Jamiroquai "Virtual Insanity"

Joe and Toby step into the funky vortex of the 90s to revisit
Jamiroquai’s iconic hit "Virtual Insanity." From sliding sofas and
wild hats to acid jazz breakdowns and ballet-inspired footwork, the
duo dives deep into what made this track and its legendary video so
unforgettable. Along the way, they unpack the legacy of acid jazz
as the spiritual ancestor of lo-fi, the entertaining genius of Jay
Kay, and the unsung heroics of bassist Stuart Zender. Plus: the not
so well known interpolation of Jocelyn Brown, the influence of
Stevie Wonder, a heartfelt ode to underrated basslines, and why OK
Go treadmills may be the spiritual cousins of floating couches. And
for those wondering what kind of check it would take to ditch the
day job for an 8-album record deal, don’t worry, that math gets
worked out too. Whether you're here for the history, the grooves,
or the glorious weirdness of moving furniture, this episode’s got
something for every music nerd. Disco ain't dead, and neither is
acid jazz. Crazy times indeed. Learn more about your ad choices.
