"It's definitely different from anything we've ever done before..." Felix from Basement Jaxx on the new single and album. "They just said they wanted to work so we went there and it didn't take long, about 20 minutes. I went back a couple of months later and finished it off. We connected together well, it was amazing. I'd never heard myself on something that big before - it was two worlds colliding and the outcome was heavy." Dizzee Rascal on working with Basement Jaxx. [4]
Receptionedit
AllMusic's John Bush stated: "Teenage garage-rap sensation Dizzee Rascal turns in a fabulous outré performance on "Lucky Star," but the Indian filmi sample driving the song displays Basement Jaxx in a light they've never been in before: behind the times."[5]
While comparing the album's sound to "the aural equivalent of Shiva's rainbow cumshot," Mark Pytlik from Pitchfork Media stated: "Oh well-- at least Felix and Simon had the good sense to dress Dizzee up in pretty colors while they had him."[6]
Music videoedit
The video for "Lucky Star" was directed by Katie Dawson and shot at London-based Camden Studio, with a guest appearance by Rascal. Dawson was picked directly from the duo after they saw her directorial work for MTV and wanted to create something similar.[7]
Dawson stated the video was "the quickest turn around job" she has ever worked on. "I was approached late in the day on a Thursday. The band wanted to see a treatment by Friday morning. They loved it and gave the go ahead to shoot the following Wednesday," she said. Later on, the casting for a belly dancer, martial arts expert, gymnast, rocket girl, breakdancer with booking crew and studio were all finished within two days.[7]
A chroma key studio background from the Camden Studio was used.[8] After shooting the green screen shots, the duo needed the edit complete with all compositing and animations finished by the following week.
"Sticking Dizzee's head on a radioactive child's dancing body was never going to be straight forward; but I've always said directing is a group effort and with something this complicated having a great team around you made it really enjoyable even though I didn't get much sleep that week," Dawson said.[7]
