!

OMFG Jakatta said that, okay I dont really like daft punk / basement jaxx (all a bit to cheesy well i didnt mind wheres you head at), but jakatta has no place to say that, Have you heard jakattas follow up to american dream? How boring is that, OK if you create music you have a certain style but it sounds the same! christ if jakatta made an album they may aswell wack 12 tracks all with American dream on it!. What utter utter shit.
